As you look to update your home’s look for the New Year, don’t stop with the inside. The exterior of your home is the first thing people see, so make a good impression. Consider incorporating some of the most popular hardscaping design trends for 2013 into your landscape this year.
Fragrant flowers are a must around your home. Often growing in beautiful colors, these will attract attention and dress up any area of your yard…not to mention make it smell amazing!- Old-fashioned flowers are also seeing a surge in popularity due in large part to their timeless beauty. Plant some moonflower, hydrangeas, lavender or Russian sage to give your home a laid-back feel.
- Permeable pavers serve as a beautiful surface in your garden or on your walkways and also allow storm water to seep into the ground rather than pooling up on the surface.
- By planting your own herb garden, you’ll save a ton of money when you need to add these fresh flavors to your meals. You also will love how beautiful an herb garden looks in your yard, either in dressy planters or as part of a larger vegetable garden.
- Huge hanging baskets can add beauty and fill up any space, serving as both stunning decoration and fresh, fragrant centerpiece.
- Instead of a large sprawling yard of green grass, instead use large bushes and flower plants to create a more wild and original look in your yard.
