Addressing the Landscape Changes You Desire
Whether you have lived in your home for a while or it is new to you, some issues can prevent you from being able to use the outdoor living area in the ways that you want. A tree, for example, could be in the way of your big plans for your landscape. We addressed this issue when homeowners needed a central tree removed to open up their parking area.
A slope also presented a quandary for the homeowners on how to make their front entry space more attractive and usable. For a problematic driveway, some ingenuity and expertise is required to not only address changes in elevation but create solutions, such as a modern, beautiful retaining wall that allows for new planting bed opportunities. Fresh ideas and expertise about quality materials can open up new possibilities for more usable space in all areas of your landscape.
The great news is that every landscape issue has a workable solution!
Solutions for Outdoor Living Areas
Driveways: For a driveway that is not level, erosion issues may need to be addressed and a new approach to your home may need to be devised, a way that is more straightforward and easy to navigate. If icy conditions in the winter have made the driveway particularly troublesome, you may want to consider permeable pavers as your driveway is re-created. By minimizing pools of water on the surface, ice becomes less of an issue with permeable pavers and so does the risk of slips or falls.
Retaining wall: With the installation of a versatile retaining wall that can be anchored with your home’s exterior, this can resolve the slope that has prevented a safe and durable access from the front of the house to the back deck. A tiered effect could lead to increased planting space and add to the beautiful landscape aesthetic. Steps that complement the material used for the retaining wall provide flexibility and a unified aesthetic across the landscape.
Outdoor lighting: Your landscape designer can incorporate strategic lighting to your outdoor area, with the plan addressing the lighting needs of the driveway, retaining walls, steps, deck, and home to allow for more time spent outside on a lovely evening. With the added illumination, these outdoor spaces can function in the same way as the interior living spaces—as more serviceable living space but with the advantage of nighttime access.
Deck: Your landscaper can help you picture the many gatherings in your future once your outdoor living space is complete. A fire pit that fits your style and convenience needs (gas can be an option) could be the best part of your new lounging area. The proper arrangement of comfy furniture that fits with the rest of your landscape design’s aesthetic sets the stage for entertaining, and takes the thinking out of wondering how to fill all the open space. Your landscape service can advise on the best furnishings to highlight the fresh transformation of your property. When this is done, all that is left is to head outside and enjoy the new living areas.
