HardScaping

Hardscaping is a great way to enhance your property. It provides definition and organization in otherwise free form, natural areas.

Small details can have a big impact in your outdoor environment, especially as a sophisticated extension of your home’s architectural design. Choose from a variety of materials that best compliment your style including stone, wood, gravel or concrete.

Stone Walkways Or Gravel Paths

Pergolas or Gazebos

Landscaping Lighting

Landscape lighting is a great way to highlight the natural beauty of your home and grounds.

With outdoor lighting, less is sometimes more. The interactions and contrast between highlights and shadow provide interest and drama. Meanwhile, gathering spaces may warrant brighter, more concentrated light. As a side benefit, introducing light to dark areas helps make paths and stairs safer and improves security against intruders.

Approaches To Outdoor Lighting

What features do you want to highlight? What kind of lighting gives the right effect? Here are just a few ways to create a mood.

Up Light

A great way to accent architectural details. Can also be used to provide substantial light to entertaining places or to highlight decorative trees and hardscaping.

Silhouette

This effect works best when a light source is placed behind a plant or object with a dramatic shape.

Shadow

Unlike silhouette, your light source is placed in front of your plant or object, which projects a shadow onto a surface behind it.

Softscaping

The vegetation that makes up your overall landscape should be designed to impart a natural feeling of harmony and balance.

Create An Outdoor Sanctuary

Establishing an aesthetic through vegetation takes planning and experience, but there are some essential guidelines we apply for success.

Aim for symmetry and balance

Aim for symmetry and balance. Keep in mind plant and tree height. Having tall plants on one side and short on the other will make the space look lopsided. Try evenly dispersing plants, small trees and shrubs so they feel balanced.

Color coordinate

You can find lots of color palette inspiration online, in books and magazines. A well thought out color scheme can really make your environment come alive.

Choose plants with year-round interest

From color changing leaves to charismatic seed-heads, lots of plants maintain interest throughout all seasons.

Create a habitat for birds, bees and butterflies

When you choose bird and pollinator-friendly plantings, you’ll be rewarded with a natural oasis that also benefits the environment.

Native plants give the best results

It makes sense that plants that naturally grow in your area tend to be hardier and thrive better. Plus, you don’t risk adding an invasive species!
