Just because the winter season is associated with a certain bleakness doesn’t mean that your yard can’t look great. Don’t assume that the snow will just cover everything – use the following 6 winter landscaping tips to keep your yard looking fantastic during the winter:
- Choose trees based on bark – Add trees to your yard based on the quality of the bark, which will add texture and visual interest during the winter.
- Use berry bushes – There are plenty of trees and bushes that have berries throughout the winter, such as a holly or crabapples.
