RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls have both practical and design-related purposes in gardens. In sloping spaces, they play an important role to help prevent soil erosion and help make the space more functional. They're also perfect for use as a design element—many ways retaining walls add interest and cohesion to a landscape.
FIREPIT AREAS
A fire pit is a great way to promote family time and conversation, extending your parties deep into the cool fall evenings. Even in the spring and summer, they add interest and class to many backyard designs. Plus, who doesn’t love s’mores? It’s a win/win for family members of all ages!
Here is a selection of great fire pit design ideas, typically integrated with inviting seating areas, that you can use for some outdoor makeover inspiration. Whether you’re looking for a DIY fire pit, an ultra-modern fire pit, or a small portable fire pit, you’re in the right place.
PATIOS & WALKWAYS
As sunny days and warmer nights start making their approach, now is the perfect time to pay attention to the patio you’ve been neglecting. It may be outdoors, but it’s still a part of your home—as such, it should feel connected to the rest of your space, so make sure to give it some love this spring. You can make it conducive for a quick daytime retreat, or a friendly dinner under the stars. Or you can just de-stress and sit around a cozy outdoor fireplace or fire pitwhile taking in the serene views nature has to offer. All in all, whether you want your patio to be a dining area, a fireside lounge, or a full-on family room
IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Having an irrigation system makes your property more valuable all around. The upgrade is a major selling point to potential buyers should you be in the market to sell. And finally, an irrigation system can help you maintain consistent curb appeal, especially during the heat of the summer months when dry soil can lead to bald spots in your lawn and stressed plants that are more vulnerable to pests and disease.
Convenient & Cost-Effective
Sure, you could drag around a hose and hand water as needed, but that’s ineffective for a number of reasons. Aside from being a time-consuming, clunky process, hand watering is prone to user error. Are you overwatering? Underwatering? It’s hard to know, especially since different plants have different water needs.
This is where an irrigation system excels. With today’s smart technology, your system can be set to run at the optimum cadence, time of day, and duration for your landscape. Rain sensors can turn off your system to save you money during a storm. Soil sensors monitor the moisture level in your soil and adjust watering as needed. There are even flow sensors that can alert you to unusually high or low water usage and turn off your system if a leak is detected. And best of all, WIFI-enabled controllers make it easy for you or your landscape partner to manage your system from anywhere.
LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
Landscape lights allow you to continue to enjoy the beauty of your yard even when it's dark out. And it can even make your landscape more dramatic, with well-placed outdoor spotlights and washes casting intriguing shadows and highlighting the best plants, water features and other aspects. While focusing attention on the area’s most important details, this lighting also helps people to safely traverse across it with path lighting and deck lighting guiding the way.
Where Outdoor Landscape Lighting Works Best
Most outdoor landscape lighting is designed to discretely illuminate and keep the landscape at the center of attention. These fixtures are best hidden within bushes or rock formations and oriented to highlight the leaves in a tree or wash up a textural wall. Backyard ponds benefit from underwater lights, while in-ground well lights provide an atmospheric glow. Lastly, use bollard lights anywhere you need extra illumination for safety or direction.
The Benefits of LED Landscape Lighting
In addition to the cost savings you'll notice, the use of LED landscape fixtures requires very little maintenance on your part. LEDs are rated to last for a very long time, meaning you won't have to change out your lights every summer.
