LANDSCAPE DESIGN OPTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS

23 Nov 2011


Making your home reflect your personality and your use needs is very important. Landscape design is an essential component of achieving that goal.



Making your home reflect your personality and your use needs is very important. Landscape design is an essential component of achieving that goal. Of course, homeowners need to know a bit more about what landscape design options are available, how they can benefit them and what to look for in a landscaping service.

Level It Out with Landscape Design

Often, yards are not flat. Hills are unavoidable in many situations. The problem here is that a sloping yard is not an ideal place for kids to play, or even for individuals who want to spend time outdoors in a garden. Landscape design experts can provide you with options for leveling your yard without reducing usability.
For instance, a landscape design firm might suggest grading the yard up to a certain point and then installing a retaining wall with stair access. This provides a flat, level area for any type of use (from impromptu soccer games to creating lavish flower gardens) and maximizes the use of your yard. In addition, retaining walls can often be built to reflect your architectural style or the look that you want to reflect in your yard by using specific construction materials and methods.

Landscape Design for Families

Parents with children want their kids to be able to spend time outdoors. However, if there’s nothing to do outside, you’ll likely find that the kids would prefer to be indoors. Landscape design experts can help you create an ideal yard for kids of any age. For instance, custom playgrounds and play areas can easily be built to suit your children. Other landscape design options include the installation of a swimming pool, an area where your kids can play soccer or baseball, or even tree houses if you prefer.

Landscape Design for Estates

For large estates, the right landscape design is essential. Working with an expert planner, designer and architect can help ensure that you are able to create a beautiful, expansive area. You’re not limited to formal gardens and hedges, though. Modern landscape design options extend to almost any style you might want, from relaxed and “country” to immaculately manicured English gardens and everything in between. The key is to work with the right expert who specializes in landscaping service and design. Not all landscapers are capable of creating your dream environment, either, so it pays to do your research before choosing any firm for the job.
