Backyard Landscape Designs - Some interesting ideas

We offer the following ideas for creating a landscape for Backyard Landscape Designs. The inspiration comes from natural designs from different parts of the world. Our ides also include the kind of plants to use and to maintain them.

Tropical Backyard: The tropical backyard is a composition of bright colors and various shapes which are caused by the bright tropical sunlight. If you want the tropical look for your landscape, you need brightly colored flowers of different shape. There should be plants with large leaves, branches with thorns, thick roots and creeping stems which are the signature of the tropical look. These plants, because of their origin, will need plenty of water. You will need to give the plants calm water that is either dripping, flowing or bubbling. You will have to be careful of bugs that may be harboring in the bright colored flowers. There are bugs that are not people friendly and you want to avoid them. A tropical back yard will also attract moths and butterflies.



Bamboo Backyard: Bamboo is a hardy plant that stays green forever. It is the favorite plant grown in temperate countries because bamboo does not change colors or lose its leaves during the autumn and winter. Bamboo is grass that is overgrown and will grow to be several feet high. If you plan a bamboo backyard, be sure to get a panda shaped rock to act as a reminder of these gentle creatures. When your bamboo has grown too big, you will not waste any of it by cutting it down. The cuttings can be easily sculpted to make small decorations or you can make chop sticks of them.

Bonsai Garden: Potted trees that are of miniature form are called Bonsai plants. The Bonsai plants originated in Japan. There are regular trees that have been genetically forced to become miniature in form when their roots were not allowed to expand. This forces them to become miniature in size and manageable. It is difficult to cultivate Bonsai plants but several of them in your backyard landscape can look beautiful. When you have mastered the art of Bonsai and planted them in your backyard landscape, walking among them will make you feel like a giant. Since the Bonsai are the same as their full sized relatives you may find some miniature fruit growing on the trees. You should learn about the maintenance of Bonsai and their need for regular watering. Their need for water is dependant upon where they originated. If they originated in the tropics, then they will need to be watered for frequently than those that originated in more temperate climates.



Cacti Backyard: The cactus is a plant that requires the least amount of water of all plants although they do need water. The cactus comes in many different shapes and sizes and some flower. They require a great deal of sunshine and a greenhouse to protect them in the wintertime. The cactus stores water inside it and the water will freeze in the winter and kill the plant.

These are only a few ideas for your small backyard landscape. You should not limit yourself and use the ideas that you have in your own mind. No matter what you have in mind for your small backyard landscape, its creation should be fun.
