Yard Coach COLOR CONTINUUM GUIDE: https://www.youryardcoach.com/continuous-color-guide
Does your yard look amazing for a few weeks… and then fade into a whole lot of green?
In this episode, Coach explains how to think like a landscape designer and build a true color continuum — a landscape where one plant hands the spotlight to the next from spring through fall.
You’ll learn why buying only what’s blooming at the garden center is one of the biggest DIY mistakes, how annuals should be used as fillers instead of the whole show, and why flowers are only one part of long-term landscape color.
Coach covers:
- How to plan color by season
- Why foliage, bark, texture, grasses, shrubs, and evergreens matter
- How to avoid the “two-week wonder” landscape
- The power of mass plantings and drifts
- Simple plant examples for spring, summer, late summer, fall, and winter interest
- How to build a stronger, more professional-looking landscape over time
If your yard feels flat after spring, this episode will help you start planning for color that lasts.
