Best Landscaping Ideas

Invite people with Flowers

Flowers always make a home seem more welcoming. Adorn your entrance with assorted annuals and perennials to keep color year long.

Plant Rambling Vines

Grow them on a fence, on a trellis, or in a container. Or let them scramble over shrubs and perennials.

Dress Up Your Driveway

By carefully sculpting the landscape and choosing the right plants and materials, you can hide your unattractive driveway. Start by creating a slightly raised island of lawn in the center of the drive. Then, add a low boxwood hedge toward the back of the island with roses, annuals, and perennials rising above the hedge in the front. Blend a variety of colors, textures, and heights for a great look. 

Plant No-Fuss Lilies

These don't need fertilizer, and welcome hot, humid summers with lily-like flowers that perfume the air. they're practically indestructible.

 Add Height with Planters and Baskets

Add dimension to your yard with elevated planters and hanging baskets. It creates a sea of beautiful color. Plants love the good drainage and aeration that raised planters provide

Hide Outdoor Structures

Sheds, garages, and outdoor work spaces are not always the most attractive in your yard. Use these spaces as a setting for a beautiful display of plants and flowers.
