Landscaping is important for every home. Most people know that. They want their property to look nice, and they want their outdoors to be functional. But how is that achieved? It seems easy, but there are many steps to making it happen.
First come the ideas. Yes, you want your property to look great. But what does that mean? A great looking property is more than a manicured lawn, some bushes, and mulch. A well landscaped property is about the types of vegetation, where to place the plants and bushes, how they are maintained, and what types of vegetation complements your property the best.
Just as important as bushes, plants, flowers, and trees is the hardscaping. The hardscaping is how to enhance and get more functionality out of your yard with patios, walls, pool decks, walkways, and anything that is “hard”. Designing hardscape into your yard takes creativity and expertise.
Next comes the process. Many improvements can be implemented by the homeowner. Often times it requires a professional landscaper to make the landscape designers ideas a reality. Depending on the size and scope of the project, the first step can also require a land surveyor to ensure you are building within the boundaries of your property and according to code.
A well done landscape can add curb appeal, enjoyment, fire safety, safety from intruders, and so much other value. We are here to provide ideas for your journey to a well designed landscape.
