Can you provide me landscaping tips for a flat back yard?

Answer by  hedgielady (126)

One simple way to add excitement to any yard is to create plantings of various heights. Use trellises, arches, arbors and pergolas for visual interest and support for climbing plants. Another alternative to consider is to replace a boring grass lawn with a meadow. Meadow gardens can survive in any hardiness zone, and tolerate a high variety of conditions.

Try making paths out decorative blocks or stone, leading to focal points such as gazebos or fountains. Attract wildlife. Add bird feeders, plant flowers which attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.

A flat yard can benefit from adding substantial focal points that will add variety and height. Depending on the size of your yard, you might add trees, a small gazebo, accent fencing, shrubbery, a bird bath, statues, a fountain or other items. Use pathways and plantings to organize your yard around the focal point(s).

Planters, fountains,ponds,or a light here and there can add a dramatic effects to any yard. Once a theme is selected just let your dreams take over. Depending on budgets and gound types, back yards are ideal dreamscapes. Time is another factor, if you don't have it then simple is good.
