The Colorful Yard: Falmouth Landscape Design
“I love color,” Brenda said with a laugh. “You can probably guess that from my wardrobe.” The flamboyantly dressed Brenda lives in the Falmouth area, where she recently purchased a property. “Inside, all my furniture, the carpeting, the artwork on the walls – all very colorful. But you get out here, into the yard…” she waved her hand and sighed. “It’s just so blah. I mean, it all looks healthy and green, but nothing pops out and delights the eye. Nothing captures my imagination.”
“I know flowers would help, but I really don’t have a green thumb,” Brenda said. “I can paint flowers. I can’t grow them. That’s why I called in a landscape contractor.” Working together with her contractor, Brenda created a plan that included colorful, hardy plantings that require very little maintenance. “We also did some masonry pieces,” Brenda said. “People hear masonry and think all this grey concrete, but it’s so much more than that. There are really colorful building stones available, and we worked those into a seating area and my amazing outdoor kitchen.”
Working with a landscape contractor can transform your yard from blah to beautiful very quickly. “I am not the most patient person you ever met,” Brenda confessed. “I don’t like waiting for anything. But this experience was very quick. We spent some time creating the plan, but then it was one-two-three, here you go! There’s colors everywhere I look, and the trees have been selected to ensure we’ll have something vibrant to look at even after the snow starts flying. I’m really happy with the whole look now!”
