Amazingly Affordable
Your home’s livable space is only a small part of your property’s total area. You can make the most of your yard and improve its appearance with some careful landscaping. Even better, sprucing up your home’s exterior or backyard doesn’t have to break the cash. It is possible to do amazing yard landscaping even on a budget.
Refresh or add mulch beds. Mulch provides visual interest to any yard at a reasonable cost. Mulch provides significant benefits for your yard aside from the visual benefits of breaking up the landscaping and helping to keep weeds or grass in check. It’s especially excellent for garden beds or around the base of young trees since it can assist plants to retain moisture while also insulating the roots. That can mean savings on your water cost for you.
Plant perennial. The beauty of perennial flowers and plants is that you can buy them once and enjoy them year after year. Although planting seedlings or blooming flowers has an initial cost, choosing perennial species can provide you with many beautiful options in almost any environment. Many perennial plants will spread over time to fill more area, which can be a terrific way to add a splash of color. Even if not all of the seeds germinate, most gardeners will be able to get some of those flowers to blossom, even if they don’t have a green thumb.
Improve edging around your patio. By adding a landscaping buffer to an existing patio, you can increase its visual effect while reducing the amount of lawn space you’re responsible for watering. The cheapest alternative is to dig a trench around the current patio and fill it with mulch. One step up from that, landscaping stones can give a more sophisticated touch – with the added benefit of not needing to be changed as frequently as mulch.
While yard landscaping might be a do-it-yourself effort, it should not be. If you don’t have the time, the necessary tools, or the desire to handle your own landscaping, consider hiring a landscaping contractor. JV Lawn Care is the contractor you can trust in Knoxville, TN.
