10 Quick Ways to Spruce Up Your Homes Landscape
A poorly landscaped front yard can greatly reduce the value of your property. Here are ten quick ways to spruce up your home´s landscape.
1. Prevent weeds by using an organic mulch. This keeps the ground cool, it enriches the
soil as it breaks down and it looks nice.
2. Add an attractive border along the areas where you have planted plants, flowers or
trees. Visit your local landscape supply store today.

4. Use solar lights to illuminate your entryway. Place them between 3 and 5 feet apart.
5. Form an island by planting perennials and different sized trees. Cover the ground with
mulch.
6. If you have a good size tree in your yard, build a tree bench around it to add seating
to your landscaping.

attractive way, fill with dirt and add flowers.
8. Install window boxes under your front windows. Plant colorful flowers inside.
