Boost Your Curb Appeal: Easy Garden Improvements for Every Season

Want to make your home the envy of the neighborhood? Boosting your curb appeal is easier than you think! With a few simple garden improvements, you can transform your outdoor space into a welcoming oasis – no matter the season. Here's how:

Spring: As the world awakens, breathe new life into your garden.

• Add pops of color: Plant vibrant annuals like petunias and marigolds. They’ll bring color and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
• Refresh your mulch: A fresh layer of mulch from Granite Landscape Center suppresses weeds and gives your beds a clean, polished look.
• Spruce up your entryway: Frame your front door with colorful container gardens filled with blooming flowers.

Summer: Keep your garden lush and inviting during the warmer months.

• Maintain your lawn: Regular mowing and watering are essential. Deep watering for longer periods of time will ensure your lawn grows strong roots to sustain color during the summer.
• Add height and texture: Incorporate ornamental grasses for movement and visual interest. Consider decorative elements like bird baths or feeders to help pollinators thrive during the height of Utah’s summer temperatures.
• Create a focal point: A striking water feature or a unique sculpture can draw the eye and add personality.

Autumn: Embrace the beauty of the changing season.

• Plant fall foliage: In anticipation of a vibrant, colorful autumn, plant maples, oaks, and dogwoods offer stunning color.
• Incorporate seasonal décor: Pumpkins, gourds, and corn stalks create a festive atmosphere.
• Edge your garden beds: Give your garden a crisp, clean look for the winter months.

Winter: Even in the colder months, you can maintain a welcoming entrance.

• Add evergreen interest: Plant conifers or boxwoods for year-round greenery.
• Install outdoor lighting: Pathway lights and spotlights create a warm and inviting ambiance.
• Don't forget the hardscaping: A well-maintained walkway or patio adds visual appeal even when the garden is dormant.
