3 Ideas to Eliminate Eyesores in Your Backyard Landscaping

While you want your backyard to look beautiful, it may also be a necessary space to store things that you and your family need. If you are tired of saying, my backyard is beautiful except for the water hose, trash cans or another eyesore, consider these ideas to hide your backyard functional and beautiful.

Use Trellises

One way to hide eyesores is to use a trellis. Many types of plants do well on trellises in the Las Vegas area. Honeysuckle, wisteria and several varieties of grapes grow well. In order to hide the problem as quickly as possible, consider one that grows quickly. Keep in mind the amount of light and water that each plant needs to choose the best one for your environment.

Employ a Boulder

A boulder or a large rock is a great way to camouflage ugly eyesores. Think about placing one in front of an ugly pipe. You may even want to consider using the boulder as a focal point and plant a garden around it. A rock garden is a great way to create an interesting feature in your yard because there are many xeriscape plants that can work well in them. Desert marigolds often offer a bright spot in these gardens, but you may also want to consider using rocks and moss to make the rocks look more natural instead of like you planted them there. Enhance the rock’s natural appearance by choosing a rock that is big enough that you can place about one-third of it in the ground.

Increase Storage

One of the reasons that backyards often have a messy appearance despite the owner’s best intent is that there is not enough storage. There are many different ways to add storage to backyards. Consider storing firewood under a seat on the patio. Use a natural-colored water hose storage container to hide water hoses that will blend into the background. Create boxes that open on the side of your home to hide small gardening tools conveniently. If you have stairs leading to a second story, then consider building storage under them with a locking door.

Even though you must have gardening tools, water hoses and trash cans in your backyard. There is no need for them to be an eyesore. A professional landscaping company can help you create Las Vegas backyard landscapingdesigns that minimize eyesores.
