It’s the finishing touches that elevate your landscape design project. Whether you’re updating your existing landscaping or performing a complete property overhaul, don’t overlook the details. While the main construction project will take your home up a notch, the final touches bring your landscape design closer to perfection. Here are a few creative elements to add to your landscape project.
Check Your Drainage
Starting with the more practical tasks, you should check your yard’s drainage after construction is over, especially after projects involving excavation and surface grading. Ensure that no puddles of water accumulate for an extended duration in any area. You can have this checked by the professional attending your project or wait for a rainy day. This will give you peace of mind that your landscape will not encounter drainage problems in the rainy season.
Have a Color Scheme
Have you considered creating a color scheme for your garden? If you’ve replaced all your plants, chances are the answer is yes, but if not, a color scheme will help to give the space a sense of coherence. Don’t stop at the plants; consider echoing your color scheme in accessories, furniture, and paint.
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting creates a comfortable atmosphere and makes your backyard as functional at night as it is during the day. Outdoor lighting is also a great way to increase safety and security on your property.
Well-lit walkways and stairs ensure your property is easy to navigate at night and guide traffic to different areas of your yard. Landscape lighting creates a dramatic impact when paired with water features. Properly lit water features provide ambiance and create focal points in a night-time landscape.
Patio Furniture
Lastly, patio furniture makes your new yard a true extension of your home. Modern patio furniture is available in various designs and aesthetics, catering to all landscape designs. You can add a pop of color with patio furniture or opt for subtle colors and designs to contrast existing flashy features. Accent pieces like cushions and vases bring a nice balance between the two and can be a smart way to bring your final design together.
