Mailbox And Corner Landscaping Ideas

By Darren Hartley


A supplementation to the curb appeal of a front yard is the primary objective for mailbox landscaping ideas. When planting around a mailbox, plant varieties that hold up to the summer heat must be looked for. For homeowners living in an area that sees much snow, plants must hold up to winter salt.

Curb appeal adding 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.

Small water features as corner landscaping ideas add a decorative element to the backyard corner. Because of its location, the water feature will not be consuming a large portion of usable ground in the backyard. Water features that may be chosen include an in ground pond, a free standing fountain or a bird bath.

Seasonal displays are part and parcel of corner landscaping ideas. A large container can provide the perfect repository for the different decorative options provided by each season. A corn shock accentuated with pumpkins and gourds signals the coming of fall.
