Check out our practical and inspiring tips and tricks to design your very own backyard lounge area.

Following a few late snowstorms, spring (finally!) seems to be knocking at our doors. For a lot of us, the arrival of warmer weather almost always means setting up our deck, patio, balcony, or whatever outdoor space we may have. Whether you just recently moved into a new home or have been living in the same house for years, spring means enjoying the outdoors. Hence your outdoor space automatically turns into an extension of your home, making for a second living room or lounge area.

<h2>Your landscaping project</h2>

<h3>Landscaping: natural beauty</h3>

Contributing to the beauty of your property, landscaping is the perfect complement to the architecture and style of the home. With this in mind, planning is needed to create an outdoor space that you and your guests can enjoy.

The integration of plants, a nice place to eat, as well as various elements such as a pond or a pergola will contribute to the establishment of an idyllic development. Shapes and colours will add playfulness and originality to your yard as they capture the attention of all those who will visit your property.

Landscaping is also a glimpse of all the potential that is offered by the interior of your home. Whether it's through the integration of indoor plants in your living room or potted herbs in your kitchen, the possibilities are endless.

<h4>Set up a flower bed</h4>

Their position in the yard will also need to be carefully thought out so that all of them get what they need to thrive.

What about the soil for your flower beds? It should be stripped of any unwanted weeds that enter the soil and be fertilized to provide a suitable environment for plant growth.

Annual or perennial? This is one more question that must be answered to create a layout that meets your expectations in terms of aesthetics as well as maintenance.

Need more information on your flower beds? Read our article <a href="https://ssr.sednove.com/en/tips-arrange-flowerbeds-garden">5 tips for arranging your flower beds</a>.

<h3>The ideal plants to block insects</h3>

Although beneficial to our ecosystem, insects can sometimes cause serious damage to plants and ruin all our efforts as dedicated gardeners. It is therefore interesting to know that some plants are good for warding off insects.

Among them are herbs such as mint, rosemary, oregano and basil that will enhance your meals while keeping your outdoors looking beautiful.

<h3>Lacking a green thumb? Call a professional.</h3>

You can certainly call in a landscaping professional to take charge of your project and offer design ideas that will suit your preferences.

Not only will they be able to choose the plants which will shine with all their grace in your backyard, but they will also be able to install your paved stone or your retaining walls.

Landscapers are also able to take care of this type of work, which is complementary to those that are more focused on horticulture.

Avoiding unforeseen setbacks, a professional landscaper will find the best layout plan based on your needs and budget.
