Enticing outdoor spaces begin with the design. Our expert design team understands the elements that are required to achieve breathtaking, sustainable and low maintenance landscapes. The basic components of landscape design are color, form, line, scale, and texture. A thorough understanding of these five design elements are critical when designing hardscapes; such as patios and custom firepits, and softscapes; which include gardens, trees, shrubs and lawn areas.

Landscape Benefits
Financial
Numerous studies have quantified the financial benefits of landscape improvements. According to 2016 statistics from the National Association of Realtors® a well-landscaped home has a significant price advantage over a home with no landscaping. This advantage ranges from 5.5 percent to 12.7 percent depending on the type of landscaping and the home's original value. That translates into an extra $22,000 to $50,000 in value on a $400,000 property!
A beautiful landscape is an investment, much like remodeling a kitchen or bathroom. Your professionally designed landscape will bring years of pleasure to you and your family. According to the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers, a mature tree can add from $1,000 to $10,000 to the value of your home. Imagine getting an extra $10,000 in home value from one well-placed and mature tree! Over time, as your trees and shrubs grow, their value grows as well. Don’t delay making the decision to invest, as your landscape investment will certainly appreciate as the trees and shrubs mature.
Environmental
Trees, shrubs, and flowers create habitat and provide food for essential pollinators and beneficial insects, thus reducing the need for pesticides. Additionally, as described by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in an article on the benefits of a landscape to reduce storm runoff a well-designed and maintained home landscape reduces erosion, sediment losses, and storm runoff. As an example, a 5% increase in tree cover reduces erosion by 2%.
On a warm summer afternoon, relaxing in the shade of a tree and feeling the cool grass under your feet will tell you all you need to know about the cooling benefits of your landscape and the potential home energy savings.
Health and Community
Communities that prioritize parks and urban tree canopies have realized significant social benefits that have resulted in a quantifiable reduction in crime rates (Can Trees Actually Deter Crime?). Furthermore, children with access to safe play yards spend more time outside engaging in physical activity and less time indoors.
