Living in the Hollywood, SC area means being able to take in (and take full advantage of) the scenic atmosphere around you. This is especially true for any landscaping projects you may have been cooking up while the temperature warms up.

Well, now’s your chance to roll up your sleeves and take a crack at a few landscaping ideas that are sure to freshen up your home’s look

1. Make a Grand Entrance

Strategically place two 8-to-10-foot tall evergreens at the entrance of your front or back yard to create a dramatic effect. The height and stature of the trees will make a very bold statement to anyone visiting your home. Think of it as nature’s “Welcome!” mat.

2. Contain Your Trees and Shrubs

Don’t be afraid to utilize large, decorative pots and containers for some of your trees, bushes and shrubs. The greatest advantage of this is that it allows you to reconfigure the layout of your lawn and garden with a virtually endless number of possibilities.

3. Leave Space For Yourself

The best part about creating the perfect garden and landscape configuration is the ability to sit back and enjoy your hard work. Place a quaint set of chairs and a garden table somewhere you can truly appreciate the masterpiece you’ve created.

4. Embrace the Shade

If you have a taller tree line near your property, chances are there will be a few shady spots that may not allow for much growth. Take advantage by placing plants, with bright, iridescent shine, that also don’t need a large amount of sunlight each day to survive.

5. Introduce Climbing Vines

For an enhanced dramatic effect, setup stone pillars or a metal trellis to allow for creeping vines to slowly make their way around and eventually call your garden “home.” Be sure to prune and maintain them regularly, as they can become a bit unruly if left unchecked.

While the winter can be very harsh on some yards, it doesn’t mean you can’t spruce up your property in time for the spring season. Just follow these tips and you’ll be right as rain!
