Backyard Makeovers: Easy Upgrades for a Stunning Summer Landscape 🌿

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your backyard into a space you’ll love to relax, entertain, and soak up the season. At Town and Country Nursery, we believe you don’t need a massive overhaul to make a major impact. Sometimes, small upgrades deliver the biggest “wow” factor.

🌸 Containers that Pop

One of the fastest ways to bring vibrant color and life to your outdoor spaces is with custom-planted containers. Our expert-designed hanging baskets and container combos are ready to transform your porch, patio, or deck—just place, water, and enjoy!

Want to DIY? Visit our garden center and choose from Proven Winners plants, stunning annuals, and pollinator-friendly perennials. Don’t forget your Coast of Maine soils and Espoma fertilizers for the best blooms all summer long.

🌿 Border Plantings with Big Impact

Add depth and structure by refreshing the borders along your fence lines, walkways, or patios. Mixing heights—think low-spreading groundcovers, medium-height perennials, and statement shrubs—creates dimension and visual interest.

Our team can help you choose the right plants for sun or shade, and you’ll find options for every style, from formal to wild cottage garden.

Looking for instant impact? Try these quick wins:

  • Line your walkway with salvia or lavender for scent and color.

  • Create a low-maintenance native border using plants from our Plant a Pollinator program.

  • Anchor a corner with a hydrangea or knockout rose and surround it with blooming companions.

🪴 Pathway Accents & Decorative Touches

Sometimes it’s the finishing touches that make a backyard feel polished:

  • Add solar lights or garden stakes to pathways.

  • Use decorative mulch and edging to define planting zones.

  • Create focal points with statuary, birdbaths, or small fountains.

We also carry Jonathan Green lawn products to give your turf a lush, welcoming feel—perfect for showing off your garden’s new glow.
