Mailbox Landscaping Ideas And Corner Landscaping Ideas

By Darren Hartley


The enhancement of the curb appeal of the front yard is the reason for mailbox landscaping ideas. Plants that will fit a garden situated around a mailbox include drought-tolerant sedum, showy California poppy, iris, fragrant rosemary and yellow coreopsis mixed with colourful purple petunias and verbena.

Mailbox landscaping ideas include the growing of a small vine that reaches up to the post of the mailbox. Such vines would include clematis. Accent may be provided by a variety of no fuss perennials. Such perennials would include yarrow, salvia, lavender and ornamental grasses.

The creation of a collage look is one of the mailbox landscaping ideas worth looking into. In an instant, the front yard is made more welcoming and approachable by a mailbox surrounded with flowers. A lush but relaxed appearance, characteristic of a cottage garden style, is provided by the combination of easy going plant varieties.

A backyard corner that is empty and unused is the perfect spot for integrating corner landscaping ideas. It makes for an ideal location for a flower garden. Because corners avoid the main traffic patterns in a yard, the flowers are left safe in this corner location.

Corner landscaping ideas put into action in a dull backyard corner dresses up the location with the splash of color flowering plants provide. Interest to the location is created with the addition of flowering plants of different heights. Other than creating a visual border, a decorative fence placed along the back sides of the flower garden is sure to add depth and design to the area.

Corner landscaping ideas call for seasonal displays. A holiday light display will work well for the winter months. Spring or summer will do well with colourful flowers. Other than a large container acting as a repository for these seasonal displays, wooden or metal yard ornaments relate to any season and are therefore provide for additional options.
