If you’re looking to spruce up your Burnaby real estate, a new landscaping plan could do the trick. Even if you just have a small yard, you can still create a beautiful garden out of flowers, shrubs, and trees. Here are a few ways to make your yard look brand new.

3 Landscaping Ideas for your Burnaby Home

Create a Theme

An interesting theme can help you create a memorable garden. There are a variety of things you can use as an inspiration for your theme. You can focus in on a certain region of the world, and only buy plants that grow naturally there.  For example, you can create a Japanese garden full of sculpted bonsai trees, bamboo, and orchids. If the idea of using a region doesn’t appeal to you, you can use nature as your theme. You can buy plants similar to the ones seen in the forests near your home. Or, you can use the beach as your inspiration and create a backyard full of the types of plants normally found near the ocean. Having a theme will help you focus your creativity so you can create a beautiful yard.

Make an Edible Garden

If you love vegetables, fruit, and herbs, why not grow your own? An edible garden can be filled with herbs to spice up your food. You can also plant fruits and vegetables that are native to your area. Food always tastes better when it’s grown locally, and you can’t get more local than your own backyard.

Go Simple

Sometimes, simple is better. This is especially true if you don’t have a lot of time to maintain your yard. However, even though you’re using fewer materials your yard doesn’t have to lack creativity. There are many ways to make a yard beautiful and easy to take care of. One way to do this is to use stones. You can create a stone garden that features rocks of many different shapes and textures.  If stones don’t appeal to you, you can use plants that don’t need much care. A quick search online will tell you what low-maintenance plants are natural to your area. A simple garden can easily be just as beautiful as one that must be tended often.

These ideas will help you start landscaping the yard of your dreams. A perfectly landscaped yard is easy to create as long as you have a plan. With a little hard work, your yard will be beautiful.
