Spruce Up Your Front Yard With Colorful Plantings in the Camp Hill and South Middleton Township, PA Areas
When you want to add a new look to your landscape, you can do so with new plantings. Colorful plantings of a wide array could add a cheery vibe to your front yard. These natural additions will also be an attractive element for pollinators to visit your landscape. Here are some ways to spruce up your front yard in the Camp Hill and South Middleton Township, PA, areas:
Adding Plantings Along the Driveway
Your driveway is likely what people first see when they visit your home. It’s also a focal point for neighbors who walk by your house or drive past your property. Your landscaping professionals can create small garden beds on both sides of the driveway or add large planters at one end. These areas can be filled with colorful flowers such as pansies and petunias, to brighten up this outdoor space.
Welcoming Guests with Views of Plants and Flowers
Your front door entrance and front yard patio can be spruced up with plantings, including flowers of all different colors. Red, purple, white, yellow, and orange blooms can fill the front entryway so all guests and family members who arrive at your door are greeted with cheery flowers and lush green plantings. Add small flower pots to any front porch tables and add planters to the perimeter of your front patio and on both sides of the doorway for an inviting appearance. Creeping vines with colorful flowers can be added to the posts and columns of your covered front porch to add to the natural vibe of this area.
Raised Garden Beds Brighten the Area
Add a colorful touch to your lawn area by adding raised garden beds. The garden beds can be constructed along a paver walkway to your front door or on top of retaining walls in your front yard. You can also have garden beds added to the perimeter of a front patio. Annuals interspersed with perennials in the flower beds provide a reason to switch up the view year after year. Green plants and other foliage can blend in nicely with the bright and vibrant blooms you choose for your garden beds.
Surrounding Trees with Flowers
If you have large shade trees in your front yard, add color to these areas by including a small floral garden area at the base of the tree. Surround the tree base with mulch and add lovely plantings, such as dahlias, zinnias, and marigolds. These colorful plantings will add an exquisite contrast between the different color blooms and the green leaves of the tree. Best of all, these flowers will be out in the open area of your yard where they’ll receive plenty of water when it rains and slight shade from the large tree above them.
