3 Creative Backyard Landscaping Ideas

1. Water Features

A small waterfall, stream, or pond can act as a beautiful focal point for your yard. You can even incorporate some aquatic life, if you so choose. Fountains are also popular choices for creating movement in an outdoor space. The sounds of running water will create blissful background noise for your summer barbecues or quiet evenings spent outdoors.

2. Glorious Gardens

Add some color to your landscape by adding a flower garden. Consider planting lush, low-maintenance perennials that will return each year with magnificent blooms. You can also choose among shrubs, small trees, and other plant life at varying heights for visual appeal. Or, test out your green thumb by cultivating an herb garden. If you’re feeling bold, you might even want to try your hand at growing some vegetables. Lettuce, spinach, and tomatoes are all easy to grow, and vegetable gardens can create lively, functional greenery for your backyard.

3. Landscape Stones

Break up your space and create an aesthetically pleasing pathway using stones through your yard. Or, place stones strategically to section off mulched areas, gardens, patios, and more. Creating distinct spaces throughout your backyard can also make lawn care much simpler.
