Backyard Landscaping Ideas

Video Transcript

Backyard landscape design is challenging, so if you are feeling a little overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin, you are not alone. Our consultation and design process will personalize this experience to your lifestyle and the logistics of your site. Our process moves seamlessly into the construction phase, all with the same management team, so you can trust your vision is in good hands.

A good place to begin a discussion is to determine what your primary theme or purpose for your backyard landscaping will be. Perhaps it will be activity focused, so you would like to incorporate a play space, or a putting green or a swimming pool.

For some people the primary purpose is for the space to be beautiful looking out from inside the home.

Entertaining and lounging are popular focuses that often tie in well with other objectives. In this theme a deck or patio space or perhaps a specific seating or dining arrangement is desired.

Features such as fire pits or fireplaces play well in these areas as focal points to gather around.

Natural spaces including water features are important for some clients. Of course, taking into account the natural attributes of the site, like a view or a slope, are important primary considerations as well.

Once we have established these larger concepts we can dive deeper into the process, but a good start is to play with the possibilities and get you on your way to a backyard you’ll be proud to show off.
