Details Matter: Improve Your Yard With These 5 Features

If you want your front or backyard to be your own personal oasis all year long, you’ll need to do some work. You may be past the pit of dirt that was there when you first moved in (or you may not be — we’re not judging), but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn up the glam factor and cultivate your own space that lets you spend time outdoors with friends and family.

If you’re looking for simple ways to improve your front or backyard, then you should hire a landscape designer. In today’s blog, we’ve covered five different features that a professional landscape contractor could add to your yard to make it just as beautiful as you dream it to be. If you’re ready for residential landscape design, contact us today. We’ll help you transform your home into a space where you want to spend your time.

Water Feature

Perhaps you’ve envisioned a gentle stream running through your backyard, a pond full of fish, or even a fountain in your front yard. By having a local landscaping company install a water feature on your property, you’ll increase your property value and make your time in your yard more enjoyable. Who doesn’t love the sound of water after a long, hard day at work?

Irrigation Services

Irrigation services may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of landscape design, but think about it: you’ll have your residential sprinkler system set up just right, and watering your plants and grass will be easier than ever. You’ll have a lush, vibrant yard with minimal effort on your part.

Hardscape

When you invest in a hardscape for your property, you’ll benefit from having a more enjoyable space. Sure, your chairs on the grass are working OK. But think about having a professional patio, deck, or other hardscape that will make spending time and entertaining outdoors easier.

Outdoor Kitchen

Cooking your dinner outside with friends, family, and pets nearby sounds like the dream, right? It’s possible with basic landscape architecture. Your local landscaper can create the outdoor kitchen that you’ve been creating in your mind and on your Pinterest page. Entertaining outside will never be easier than it will be with this residential landscape design.

Horticultural Design

Simply adding some flowers and plants here and there can make a large difference in your home and yard’s appearance. Though you may enjoy gardening and planting yourself, don’t be afraid to hire a local landscaper to do it for you. This will free up your time, ensure you use local plants that will thrive, and add more cohesion to your landscape design. Then all you have to do is prune and water!
