Love Your Landscape

Here are several ways to create more curb appeal, outdoor living enjoyment and property value to your home by adding different outdoor landscape features. After living in your home for 10-20 years, outdoor projects can freshen-up and enhance your entire home environment.

Redo your lawn:Is your lawn worn and weed-filled? By simply removing old grass and bringing in new topsoil and re-grading uneven places, it makes a huge difference.  New turf will restore the look, feel and beauty of your lawn areas!

Redesign your front entry:Adding new shrubs or trees, adding half walls, pavers, water features, pillars and outdoor lighting are easy ways to add interest to your front entry and may also boost your property value.

New paver patio: If your deck is cracking, rotting or splitting apart, pavers are a great replacement option. Pavers create a timeless look and come in many colors and shapes to help create the perfect new outdoor sitting and entertainment areas that add  beauty and functionality to your home.

 Outdoor lighting: Nothing beats attractive outdoor lighting to create warm, definable outdoor night time spaces. Using traditional low voltage lighting is a good option as is new LED outdoor lighting, which is becoming more and more affordable.

Outdoor fire pit or fire place:Create the feel of camping and sitting around a warm fire with new stand-up fire places made of stone-like material. These fire places come in many color choices and sizes and are a great way to add enjoyment to your landscape.
