Landscaping Upgrades To Plan Now

The last snows are melting all over the country, temperatures are starting to rise and people are beginning to turn their attention back to the space outside their homes. The spring is a great time to implement a landscaping makeover and, whether your current budget will only run to a mini makeover or you are ready to tackle a larger project, now is the time to start planning, before all the best landscapers and contractors in your area are booked up and too busy to help you. Here are a few ideas.

Have a Floating Deck Built

Is there a corner of your yard that gets great sun, is rather spacious but, because it is set quite a way from your house, you really don't do that much with it? If so, then this may be the perfect spot to have a floating deck constructed this year. A floating deck is built much in the same way a "regular"" deck, it just serves as a free standing structure rather than one tethered to the side of house. This opens up far greater design possibilities as you are not limited to having to choose a deck style that matches the lines of your home. Find a good deck builder and if you want an octagonal floating deck you can have it.

Add a Pond

Water features are still a hot landscaping trend and a pond is one of the most spectacular yet relatively easy and inexpensive to commission. Find a good landscaper and not only will they be able to help you plan and design the perfect watery addition to your garden but will even help advise you about what should live in it, both in terms of plant life and fish. Give Your Landscape a Theme Love the traditional look of a bloom filled English garden? Or perhaps you prefer the tranquil calm of an Oriental style outdoor space? If you can give your exterior space a theme in the same way you may have to the interior of your home your general enjoyment and the curb appeal of your home's exterior will increase significantly. All good landscapers will be happy to spend some time consulting with you about your options before you make any decisions. What you can and cannot do may be limited by local soil conditions, average temperatures and other regional factors so requesting such a consult can save you a lot of money on dead and withered plants and flowers down the line.

Consider Lawn Alternatives

Many homeowners fight what often seems to be a losing battle trying to keep their large lawns in decent shape. If you are one of them, one of the things you could consider is cutting down on the actual amount of lawn you have to deal with. There are a number of attractive and easier to maintain alternatives to grass including decorative stone, cedar chips and you could even consider adding a stylish patio to make better use of some of that green space.
