Watch as BHG shares tips on landscape designs for your patio. First, incorporate colorful container gardens or potted plants. This adds softness and color to your backyard landscaping. Second, create privacy in your patio design by planting around the edges. Try leafy plants, small trees, or a trellis to help muffle sounds and create a barrier. Third, add a water feature such as a water fountain, bubbler, or still pond. This creates movement in your landscape design and attracts birds. Also, try planting with small shrubs, colorful flowers, or herbs creates a cohesive look. Finally, add an overhead element to your landscape design plans. Plant a small tree or build an overhead pergola to create your own outdoor room.
