While the neighbor down the street has their house listed for sale and is doing everything in their power to increase curb appeal, you could care less about that. You are not trying to sell your home and you certainly have no intention of doing so anytime in the near future. You are building a life here and working towards that quiet enjoyment you hear so much about.
You’ve done up your home as you want it and are now moving on to your lawn and garden. Are you looking for the loveliest yard in the neighborhood so that you can enjoy those warm summer days undisturbed, right here in your own little paradise? If so, here are some amazing tips that should help you get just what you are after.
Make Use of a Trellis for the Main Entryway to Your Back Yard
How majestic is it to walk through a trellis covered in climbing vines? Doesn’t it bring you back to memories of your childhood when you’d read those fairy tales with ivy-covered walls and trellises adorned with flowering vines through which the princess would walk to meet her prince? You can easily achieve the same thing with a trellis you can build yourself with materials from your local home improvement store and a few tips on My Gardening Network about four amazing kinds of vines, which are:
1. Twining
2. Clinging
3. Hooks
4. Tendrils
Each has its own way of climbing and each is just as lovely and just as majestic as the other. It’s purely a matter of preference.
A Backyard Pond for Purpose and Pleasure
Another feature which adds that something extra to your backyard is a pond. These can have pumps installed to pump water up to a lovely fountain that softly offers the peaceful sounds of running water and you can actually even stock your pond with fish!
You can teach the kids to fish if you’d like or you can simply stock your pond with fish you have no intention of eating, but they will add that extra touch of nature you’ve been longing for all these years. Purpose your pond with edible fish and all the while you’ll have the pleasure of sounds and sights to relax and lift the spirit.
Ambient Lighting
With all the advances in LED lighting, you can now light your backyard with some of the loveliest colors imaginable at no cost after you’ve bought the solar-powered ambient garden lights. Use the lights to line the walkway leading from your garden trellis to your backyard pond and see if you don’t feel like you truly are in fairyland in the evenings as you sit in a cool breeze enjoying the best that nature has to offer after a long, hard day at home and work.
Why not give yourself the gift of the loveliest yard in the neighborhood? After all, it’s yours to enjoy and enjoy it you shall! It doesn’t cost a small fortune to make some amazingly easy changes and within just a short time you’ll have your own piece of serenity – the best that nature has to offer right here in your very own yard.
