IMPORTANCE OF LAND SCAPE AND
LOCAL FRUIT TRESS IN YOU YARD
From a design perspective, landscaping provides flow and fluency from inside to out. It assists in adding function, form and style to the outdoor areas and helps harmonize your home as a whole.
Your yard is an extension of your home, and the role of landscaping in your new home construction is far more important than you may have imagined.
A well- designed landscape that considers the location, lot size, elevation and foundation of your property will add tremendous value, now and into the future.
A thorough analysis of the topography, soil type and micro-climate will help in determining which trees, plants and shrubs will thrive in your yard.
A comprehensive site inventory will help generate an accurate blueprint showing power lines, underground utilities, septic tanks, or roof overhangs. This will serve as the foundation for spatial planning while planting trees, creating vegetation beds or hardscaping elements such as driveways, sidewalks and patios.
An assessment of your lifestyle and needs will go a long way in designing an aesthetically pleasing and functional landscape. For example:
The size of your family, presence of pets and frequency of visitors will help determine a practical layout with easy access to all elements of the yard. It will also allow for better planning of entries and exits for your front and back yard.
Based on the age of your children and your entertaining requirements, you could incorporate several additional elements. A pool, a soft-sand play area, a water feature or an outdoor kitchen, these are some options to consider.
Do you prefer a hands-on or hands-off style of yard maintenance? This is an important consideration when deciding the amount of turf, type of vegetation, irrigation system, and other aspects of your landscape plan.
