Landscaping
A well-designed
landscape is a pleasure to the family, enhances the
neighborhood and adds to the property's resale value.
Landscape design involves much more than placing trees,
shrubs and other plants on the property. It is an art
which deals with conscious arrangement or organization
of outdoor space for human satisfaction and enjoyment.
Two major goals include:
 Organizing and
developing the area for year-round beauty.
Establishing a
visual relationship between the house and the site.
A lot of money is wasted on landscaping because of
little or no planning. People typically landscape to
improves the appearance of their place; some like to
grow plants; still others just want their place to look
pretty. Too often these landscapes look good for a short
period of time, typically during Spring. So how does a
professional landscaper arrange space so that people
will find it useful, beautiful, meaningful and
functional all year?
Experience.
Knowledge of
regional plants and their needs for sun, water and types
of soil.
By analyzing
the ecology of the site including the view in and around
the site.
Seasonal changes separate landscape designs from other
arts. Most works of art such as architecture, sculpture
and painting look their best when new. Landscape
designs, however, should improve with age. A
well-designed landscape will seldom look the same over
time.
The temptation to begin planting immediately is almost
overwhelming. Whether you are landscaping a newly-built
home or redesigning an existing landscape, the results
will be much more satisfying if you consult a
professional landscaper.
