Specially Chosen and Installed Plantings
There’s a big difference between a landscape that has the usual mix of shrubs in planting beds versus a landscape that specifically uses plantings—in terms of their location and selection—more strategically. Rustic looking masonry planters can look even more beautiful with flowers spilling over the sides. Climbing vines can help to make a newly built pergola appear as if it has always belonged in your landscape, amid nature.
Outdoor Entertainment Space Options
A designated entertainment space in your backyard can make hosting a lot more convenient while securing you many affirmative RSVPs to your outdoor parties. An outdoor kitchen would keep the cooking and all of its scents outside while the fire pit can put different mixes of people at ease. If the conversation gets dull, they can simply admire the gas-fueled dance of the flames. When your landscape design is implemented, these features may become your favorite aspects of your home—yet you may not have considered them initially when starting the landscape transformation process.
A New Paver Walkway
A beautiful landscape design would be incomplete without a beautiful walkway to connect various outdoor living areas. Your landscape contractor can build a paver walkway from your front yard to your side yard or backyard to connect the two landscape locations. Choose modern style pavers to match nicely with your new outdoor kitchen’s walls or keep it classic with pavers of subtle colors and shapes. The same style and color of paver for the accent pavers that are used for the patio could help to visually connect your beautiful landscape features.
Outdoor Lighting
You may have the outdoor structures, such as a new pergola and paver patio, built on your property, but you’re still looking for that one final feature to bring it all together. It may be that you’re missing the right outdoor lighting for a lovely visual, or any type of lighting for that matter. You can add outdoor lights to your front door entryway to invite guests in or include retaining wall lighting on the masonry structure that separates your land from the roadway.
Consider a Relaxing Water Feature
The addition of a waterfall, water fountain, or pond will create a beautiful visual and add a calming landscape feature to your property. You can even connect certain water features to your pool so this aspect of your yard can be enjoyed during long swims and lounging time on the pool patio.
