Ideas To Make Your Yard More Efficient

Let’s dive in and start brainstorming some specific ideas you can implement in your space this summer season.

• Reduce the size of your lawn by replacing sections with other features like mulch, low-maintenance plants, or gravel. 

• Feature native plants that are well-adapted to your local climate. These typically require less fertilizing, watering, and pest control. 

• Make your existing fence more private and wind and sound resistant with fence slats. 

• Consider artificial turf in place of grass. 

• Use trellises, hanging planters, and walls to use and maximize vertical space. 

• Select furniture that doubles as storage or that services multiple purposes. 

• Define specific zones within your outdoor space to make it feel more organized and functional. For example, designated spots for gardening, dining, or lounging. 

• Retaining walls, walkways, and patios can help clearly define the various zones within your outdoor space. 

• Use cisterns or rain barrels to collect rainwater for use in your garden. 

• Install smart irrigation systems that adjust water based on weather conditions and soil conditions.

• Recycle yard waste and kitchen scraps in a compost pile. This creates nutrient-rich compost to be used in your garden. 

• Use outdoor lighting to your advantage, like highlighting specific features, extending the usable hours of your yard, and creating a cozy ambiance. 

• Incorporate one or more focal points in your yard like a sculpture or water feature. 

• Create a visibly appealing space by using a variety of colors, heights, and textures for plants. 

• Make the area comfortable with seating, cushions, throw pillows, and outdoor blankets.
