Landscape to show off your new remodel! New big windows, new deck, or awesome new paint? Design your Landscaping to show it off. For windows, choose plants that are not too tall or that frame the window well – the right plant can also improve looking out from the window. For paint, get the right color that either complements what you have already painted, or something else entirely, that will show a more bold, original new look. As for the deck, make sure to pressure wash correctly, starting with having the right nozzle & tip size as well as keeping sensitive objects, like cars, out of the way of the pressure.
For new paint, choose a colorful flower or bush that makes the new house color pop! What style is your home? Research styles of Landscaping to increase the aesthetic of your home & play with combinations. Cottage style homes usually have a quaint & groomed lawn, but what about a natural garden full of diverse plants & flowers to add dimension & fun? All this & more can be done when you first sit down, brainstorm, & then count the cost. How would you like your home to look like? It's all up to you & the style you're going for!
If you are considering upgrading the landscaping your home there are a few things to consider, low maintenance, curb appeal & a more livable space for entertaining & outdoor cooking. By following these trends you will add value to your home either for your enjoyment to sell the home.
Build for livability
Backyard living spaces are becoming more very important, adding an outdoor kitchen, comfortable seating spaces & lighting will be very inviting to your family & guests. Another item to consider is a fire pit, this will help encourage relaxed conversation & allow you to sit out on a cool evening
Increase Curb Appeal:
Adding unique touches to the exterior of your home will boost the curb appeal & help your home stand out. The easiest way to achieve this is to paint your front door, pick a color that is different from the other doors in the neighborhood, a bright, cheery inviting color. Another thing you may do is refresh your mailbox, clean it up, paint it or put it on a post. Outdoor lighting will help to improve the curb appeal in the evening, clean up your existing fixtures & add solar lighting along the driveway & entrance will help invite guests to your home.
Target Low Maintenance:
There are a few techniques to having a beautiful landscape with low maintenance. You may want to reduce the size of your lawn area, or replace with ornamental grass like sedge (which survives with little water & mowing). Low maintenance shrubs will also cut down on the time maintaining the yard. Add hardscape with rock paths or extending the driveway. Installing some flower beds will add color & reduce the lawn mowing.
When planning a landscaping project you should decide how much time & money you want to put into the project. If you spruce up with a few minor changes it should cost less than $5,000, but if you decide to go with many projects or a large project it may cost up $15,000. How you choose to your landscaping, hopefully these ideas will help you along the way.
Is it better to mow or edge first?
If you have a mower with a bag for clippings, it is better to edge before you mow. This way, you can catch clippings on the mower pass instead of leaving a mess or having to clean up the edge clippings by hand.
