Great landscape design in Vienna VA should be beautiful as well as functional. In that way, the value of the landscape design and materials is maximized to the fullest. What do we mean by beauty and function?
- Plants, bushes, and trees should be selected based on their looks through all four seasons, hardiness, and areas of the yard where they will be planted. For example, plants that require more water should be placed in areas of the yard where water tends to pool.
- Bushes and trees should also be chosen based on potential height and root systems, planted in appropriate areas and distances from the home and hardscaping. Bushes and trees can also provide nature fencing and provide privacy.
- The orientation of the yard and sun times will also dictate where plants, bushes, and trees are planted. For instance, a tree can be placed to provide shade to the home during hot afternoons, actually cooling the home and saving on energy bills.
- Water features such as fountains, ponds, and creek beds are gorgeous additions to your landscape design in Vienna VA, and will also cool down the yard. Creek beds can be placed to direct heavy rains away from the home and prevent flooding. Ponds can also be used to collect water runoff.
- Flowers and plants, herbs and vegetables that look and taste great are a wonderful addition to any landscape.
- Retention walls created with gorgeous stone or brick can add beauty and dimension to your yard - and solve many erosion problems, and adjust the severity of any slopes.
- Hardscapes, such as your driveway, walkways, pathways, and patio provide hard surfaces for safety. They can also be works of art - created with pavers, bricks, stones, and stamped concrete.
