Terraced planters can give your landscape a boost. They can help create balance and definition while helping make the most of uneven terrain on your property.
- Terraces are built by creating a series of retaining walls, in the process creating a terrace that evens the terrain out and makes it possible to plant flower beds between the terraces. The larger your landscape, and the greater the incline, the wider you will want the spaces between your terraces to be.
- When terracing, scale is important. Your terraces should fit the landscape and be used to create a frame around it. For permanence and durability, most terraces are constructed from stone, brick, or textured concrete. These materials create a strong visual effect while giving the terrace considerable strength.
- Moreover, within your terrace, you will want to select plants that will compliment your lawn and not grow so large that they’ll hide the terrace. Low growing grasses, shrubbery, and flowers are ideal as they accent the terrace and draw attention to their elegant beauty.
