Flower beds don't just fill your garden with beautiful colors; they also add an artistic touch with their creative layout. There are different types and styles of flower beds you can incorporate in your landscape design to enhance its appearance. Below are a few ideas you can take advantage of to transform your yard.

A Guide to Flower Beds in Landscape Designs

1. Along Pathways

Colorful flower beds along pathways make your morning walks a sight to behold. This is a fantastic way to combine landscaping elements with hardscapes like concrete pavers or wood walkways. While you can choose any type of flower to boost curb appeal, experts usually suggest using perennials to make the effect last throughout the blooming season.

2. Around Trees

If you’re wondering how to utilize the wide space around a tree’s circumference, a well-crafted flower bed is the answer. Surround trees with flowering plants of your choice and repeat the same pattern for other foliage around the yard. Bright-colored perennials, such as phlox, asters, and peonies are ideal. You can also incorporate pavers or garden rocks to add further dimension to your flower beds.

3. Inside Garden Boxes

Garden boxes are practical for yards with limited square footage. You can choose boxes in any size to create separate compartments. The raised garden technique helps create a boundary, warding off pests and weeds from invading your handpicked plants. What’s more, using boxes is an effective way to prevent soil compaction and ensure proper water drainage.

4. In Patterns

There’s no limit to the creative route you can take with designing flower beds for your outdoor space. You can pick a geometric shape or come up with your own aesthetic layout. Opt for floral color combinations that best complement the patterns you’ve come up with.
