How to Create an Artistic Backyard

At best your backyard may be neat but boring. At worst, it may have junk lying around and not be a place you want to spend any time. With a little imagination and creativity, you can make your Las Vegas backyard landscaping a showcase.

How Backyard Landscaping Can Be Fun

Creating interesting themes in the backyard is a great family project. From a life-size chessboard to a vertical garden there are hundreds of ways you can entice people to get up off the couch and get some fresh air. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Art installations may consist of unique statues made from recycled objects that you would ordinarily throw away. If you have a fence, you can add seasonal decorations that the whole neighborhood may enjoy.

A putting green can be great fun for adults who need the practice and children who just want to play. Putting greens can be installed with artificial grass, so they won’t require much upkeep.

A large barrel can be used to collect rainwater and with a funny face painted it adds humor to your environment.

Fountains and Waterfalls

If you prefer to have professional art installations, you can purchase a variety of garden gnomes doing different tasks in your garden or comical fountains or waterfalls. Topiary trees can be live or artificial and shaped like animals such as giraffes or elephants. Scarecrows are another fixture that can be changed periodically to coincide with the seasons or holidays. Some decorations that are popular for holidays such as giant spiders from Halloween or white twinkling lights from Christmas can be used all year round to add interest to your backyard.

A Showcase Backyard

Interesting and artistic backyard landscaping may change your boring patio and lawn into a wonderland of plants, animals and artwork. It will become a place you and your visitors want to see and enjoy.
