If things look shabby, don’t worry! Change can be exciting!
First impressions matter and if you think your current landscaping isn’t attractive and your plantings are 15-20+ years old, chances are things are looking tired, overgrown and outdated. As a professional landscaper in Southeastern PA, we talk to many homeowners about updating their landscaping. We always reassure our customers that just because your shrubbery came with the house doesn’t mean you have to stick with it.
Good landscaping sets the tone for the character of the home and how it shows off in the neighborhood.
4 Reasons You May Need a New Landscape Renovation
Landscape looks ‘out-dated’. A residential landscape is meant to last approximately 20 years according to industry standards. Perhaps you inherited outdated landscaping. Foundation plantings become too big for the space they’re in. Poor pruning and maintenance over the years can make nice shrubbery look unattractive especially when crowded.
Your walkway, patio or walls have become uneven. Is the initial builder walkway grade unattractive, cracked and people have to ‘watch their step’?
Landscape is skimpy or neglected? Plants, trees and shrubs die and leave gaping holes in your landscape. Regular maintenance has been ignored and weeds and vines have taken over.
Family not taking advantage of outdoor living. If your family is not spending time together, chances are you’re outdoor environment is not inviting. Hardscaping features allow clients to get even more usage out of their space. Outdoors can be the most popular space at your house featuring kitchens, cozy fireplaces or fire pits, water features or sitting walls. Outdoor features are magnets that bring family outdoors.
