 Landscape design is the conscious arrangement of outdoor
space for human enjoyment and satisfaction. A well-designed home landscape is
aesthetically pleasing and functional. It offers pleasure to the family,
enhances the neighborhood, and adds to the property's resale value. With a
little forethought and planning, you can organize your home site for maximum
use and pleasure, and create a visual relationship between the house, its site,
and the neighborhood.
The planning process, possibly the most
important aspect of Residential & Commercial landscaping, is often neglected. We frequently
see the evidence: a few scattered shade trees, overgrown foundation shrubs, a
narrow concrete walk, and a fenced-in backyard. The resulting landscape rarely
looks good, can be fairly expensive, and may not serve family needs. Good
planning can save you time, effort, and money and can lead to a much more
satisfying environment.
When you begin planning the landscape of
your home grounds, think about the entire space and the overall effect you want
to achieve. Don't limit your ideas to trees, shrubs, and grass. Consider a
patio, deck, mailbox, screening wall, outdoor lighting, a new walk, or a
parking area as possible landscape features.
A quality
landscape installation can beautify and increase the value of your home or
business property. Whatever your needs, Corner by Corner Landscapes can make it
happen.
