Cleaning Up Your Own Backyard

3 Landscaping Projects To Consider When Planning A Backyard Wedding

by Warren Garcia

Hosting a wedding in your backyard can be a great way to get married frugally, while still having the wedding of your dreams. Since you'll have access to the backyard for months before the wedding, there's a lot of opportunities to make improvements so that your wedding venue looks as great as possible.

If you're unsure of what kind of landscaping to take care of before the date of the wedding arrives, consider the following projects that can make a big impact in how the yard looks and how well suited it is for a wedding.

Paving to Provide a Gathering Space

Depending on the size of your yard, you may be intending on having the ceremony outside, as well as part of the reception. While you may be comfortable with walking on grass most of the time, it may not be ideal when you have a lot of guests wearing formal wear. With this in mind, it's a good idea to incorporate more paving so that there can be a proper space to walk on without the risk of stepping on mud.

The paving can also be a great centerpiece for catering tables and even a dance floor. Making sure that the paving will be suitable even after the wedding is over is also important since you want to be able to enjoy your yard for years to come.

Tree Maintenance to Cut Down Extra Limbs

As you look into projects you can Implement that will change the way the yard looks, it's a good idea to consider getting some tree maintenance done. Bringing a professional to look at your trees can help you determine whether some of them are overgrown and need some trimming to be done. When your tree becomes too full, there's always the risk of branches snapping off and becoming a hazard.

Getting rid of this problem well before the day of the wedding arrives can ensure that you won't need to be worried about branches snapping off.

Add Color with New Flowers and Shrubs

When checking out different ways to improve your yard, you likely have come across wanting to add more color. Since you likely have specific colors you've chosen for your wedding, it's a good idea to look into picking flowers that match your wedding theme. Picking a similar style of flowers and shrubs can make your yard feel personalized for your wedding and give you a more vibrant space once the wedding is complete.

When you're planning a wedding to be held in your backyard, you need to consider the above projects and the impact that they can make in your yard. Knowing what kinds of changes need to be done and when to bring a professional can make sure that you get the best results possible and have the backyard ready to impress.
