Springtime is here, which makes now the perfect time to enliven up our backyards by adding a slash of color with a beautiful landscape. Here are some of our favorite tips for creating an at-home garden next to your hot tub from Dream Maker Spas:

Find the Right Types of Plants for Your Backyard

Pick some plants that will appreciate your backyard climate. If you head over to your local gardening center, you’ll find tags on some plants that like hanging out in the sun, and others that appreciate the shade. Make sure to inspect the amount of shade and sunlight in your backyard so that you can pick the right plants to create a lush and vibrant garden.

Pick out Some Color

You don’t have to be a gardening expert to pick out some colorful flowers. Head over to your local gardening center to pick out some pretty perennials; even if you don’t plant your seeds from scratch, your backyard is sure to still carry that wow factor for all of your guests! You can create levels of color by planting in flowerbeds on the ground, in pots and planters, and in the planters of your spa’s Deluxe Storage Steps and Planters Set. You can even place hanging baskets of flowers in the lower limbs of trees around your spa.

Add a Finishing Touch

Decorations aren’t just for the insides of our homes. Gardens can be the perfect place to infuse your personality. A few accent rocks or wind chimes can be a great touch to make your garden stand out. If you’re interested in wildlife, consider purchasing a bird feeder – you’ll be able to attract some local songbirds to your backyard for true living color.
