Five Landscaping Project Ideas

What homeowner hasn’t looked at a worn-out concrete patio and dreamed of replacing it? Patio upgrades top the list of our most-requested landscaping projects. Any of them pique your interest? Contact us today to get started on your next project!

1. Paver and Flagstone Patios

It’s on just about everyone’s wish list of things to do…a classic, beautiful, durable brick patio. It’s longer-lasting and prettier than concrete. No cracking!

Paver bricks have gone from a “high end” patio option to a more practical option, thanks to increased popularity, more competition among contractors who specialize in paver brick installation (like Great Goats), and lower prices for higher quality paver bricks than 5-10 years ago.

Flagstone patios have the same durability advantage as paver bricks, but with the random beauty of natural stone.

2. Front Landscapes

Everyone wants better curb appeal…for themselves, for the neighbors. This could include a new front walkway, a new design for the front entry, areas for new flowers and shrubs in the front yard. And everyone could use another shade tree.

3. Out With The Old!

old-to-new

One of our most high-demand and most gratifying projects. Your house is 15-20 years old. All the shrubs are overgrown, dead or dying. This “look” is dating your home. We start by tearing out the old foundation shrubs and often, removing the old landscape rock. Now we have a blank slate to create a new design, using plants, colors and textures that you love and that bring your house into the “now.”

4. Fire Pits/Fire Places

The addition of a fire feature is both fun and functional. It’s a natural place for family and friends to gather and create “warm” memories. Kids love to roast marshmallows and s’mores, and there’s no better way to keep teenagers close to home than a fire feature. Neighbors become friends as the smell of a backyard fire lures them through the gate, refreshments to share in hand!

5. Backyard Landscapes

Your private retreat, with a place to sit and relax, areas to entertain, a water feature to unwind whatever’s wound too tight. Landscape lighting, cool breeze, the smell of what’s blooming today. Why would you ever want to leave…home.
