1) Concrete Borders and Edging

An often overlooked option, decorative concrete curbing and edges for flower beds and gardens can add so much to your yard! In addition to the elegance and style these borders can provide, they:

  • Create a root border to prevent your lawn from creeping into the beds
  • Save you valuable time in maintenance
  • Are more durable and resistant to extremes in weather
  • Come in a variety of style options
Concrete borders and edging may not be the first thing to come to mind as you consider your dream yard, but adding this classy touch can elevate your property with a relatively easy addition!

2) Overhead Shades and Structures

These structures are becoming increasingly popular! Some of our clients choose to build them over patios or their outdoor kitchens. Overhead shades and structures: 

  • Add a high-end vibe to any residential backyard
  • Protects your patio furniture and other belongings from sun damage
  • Extends the time you can enjoy your yard by providing shade
Some families choose to install a gazebo in the back corner of their property, or simply an overhead shade to increase comfort for their guests. We love exploring the many creative options for these fun and fancy structures! 

3) Water Features and Fountains

Water features are another fun addition to a property that you may not have considered yet! Whether you like fountains or a small, aesthetic pond, installing a water feature can be a refreshing element that gives your yard the wow factor. Because water features are typically underutilized, adding a fountain or birdbath is a surefire way to make your yard stand out in the best way.
