Photos of Renovated Landscapings

First impressions are always important. Regardless of yard size, the landscape around your home will be every passer-by and visitor's first impression of 'who' you are. In addition to curb-side appeal and compatibility with connecting yards and neighborhood covenants, your landscape should reflect your lifestyle and interests, and compliment the design of your house. With that in mind, the design and layout of your landscape warrants as much attention as your home's interior. When considering maintenance, time and upkeep requirements, also consider present and future investments. This is especially important when considering the increased real estate market value of your property, afforded by great landscaping. In addition to ever-popular water features, and well-planned herb, flower, and grocery gardens, current trends also favor garden seating, butterfly gardens, hanging-plant gardens, and greater variation in flower and greenery color combinations. And, regardless of how elaborate or simple the design, the top trends currently embraced are eco-friendly landscaping, with a stronger slant toward outdoor living.
