Correct Landscape Design - Protecting Your Investment

Designing your property’s landscape area doesn’t follow a strict formula—it’s all about personal taste and the landscape products available. Just like interior and fashion design, landscape design trends evolve. When selecting products for your landscape, choose ones that are both modern and timeless.

Be cautious about using products that are too trendy, as they may quickly become outdated. For example, a highly stylized paving stone in an exotic color might look great now but could look dated in a few years. Replacing paving stones can be expensive. Similarly, a built-in fire pit makes a great focal point but requires ample space for safety. If you grow tired of it or need more patio space, removal can be costly. A movable fire pit offers flexibility, allowing you to adjust your space as needed.

Showcase Landscape Services will ensure that the products you incorporate are durable and suitable for your property. Weigh the pros and cons of each selection. For instance, if installing a fence, consider whether you prefer the look of PVC or wood. Is the fence purely functional, or should it complement your garden’s theme? A bright white PVC fence may not blend well in a natural setting, whereas a wooden fence that weathers to a soft gray could be a better fit. Also, consider maintenance—fencing materials will eventually need repairs or replacement. If you choose an unusual type, ensure that replacement materials will be available in the future. Opt for products with a proven track record.

While it’s wise to be selective, don’t be afraid to experiment. Try a new product, plant, or vibrant color. Enjoy the latest garden innovations, but avoid jumping on every trend that could quickly date your landscape. Be ready to refresh your garden with new elements while maintaining a cohesive, inviting look. Moderation is key, but your garden should always be dynamic and full of life.
