Everyone has heard of Pinterest at least once in their life. It has grown to become one of the most used social media platforms in existence. It serves as a visual discovery tool, helping you find ideas related to every category imaginable, from recipes, home décor, lifestyle, travel, and much more.
In the search bar, you can type in the inspiration you’re looking for: backyard landscape design, patio ideas, swimming pool designs, etc. Thousands upon thousands of pictures, called Pins, will surface. When you discover Pins you love, save them to your boards, which are essentially albums, to keep your ideas organized and easy to find.
Your home feed is where you will lose countless of hours scrolling. Pinterest’s algorithm displays Pins on this feed that it thinks you’ll enjoy based on what you’ve liked in the past. The feed also shows Pins from the people, topics, and boards you choose to follow.
You can visit our Pinterest profile if you’re looking for inspiration regarding landscape design. Our boards vary from outdoor kitchen designs to driveway landscaping ideas and everything in between!
