Homeowners often approach us for comprehensive landscape design solutions. However, we also cater to those looking for smaller-scale projects to spruce up their outdoor areas.
These minor yet impactful landscape upgrades aim to both beautify your outdoor space and make it more functional. As experts in landscape design and installation, we tailor these enhancements to align with your vision and complement your existing landscape.
Here are five simple yet impactful upgrades you might want to consider for your outdoor space.
1. Illuminate with LED Landscape Lighting
Struggling with dimly lit pathways or steps that become hazardous after sunset?
LED landscape lighting can be your solution. Not only does it light up dark corners, ensuring safety for you and your guests, but it also accentuates your home's architectural features. Plus, LED lights are low-maintenance and add a touch of elegance to your outdoor setting.
2. Beautify with Native Plants
Do you have neglected areas in your yard due to rocky terrain or steep slopes?
Planting native shrubs or flowers can revitalize these spaces. Native plants not only add color and texture but also help in soil stabilization and support local ecosystems. This is particularly beneficial for sloping areas or regions with heavy rainfall.
3. Add Tranquility with Water Features
Whether you're aiming for a backyard entertainment zone or a peaceful sanctuary, water features can help you achieve your goal.
From standalone fountains to cascading waterfalls that flow into a pond, water features serve multiple purposes. They mask ambient noise, attract local wildlife, and offer a cooling effect during hot summer days.
4. Maintain with Pruning
Overgrown trees and shrubs can make your landscape look untidy and can also pose health risks to the plants.
Pruning, ideally done in late fall to minimize plant stress, is essential for both aesthetic and safety reasons. It not only shapes the plants for visual appeal but also makes them more resilient to storms and less prone to disease.
5. Enhance with Hardscaping
Already have a paver patio but looking for that extra oomph? Consider adding a firepit or a seating wall.
These hardscaping elements not only serve as functional additions but also act as focal points in your outdoor space. From firepits to grill stations, hardscaping can make your outdoor area more inviting and convenient.
