Beat the Winter Doldrums by Considering These 4 Landscaping Ideas

If the winter doldrums are already setting in, then it may be time to think about what you want to do with your landscaping for 2019. There are some new ideas on the horizon you may want to incorporate into your Georgia landscaping. Here are some for you to ponder. 

Adult Treehouses

Almost everyone has a memory of wishing they had a treehouse as a child. Now, you can make that a reality as treehouses have become the perfect place to entertain your guests or have a relaxing drink. While most people are just using them for social activities, people are even building tiny treehouses to live in permanently. The trend to upscale treehouses often includes hooking them up with electricity so they can be enjoyed comfortably even during the warm summer months.

Unusual Planting Locations

More people than ever before are adding an unusual re-purposed item to their landscaping to plant flowers, herbs or vegetables in. While some are using old clawfoot bathtubs, some are taking it to the next level by planting in commodes. Many are filling the tank and pot with plants while adding a colorful sign to the front of the tank. People choosing this idea say they really enjoy seeing the reaction of their friends to this newfangled garden focal spot.

Weathered Garden Spots

While many homeowners spend hours making sure that their outdoor seating area looks great, others are embracing a more carefree attitude by using weathered items. For example, you might use unpainted Adirondack chairs for seating. A beat-up old ice cooler adds to the ambiance while an old bushel basket makes a great place to store yard games.

Use Stain Glass Windows

One of the hottest trends in landscaping right now is to create outdoor living rooms. For example, you may want one for the children to play in and one where you can sit with your significant other for a quiet conversation. While many people choose shrubs or plants to divide the unique areas, consider using stain glass windows to separate yours. They will cast beautiful colors throughout your landscaping.
