Flowers
Sprucing your deck up with color and life is easier to do with flowers. The environment will appear more inviting to guests and help your landscaping stand out among other homes in the area.
When you add flowers, you can select the plants you want, but it’s always best to speak with professionals to learn how to incorporate these features into your landscaping plan. Make sure you choose flowers that can be well maintained. Most importantly, plan the installation process first, whether you’re designing a flower bed or just placing plants around the deck in beds of mulch. Ultimately, your choices will come down to your budget, location, and availability.
Decorative Rock Bed
Creating an impressive look is one thing homeowners strive for when it comes to landscaping around a deck. However, easy maintenance is another advantage most will try to obtain. With a decorative rock bed, you can have beautiful scenery that’s easy to maintain. Minimizing the costs and work it takes to replace or remove plants allows you to enjoy more time on your deck taking in the great weather and wonderful ambience. Another advantage is limiting the pests that come onto the stones and beach pebbles, as decorative rocks don’t attract animals and insects as much as flowers, fruits and vegetables, and other plants do.
Pond & Gravel Pit
If you want to bring water into the landscaping around your deck but aren’t up to adding a pool, consider incorporating a pond and gravel pit. These features can be fantastic if you want to create a camping-like ambience in your yard for the children or if you just want to unwind with a good book or get some rest in the backyard. Natural stones, such as black polished pebbles, arranged around the pond can give your feature the enclosure you seek and bring your creation to life.
Trees
If you want to enjoy shades of privacy while sitting on the deck alone or with friends and family, you can do so by incorporating trees into your landscaping project. Trees won’t only give you the shade you crave during the warmer days, but they’ll also complement the open space with a soft look.
You can give the canopy-like trees a vibrant and magical feel by adding different styles, shapes, and colors of stones, decorative rocks, and beach pebbles, such as green, gold, or white pebbles. Keep in mind that making the area around your deck more secluded doesn’t mean you’ll have a dark and gloomy space.
