5 Ways to Use Bamboo in Your Landscape

 

                                                


Bamboo is one of the most exotic and eco-friendly materials used in construction. Long associated with Asian cultures and design, this giant grass has been trending for the last few years, especially in flooring. It is strong, beautiful, and thanks to speedy growth, an economical choice for consumers and a renewable resource for producers. Outdoors, there are countless ways you can use bamboo to stunning effect, and here are five ideas to help you envision bamboo landscaping possibilities for your property.

1. EDGING

                                       


The varying heights of the bamboo posts in this edging installation give the garden path a timeless, natural look. Who wouldn’t want to enjoy a zen-infused stroll along these step stones?

2. FENCING

                                    


Living bamboo forms a beautiful natural divider, but that may be more than you’d like to maintain. For you, a garden fence of bamboo may be the ticket. Compared to other wood fencing materials, termite-resistant bamboo is highly durable.

3. WALKWAY

                                               


Bamboo is strong enough to support steady foot traffic, and it makes a handsome natural walkway—even (or especially) in the context of modern architecture, as exemplified in the above photo.


4. TRELLIS

                                               


A wall-mounted bamboo trellis makes an organic, attractive support on which other plantings can grow and flourish. Break out the honeysuckle and clematis!


5. IN A PLANTER

                                                 


Though bamboo can be controlled, many varieties require diligent maintenance. If growing bamboo in your garden or yard seems too confounding, why not try planting in containers?


There are so many ways to exhibit the beauty of bamboo in landscaping. Whether it’s in a trellis, a water feature, or a bench, bamboo can add a wistfulness and sense of serenity to almost any space. Find a place to feature it, and enjoy.

AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS

Image
Texture, form, size, and color are the physical characteristics of plants that provide interest, variety, and aesthetic appeal to a landscape. Besides being essential to life on our planet, plants add beauty and charm with their unique forms and color. Physical characteristics give each plant a distinct look and personality. Some plants are extroverts—loud, boisterous, and energetic attention-getters—while other plants are introverts—quiet, calm, and content to be in the background. A good mix of plant personalities creates an interesting and appealing garden.                                                                Some plants may have more value as a visual element in the landscape based on their physical characteristics.  The visual value describes the energy or impact of the plant in relation to its surroundings.  Some characteristics are more visually dominant and have a higher visual value, some are more functionally dominant, and some dominate simply by size.
