When it comes to designing outdoor landscaping, there are many different design options available. If you want to spend a lot of time alone or use your garden as a place for quiet reflection and meditation, you can choose a minimalist or Eastern Zen-inspired landscape. You can create a colorful painting garden by filling it with several flowering plants of different hues, or you could design a lavender fantasy garden by using only your favorite color or flower. Your outdoor stairs also serve as a balancing element in the overall appearance. In addition to serving an aesthetic purpose, landscaping stairs provide a practical one by guiding you and your guests to garden areas that might be blocked from view by tall plants. Below, we’ve rounded up our favorite garden stairs to inspire you for your own backyard transformation.
