Landscape Design Elements

Outdoor Design Ideas

Here are just some of the design elements to consider when planning the perfect outdoor living space:

Plantings — Our landscape designers will work with you to select the appropriate plantings for your property, including trees, shrubs, annuals, and perennials. We’ll make recommendations that complement your home, your preferences, and the local environment. For example, that could entail plants that are deer- and rabbit-proof, low-maintenance perennials, or heritage varieties.

Pergolas and trellises — These decorative features add shade and architectural interest to your garden.

Water features — Waterfalls, ponds, and fountains add natural, soothing sounds to any outdoor space and are key elements in naturescaping.

Landscape lighting — Installing lights gives your outdoor space a polished and professionally finished look — and lets you appreciate its beauty day and night! Spotlighting a specimen tree, lighting stairs and pathways, or illuminating a water feature adds warmth and dimension to your landscaping.

Retaining walls — Landscape masonry requires training and talent, both of which you’ll get with our crews. In fact, we have both Unilock and ICPI-certified installers who can build striking retaining walls from brick, block, and tumbled stone.

Paver patios, walkways, and driveways — Create an inviting extension to your home with a refined look that never goes out of style. Pavers come in a wide variety of colors and shapes, giving you endless options when it comes to designing a paver patio or path. And if you prefer the look (or price point) of cement, our concrete crew can take care of that too.
