Softscape Landscaping: Finalizing Your Boise, Idaho Backyard

Especially with today's market, owning a home is a massive accomplishment! If you've managed to secure a property in the recent past, congratulations! We know how stressful that is for anyone, but more so now than ever. Now that you own a property, the fun part begins: working together with your family or partner to invest the time, money, and energy into making this your dream home. 

When it comes to your yard and landscaping, Bella Vista Landscaping here in Boise has your back. We come from years of experience in many different aspects of landscaping, and today, we'll be sharing two of our top recommendations to start out for the softscaping of your dream home: 

1. Mulch or Bark

Mulch or bark are two organic materials that will pull your yard together as you prepare it for use. Many of our clients use it pathways through their yard, flower beds and gardens, around trees, to fill garden boxes and planters, as the floor for their dog runs, or even as a foundation to a child's playground. Mulch and bark are both affordable materials that help prevent weeds and protects the soil from regular wear and tear, especially with the crazy weather here in Boise! 

2. Sod Installation

Adding sod to your yard is a quick and sure-fire way to make sure you have a dynamite lawn right from the get go. If you have kids or pets that love to run around outdoors, this is an effective way to get your yard to its fully functional state without having to wait for weeks or months for grass to grow in. At Bella Vista Landscaping, we also offer lawn sprinkler and irrigation system installation. Having a well-functioning sprinkler system can keep your yard green and fresh, even throughout the summer months.

Xeriscaping: Low-Maintenance Landscaping with Plants Native to Boise, ID

Image
It’s a well-known fact that Boise--the City of Trees--is a desert; we claim a small piece of  the Great Basin Desert, the only “cold” desert in the United States. If you’ve lived here in the Treasure Valley for very long, you are well aware of our frequent droughts, how frequently we discuss the water levels in our reservoirs, and noticed the low-water plants local to our area, including sage brush, bitterbrush, and arrowleaf balsamroot (those yellow, sunflower-like wildflowers you see during springtime hikes in the foothills). Yet, in Boise proper and into our suburbs, there is a stark contrast to the wild flora: green lawns all summer long are the norm, and few plants frequently used in landscaping are indigenous to Idaho. Today on Bella Vista Landscaping's blog, we'll be discussing a style of landscaping that’s rapidly gaining popularity addresses this difference: xeriscaping.  What is xeriscaping?  Xeriscaping is landscaping focused on low maintenance and low water usage.
