Spring Landscaping

When consulting with a client about their future aspirations for a house there is often a large focus on the interior and exterior look and design. But when they are asked about landscaping plans for their back and front yard it can yield a puzzling look. The truth is your front and back yards are just as big of an important part to their living area as the interior of their home. Here are some ways to maximize the look of your outdoor space:

Don’t let it be an afterthought: Incorporating your exterior space into the overall image of your home in the initial plans allows for you to get the perfect match between your landscape and your home. It also can be cost effective allowing your contractor to be able to combine services such as excavation, stone work, electrical, and plumbing.

Think towards the future: Although you will have to extra costs (such as allowing for ground settlement) that may make building your ultimate landscape unavailable initially, incorporating key elements of the basic design such as barbecue, gazebo, pool, or sunroom allows you to take the steps to prepare for those additions later on. This can also help you minimize your future costs.

Contractor Communication: Talk with your contractor about your landscaping options. Their prior history will often allow them to give you more options than you might have thought possible. This can not only save you money but make your landscaping dreams an even bigger reality. It will also help you understand the process that is involved with the landscapes development and how it will affect the project as a whole.

All three of these points are a great way to ensure that your property’s outside reflects how it looks on the inside. Don’t run the chance of this not happening, talk to us today to see how you can make the beauty inside your home be reflected in its exterior.
