When a house is built in a wooded area, the least expensive route is to leave the surroundings and yard in a natural condition without a lawn. Opting for a new lawn can be seen as a plus for some.
But for the next people who come to live in a house, it may be considered an unnecessary cost and maintenance headache.
An easy backyard idea for side yards is to create a layered landscape – just like in nature. Think of a forest with low groundcovers, ferns, shade-tolerant understory shrubs and trees, and the tall overhead trees.
You can do the same thing with your side yard landscaping! Use things like groundcovers, bulbs and crevice plants to create a beautiful layered landscape, while maximizing your flower bed space!
