southwest lawn decor
Southwest lawn decor only slightly differs from garden decor offered all around the world. In the Southwest, lawn decor can take the actual forms of local features, such as cactus and its unique and interesting formations or the local animal populations. Otherwise, many of the same items appearing “back East”, such as wind-driven flags, whirligigs, weather vanes and the like all pertain equally here.
Of note and a caveat of sorts is to remember the overwhelming more sunlight and the resultant exposure to UV rays of the Southwest versus almost any other area. Sunlit days are wonderful things, full of vitamin D and the blissful blooms of never-ending flowers. On the negative side of things, such sunlight can wash color out of fabric in an amazing fast time. I suggest extreme care be taken in protecting articles of lawn decor from the effects of prolonged and quite brutal exposure to an astounding amount and ferocity of sunlight and its attendant harm.
Finally, inasmuch as lawns are such a gorgeous contrast to the heat of Summers in the Southwest, Southwest lawn decor will undou8btelt want to mimic the more “cool” colors and tendencies of the lawn itself. There was no mystery at the brilliant azure blues of Muslim Temples in the Middle East, where the weather is quite similar. Those gorgeous deep blues and greens provide visual relief and a felt contrast to the unending sunlight.
