Welcome to another installment of Ask a Pro! Today we are talking to Dream Team member and outdoor design pro Carson Arthur! Let’s see what he was to say about jazzing up your backyard without breaking the bank!

Backyard Pizzazz

Q: My family and I love spending time in our backyard, but our yard is a little boring! What are some ways to inexpensively add a little pizzaz to our space?

-Karen W.

A:  Containers and planters are a great way to add some color and impact to both the front and backyard.  Try adding a pair of planters to each side of your back door or patio. If you’re worried about overcrowding, try using hanging baskets instead of containers. They add a lot of color and personality and take up less space. Both of these options are very easy to maintain, and affordable!
