Landscape Design Tips and Ideas

Fine living is not in the high-priced properties and luxurious homes by award-winning

contractors. It is about having a distinct choice and a desire to have a cozy, unique landscape

within affordable options. Affordability and customization matters a lot when it comes to

designing a home, otherwise things like home renovation and landscaping will only be

restricted to the high and mighty people in the society.

Transform your Home by Landscaping

Landscaping is not just done for enhancing the look of your property and increasing its real

estate value, it has functionality too. Many contractors make custom built landscape designs to

suit the client’s budget, his requirement, property size, etc. the following tips and ideas will help

you decide what kind of renovation you would like to have done.

Pathway to the Door: A rustic or ancient kind of pathway starting from the main

entrance of the property and leading all the way to the door of the house is forever in.

Irrespective of whether you are fond of traditional or trendy look for your home this idea

of having a pathway made of stones or bricks is sure to draw attention.

Lawn with Earthen Ware: There’s something about rural and countryside look when it

comes to the coziness quotient of a residence. You can have a small lawn if your

verandah or garden area in the front of your home is not very big and place medium sized

earthen ware (preferably handicraft) in the corners. You may even arrange for lighting it

up from within via electrical bulbs.

Create a Different Landmass: Stones and gravels add a rugged yet spa-like look to a

property. You can choose from a variety of size, texture and colors in gravel. Small,

white, marble-like, shiny stones can add glamour to the premise when there’s a lamppost

just above it. You can also have small plants like cactus in sandy land.

Small Garden Fountains: I am talking about cute, small fountains made of white stone

placed at the center of the garden or a small pond where you can grow lotus flowers too.

These add class when placed appropriately in the garden; else it can mar the look. Expert

landscaping contractors will know how to go about installing it.

Trees to Soundproof: Functional reasons of having trees in your yard are soundproofing,

increasing privacy, making the environment cooler and fresher, possibility of having a

swing hung from one of its branches for the kids to play, or build a tree house may be,

etc.

Pergola or Arbor: If gardening is your hobby then you can turn your kitchen garden into

a delightful place for having evening tea under a covered pergola. If you have a mansion

like building then arbor is the ideal choice for your driveway.

The options for landscaping designs can go on because of the varied customization options

available but one needs to plan the budget and the look he or she wants for the home. Also keep

in mind the possibility of renovating outdoors with structures like patio, deck, cabana, etc. so that

it blends well with the theme.
