The status of your home’s exterior is a key component of a property’s curb appeal. This applies to both residential houses and commercial properties such as office complexes, banks, retail stores, industrial facilities, restaurants and more. If a prospective customer arrives to your business and the lawn and landscape is run down, or a friend arrives at your home and the lawn is grossly overgrown, it will be very off putting. So it’s critical to ensure an outdoor space is built and maintained properly and in order to do so, the right landscaping company needs to be chosen.
It Begins With The Design Plan
Before the outdoor space and landscaping at a property is built from scratch or newly renovated, the project must first be planned out. Planning includes taking site measurements, assessing the sun and shade areas, determining which spots will have more soil moisture, different soil types, terrain and more. This phase lays the very foundation for your landscape.
Landscape Construction Needs To Be Done Right
The construction and building process must also be executed to near perfection in order for a landscape and lawn to thrive. Corners cannot be cut – this means using top quality materials combined with industry-standard installation practices. These practices can include installing bulk material such as rock or mulch at a proper depth with underlayment to ensure weeds can’t grow in, shrubs and trees are planted in areas where they will be able to successfully grow, and much more.
Don’t Skimp On Lawn Maintenance
The best landscape design and installation project could win awards, but if it’s not maintained with care, it could become a disaster in a short period of time. A property’s curb appeal is only as good as its yard and landscape maintenance – this includes weekly grass cutting, leaf removal, proper fertilization and weed control, tree and shrub trimming and core lawn aeration.
A rep from Proscapes & Tree, an Acworth, GA landscaping company states “We see a lot of properties with landscapes that have grown old that look like they are brand new, whereas some properties with landscapes less than 5 years old can be an utter mess. It all comes down to maintenance.”
It’s highly advised to take all three steps – design, construct, maintain into account when planning a landscaping project.
