There are endless opportunities and creative ways to add flowers to your landscaping. Because of their diversity, flowers are an excellent way to fill empty spaces in your yard. There is guaranteed to be a color or type for everyone and every yard!

Annuals are a creative way to add to your landscaping

Perennials are great because they pop up on their own every spring, but once they stop blooming there will be a large gap in your landscaping. Annual flowers are a practical choice because they will be consistent throughout the season. 

Some annual flowers include:

• Petunias
• Zinnias
• Geraniums
• Marigolds
• Begonias

Urns are a creative way to add flowers to your landscaping

Design is an important factor to consider when adding flowers to your landscaping. Thankfully, flowers can be planted just about anywhere. You could opt for a designated flower bed, or perhaps you’d like flowers running along your entry pathway. 

Flower urns are a great option for incorporating design elements in a creative way. Urns come in a variety of colors, materials, and designs. They are also an excellent way to add a height dimension to your landscaping. 

Helpful tip: If you are planting in an urn, make sure you choose flowers that have similar sunlight and water tolerances.

Keep in mind, urns are useful all year long. Annual flowers in planters or urns can change with the seasons into fall colors and winter décor. And Great Goats Landscaping will help you make these transitions!

Keep colors in mind

One way to choose your flowers is by color. For example, choose one color (pink) throughout but in several varieties of flowers (zinnias, dahlia, begonias, and geraniums). 

Perhaps you want the same flower (dahlias) but in every color variety it offers (peach, red, lavender, white, yellow, orange and pink). 

You could choose a combination of 3 or 4 different colors….or a combination of 3 or 4 different flower varieties…See? There are truly endless creative ways to add flowers to your landscaping.

Looking for beautiful landscaping and intriguing curb appeal but don’t want to break the bank? Here are a few simple ideas to boost your curb appeal on a budget.

Install pavers or a pathway

Pavers are a great option if you want to boost your curb appeal on a budget. There are many material options such as brick, stone, or wood. You can also get creative with the shape! Consider wooden rounds, symmetrical bricks, or a mixture of stone shapes and sizes. 

Illuminate pathways to boost curb appeal on a budget

Simple lighting can go a long way in boosting your curb appeal, and it isn’t difficult or expensive to install. The options are nearly endless – you can go as elaborate or simple as you want. 

Plant a tree (or two)

Not only is it great for the environment, trees help fill out your yard and bring height diversity to your landscaping. Trees also reduce the amount of water runoff from rain, and they provide clean oxygen. 

Mulch to boost curb appeal on a budget

Mulch is one of the simplest, most important, and most cost effective ways to boost your curb appeal. Adding mulch to flower beds or around trees gives everything a finished and polished look. Mulching is also helpful for moisture retention. 

Add a water feature

Water features can be as simple or elaborate as you want them to be. Water features range from a small birdbath to a fountain or a waterfall or a small pond. Depending on the size of your yard, a water feature can give your landscaping that extra wow-factor to boost your curb appeal on a budget.  

Plant flower bed to boost curb appeal on a budget

Flowers are an excellent way to add color to your landscaping and boost your curb appeal at the same time. You could choose to plant flowers along the front of your house, along a walkway, or in a place of their own in your yard. Consider planting native flowers to aid the bees, butterflies, and birds. 

Install a retaining wall

If you have a sloped yard, retaining walls are a perfect way to add dimension to your landscaping and level out your yard at the same time. You can incorporate many intriguing landscaping ideas with a retaining wall, including staircases, flowers, lighting, and bushes.
