How to Solve Your Biggest Household Problems with Good Landscape Design

It’s amazing how many little household dilemmas and annoyances can be solved with a good landscape design. Don’t believe us? Check out the following common home dilemmas and see how you can solve your biggest problems with the help of a landscape designer.

Control Erosion

Do sloped areas of your yard often end up washing out and creating ruts in your lawn or mud in the street below? A good landscape design can solve the problem with plants and stone to stop hills from eroding and causing damage. Visit our landscape series episode about stone walls and elevation to learn more.

Drainage Problems

Do you end up with puddles in your paved driveway or ruts in a gravel one every time there’s a heavy rain? Does water as seem to make its way into your basement? A good landscape design can help solve those problems once and for all by providing proper irrigation throughout your yard.

More Space for Entertaining

Not enough space indoors to entertain a crowd? Have a landscape designer create a patio with multiple outdoor “rooms” to accommodate a crowd with ease. Your landscape designer can also create open spaces for outdoor games like badminton or volley ball, as well as dress the whole space up with beautiful trees and seasonal plantings.

High Heating and Cooling Costs

Do your energy costs seem to be forever going up? A well-designed landscape can harness the power of the sun and block wind, helping with too much sun streaming in your south and west-facing windows in summer and wind battering your home’s north side in the winter. Deciduous trees planted on the south side of your property can offer shade in the summer and let sun shine in for some passive solar heating in the winter. Evergreens planted near north facing windows and doors can block wind in the winter while reducing your heating costs.
