Landscape Design Ideas For the Winter Season

Here are landscape design ideas you can implement this winter.

While winter is often seen as a season for staying indoors, it’s actually a nice time to get some home landscaping done. Whether you plan to get professional help, or perform landscaping yourself, there are plenty of design ideas that you can use to make your yard look great this winter. Here are landscape design ideas you can implement this winter.

Add Lighting to Your Yard

It gets dark during winter, especially without daylight savings time bringing extra sunlight during the late hours of the day. This means a little extra lighting can be just what your yard needs to get through the winter season. Whether you choose spotlights, string lights, or solar lights, they’re all great options for illuminating your yard so you get use out of your landscape at all hours of the day.

Consider Adding Water Features

This may sound like a questionable decision as far as winter landscape design goes. After all, you might be thinking that the water will simply freeze in the cold of winter. As it happens, however, water features like ponds or fountains can actually be beneficial to your landscape. Since these features have moving water, it actually prevents parts of your landscape from getting frozen over. Not only that, but these features add a touch of serenity to your yard that will persist long after winter is over.

Try Adding a Pergola to Your Landscape

Another way to enhance your winter landscape design is by installing a new pergola. Pergolas, like the water features we mentioned earlier, offer value that persists even after winter. When it’s still winter, a pergola offers a covered area for you to hang out. This cover is also great for shielding outdoor decor from the weather.

Plant Some Seasonal Winter Flowers

To add a little extra liveliness and color to your yard, another part of your winter landscape design routine should include adding seasonal winter flowers. Some of these flowers include tulips, daffodils, pansies, and lilies. These flowers thrive in the cold of winter, and they bloom beautifully during this time. With the right flowers, you can really brighten up your yard, even as winter makes a lot of your landscape go dormant.
