You may have a concept of what would make for the ideal outdoor living space in Reiffton and Wescosville, PA, but how can you take it to the next step? This is where finding the right landscapers is necessary for getting your ideas for a design created and then built. Here is what could be included in this outdoor living project.
Paver Patio
Paver patios set the foundation for the ideal landscape. You can choose a single style, color, and texture, or have a pattern designed that uses several styles together for added visual interest. Pavers last much longer than a traditional poured concrete patio because they are more durable, and you can remove and replace a single paver if it becomes damaged. Compare this to poured concrete, which needs to be replaced in its entirety in the event of damage.
Plantings
There is nothing quite like relaxing outside, surrounded by beautiful, soft flowers and robust plantings. Choose plantings that work for your specific location, taking into account the amount of light an area receives, the drainage of the soil, and other factors. Then further narrow down the options based on what you fall in love with.
Fire Feature
A custom-built fire feature can be the focal point of your landscape. Choose a fire pit and add built-in seating around it for the perfect place to relax on a cool spring or fall evening. For a more dramatic option, consider an outdoor fireplace, with its added warmth that can be enjoyed in even the coldest months.
Retaining Walls
A retaining wall can serve many purposes. Homeowners often choose to have them built to increase the usable amount of space in their backyard or to prevent erosion and minimize flooding, but they can be just as beautiful as they are functional. Lighting can be built right into them, to bring attention to their beautiful textures.
Pavilion
If you’re imagining doing a lot of entertaining in your new outdoor living space, a pavilion is a lovely idea. You can have one built to suit your exact taste and needs. Whether you decide on a free-standing pavilion for people to gather in or one that’s an extension of your home, it can provide an ideal backdrop for the perfect summer night. Choose a covered pavilion, and you can enjoy a breezy, rainy night under the stars.
Landscape Lighting
Lighting is sometimes overlooked during the initial stages of planning upgrades to a landscape, but it in fact affects every part of landscape design. It’s about more than creating safe, clear routes for navigating your landscape at night. Think of task lighting to make it easy to use your outdoor kitchen at dusk, or spotlights that highlight water features in your pool. Ideally, you will have various outdoor lighting options designed and built throughout the property so that you can dim and adjust the lighting depending on the mood you want to set.
