Southwestern Lawn Decorations

Southwestern lawn decor tends to have a rustic appearance.


Southwestern landscaping is influenced by its dessert surroundings. Water-conserving plants, gravel and stone are often used in this dry climate, and lawn d cor tends to have a rustic, unfinished look.


Garden D cor


Cactus gardens and rock gardens are often part of southwestern landscaping. Although it may seem simple, groupings of rocks and stones are frequently used to decorate yards. If you really want an Old West feel, place a bleached cow skull amongst the rocks.


Metal Lawn Ornaments


Metal lawn ornaments are common lawn decorations. They may be placed in the lawn or garden or amongst the rocks. Popular themes are cactus, iguanas, coyotes, cowboys, horses and armadillos.


Other Lawn Accessories


Unfinished wood is frequently used in southwestern d cor. Place a wood bench in the garden amongst the stones. Kiva ladders are wood ladders that are often placed up against the house. Other lawn decorations include wagon wheels, rustic gates and earthen pottery.
