Designing an amazing outdoor space is no walk in the park, but it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding. You’ll need to consider how you plan on using your outdoor space and what landscaping materials will best suit your needs.
1. Identify Your Outdoor Space
Begin by examining your property as a whole. What areas give you the most trouble? What areas require landscaping the least? If you already have landscaping services underway, ask them to take measurements of any landscaped areas so that you can use those measurements for this project. Make a list of all the plants, trees, hedges, rocks, or other landscaping materials that are already present or which you intend to place within specific spaces. Pre-existing landscaping materials and landscaping services will give you an idea of what kinds of landscaping services may be available to help complete your outdoor space.
2. Check Your List Of Requirements And Desires
Once you have compiled a list of landscaping requirements, start looking into landscaping design options that may satisfy those requirements. Research the landscaping companies in your area and ask for recommendations from friends and family members. They may recommend landscapers who specialize in creating amazing outdoor spaces or landscapers with whom they’ve had particularly good experiences in the past.
3. Find Inspiration In Nature
When designing an amazing outdoor space, it’s always best to look at the existing natural world around you for inspiration, especially if your property is landlocked or otherwise lacks landscaping materials. Which areas are the lushest? Which areas do you wish were lusher? Which landscaping materials seem to be thriving in your area? What landscaping materials thrive in climates similar to yours? Look at pictures of places with lush landscaping and take notes on what kinds of landscaping services they have.
4. Get A Designer’s Help
If you still feel confused about landscaping design after researching nature for inspiration, don’t hesitate to consult a professional landscaping company or designer. Most landscapers offer free consultations so that you can discuss the details of your property and get advice specific to your needs before investing any money into landscaping ideas.
5. Get Started With Local Landscapers
Once you have discussed your landscaping ideas with landscapers, get started on the project as soon as possible to avoid common issues such as landscaping delays.
Landscaping can be difficult without professional help or training, but if done correctly it can increase the value of your property by 4 times, improve air quality and increase feelings of serenity.
