Essential Landscaping Tips For Trampolines

SO YOU PURCHASED A TRAMPOLINE. You’d like to create a fun outdoor experience, but you still want it to look great in your yard. A trampoline can take up a large amount of space, especially if you have a small yard, but you can still make the area look great with the right landscaping. Here are a few trampoline landscaping ideas to transform your trampoline area.

When people get a trampoline a lot of times they place it in the middle of their backyard. These might seem like the logical place to put it, but when your trampoline is in the center of the yard, it’s more difficult to landscape around it. The first tip for landscaping is to place it in a good location.

Place it on level ground

Because a trampoline needs to be on level ground, this might mean you need to level off an area of your yard. Placing your trampoline in the corner of your yard, or along an already landscaped area will allow you to landscape around it.

Choose a safe location

Things to keep in mind. Before you can consider how you want to landscape around your trampoline, you must be sure it’s in a safe location. You don’t want to place a trampoline on or near concrete, trees, or bushes. It’s also not a good idea to place a trampoline next to a pool. The area around the trampoline should be grass, sand, or rubber mulch to prevent injuries. Wood mulch or gravel is fine to use underneath the trampoline. This will keep grass or weeds from growing underneath the trampoline, but consider putting a safety net around the trampoline if you decide to use a material that isn’t soft.

Create a path

You may want the area directly surrounding the trampoline to be something other than grass. Because of foot traffic, any grass around the trampoline may get damaged. Creating a path to the trampoline can keep the area looking great, This not only reduces the foot traffic, it makes your yard look more attractive. You can create a bordered path with wood chips or mulch, or use stepping stones.

Plant shrubs or plants

Other trampoline landscaping ideas include using plants and shrubs around your trampoline.  Separate your trampoline from the rest of your yard, by creating a recreation area. Plant shrubs, hedges, or flowers around the trampoline area. You don’t want these to be too close to the trampoline, but consider adding them on one side of your trampoline to act as a border. Or, you can plant flowers on the inside section of a pathway. You can even add shrubs or plants underneath your trampoline, provided they don’t need a lot of sunlight to grow.
