Outdoor Landscaping Ideas For The Home

Are you looking for low maintenance outdoor landscaping ideas?  Cool green grass is the first choice for most homeowners.  Some areas are now putting limits on how much homeowners are allowed to water.  We should all be conscience of our water usage even when it isn’t being enforced.  Here are a few outdoor landscaping ideas that do not require constant watering.

The first thing to do would be to get rid of the thirsty lawn in the front yard.  Instead have a woodsy garden, cozy patio or wild flower meadow.  An outdoor landscape plan for the front yard would be to greet your guests with a natural stone walkway.  Turn the front into a woodsy garden that includes concrete or natural stone slabs.  The walkway becomes more intriguing with a variety of small evergreen shrubs and delightful perennials lining the path.

Living in the cooler climates of the North east through to the west will require planting some perennials that may bloom in the summer and others that blossom in the winter months. One perennial that offers year round beauty is the hellebores that offers colorful blooms through the spring and summer.  It is a buttercup varietal that can have up to 50 blossoms and will grow to 18 inches.

Those living in the southwest are not new to drought resistant outdoor landscaping ideas and commonly utilize their front yard as an additional patio area.  Instead of lawn they use gravel in a variety of colors and place native plants such as cactus varieties in their garden areas.  Shade can be created by adding a pergola shading a cozy dining area.

The west can been severely affected by droughts every few years.  Low maintenance and outdoor landscape ideas that require very little water should be a top priority.  Rosemary and lavender both smell and look beautiful in the front or backyard.  They will flourish with very little water or care.  In the west a “zero-scape” or hardscape of concrete or stone slab with a water feature could be installed.  Consider it an intimate area to sip your cup of joe in the morning.  

There are several online sites that give suggestions for native plants that would deffinately thrive in your region.  They will display photos so that you are then able to purchase them from the local nursery or even order the plants from these sites. Instead of purchasing larger plants, buy smaller ones in four inch pots and plant them about two feet apart.  You will be surprised at how fast they grow into lovely adult plants.
