Landscape Design and Installation: Some popular landscaping additions to a yard include: Shrubs, Hedges, Bushes, Trees, Retaining Walls, Walkways, Fountains, and Patios, to name a few.
Creating the perfect landscaping for your home or business involves far more than just choosing the right plants and laying them out. When you hire Daniel’s Landscaping to handle your landscaping design and installation, you’ll get a team of talented designers and installers who know how to create a perfect mixture of balance, color, proportion, and practical maintenance.
Your New Landscape Design.
Our team of landscape installers are the best in the business. Before we get started installing the beautiful plans created by our designers, we must first remove any old landscaping. This involves digging up and hauling away old plants, reshaping the landscape beds, fixing any drainage issues, and preparing the soil for the planting of the new shrubs, flowers, and trees.
If there are hardscaping elements that were part of the project, our team will build them into the project prior to planting. Once all the structures and beds are ready, the planting can begin. All trees, flowers, and shrubs are prepared and planted in their proper locations based on the design. Finally, mulch or rock is brought in as ground cover and installed at a thickness of 2-3 inches to provide the final touch to the job.
Welcome To Daniel's Landscaping
Planning and designing your new landscaping project.
Before the design process can begin, a consultation is needed to get an idea of what you would like to see, and what you don’t like. During this time our professional landscape designer will go over different options, provide ideas, and work with you to come up with the perfect plan. During the initial consultation and design process, we’ll tackle plant selection, such as trees, flowers, bushes, etc., to be used in your new landscaping. We’ll also determine the shape and placement of your landscaping beds and whether any hardscaping elements, like walkways, patios, or water features will be included. In addition, we will help you select ground covering for your landscaping beds as well. Both mulch and rock options are available and will help determine the final quote of your project.
Four Major Design Elements To Consider
Balance
Your landscape design can be asymmetrical or symmetrical. When designing asymmetrically, we place the plants and other elements in a non-uniformed fashion, creating a beautiful overall design. When designing to be symmetrical, we use a uniformed approach and lay plants out in pattern formats that carry throughout the design.
Focal Point
This is the strongest element of your landscape design. This spot will catch the eye of people first when they look at your landscaping. It is important to choose a spot close to the entrance of your home. Focal points can be constructed using different plants, colors, and even hardscaping materials, to name a few.
Proportion
Your design should be proportionate to your home or building size, both horizontally and vertically to not overshadow your home, but add to it.
Unity
Your design should fit together as a whole. All colors, sizes, shapes, and placement of the elements should work together to create a visually pleasing effect.
