Use Plants to Warn Visitors of Tripping Points in Your Yard

If you have any spots in your yard where the surface goes from one level to like the edge of a deck—use plants to catch people's eye so they don't trip.

Sunset Magazine explains:

Tuck a small row of echeveria between an upper and lower patio to remind visitors to step up. Use larger succulents, such as the three kinds of aeonium pictured, to signal where the upper patio drops off.

While they mention specifically using succulents, you could use other types of plants that may suit your climate or yard design better. Just make sure they'll be visible during the seasons when you'll use your yard. For more ideas on how to landscape your yard or garden, check out the full post linked below.
