What is a retaining wall, and what can it do for my landscape?

Retaining Walls

The definition of a retaining wall is a solid wall used to support sloped soil so that it can be retained at multiple levels. It is used because the soil wouldn’t naturally be in that form

You don’t just want a wall on your landscape; we understand. However, a retaining wall has tremendous benefits for your property. 

Benefits such as: 

  1. They prevent flooding on your landscape. 
  2. They add a spark to your property, especially made of different elements like stones, bricks, and wood. 
  3. They act as a property boundary marker when a fence isn’t enough.
  4. They slow down and prevent soil erosion. 
  5. They give you the chance to make more space available on your landscape. 
  6. They are low on maintenance and protect against potential damage. 
  7. Property Value- with all these benefits, value comes with them! 

Don’t hesitate to get a retaining wall on your property today! 

What benefits does a fire pit have?

Fire Pits

The latest craze for landscapes in the last few years has been fire pits! So naturally, everyone wants to add one to their property, no matter the size. 

Fire pits create the perfect space for relaxation. In addition, they are an elevated conversation piece in your house that is located outdoors! 

Roast some marshmallows, read a book, and host a dinner party; a fire pit gives you the ultimate space on your property that can be utilized all night!

Should I add a patio to my property?

Patios

The patio is the perfect spot on your property! 

Enjoy a nice BBQ, host a fun party, or get together and have a designated area! A patio is where you entertain all your guests during the spring and summer when no one wants to be inside, and you don’t want all those people in your home. 

Patios will also extend the entire outdoor living space of your landscape. 

Did you know that a patio is one of the best investments you can make to increase your property value? 

It’s true! It is estimated that when done by pros, a well-made and designed patio can add upwards of 8%-10% of your property value! 

Should I consider getting an outdoor kitchen?

Outdoor Kitchens

An outdoor kitchen is an ultimate addition to any landscape, especially for those individuals who love cooking and hosting! 

People don’t consider outdoor kitchens because they wonder why they need two kitchens for one property. They didn’t think about the benefits they would get! 

When you get an outdoor kitchen installed on your property, you are:

  1. Adding a great spot to entertain guests. 
  2. Lowering your energy bills.
  3. Making cooking and hosting activities much more manageable. 
  4. Keep all smells outside of your home. 
  5. Less likely to order food when entertaining. 
  6. Adding value to your property!

An outdoor kitchen has everything you need to cook and host all in one place. You don’t have to go in and out of your home, forget about cook times, and not entertain your guests. With an outdoor kitchen, you can do it all! 

What is an outdoor living space?

Outdoor Living Space

Outdoor living space is often a term that people don’t recognize or know precisely what it means. For example, most people assume it is another term for patio, but that isn’t the case.

It is not only a place to show off your landscape or grow things in a garden. It is the entire area where you and your family and guests will eat and socialize. An outdoor living space can also be a place to read and cook. 

In most cases, outdoor living space can include patios, spas, children’s play areas, gardens, and even pools! 

With an outdoor living area being an entire space, it creates an opportunity to host events and parties and form family memories that will last forever. In addition, it allows you to show yourself off and get creative with the space, as it can adapt to your style and the size of your property! 

Create the perfect space for you and your family today!
