4 Signs It's Time to Call a Landscape Design Company
Few things can make you enjoy spending time outside more than a great landscape design. According to This Old House, more than 1.3 million people were employed in the nation's landscaping industry in 2023. That number suggests you should have good local landscaping contractors in your area who can create and install the ideal landscape. Here are four signs to watch for that tell you it's time to call one.
1. Your Property Lacks Suitable Drainage
When excess precipitation is on your property, it should flow away from your home and other structures. Your property shouldn't have muddy areas or marsh-like spots in the lawn due to water saturating one or more areas. Instead of acting like a basin that catches water, your property should enable it to flow away. A landscape design can include retaining walls and other landscaping elements to improve drainage.
2. Your Lawn Struggles to Thrive
If you have a lawn, it should look uniformly lush, thick, and green. If you have bare patches, weeds, and other problems that make your yard look less than perfect, a landscaping company can design and install an irrigation system. The system can provide your lawn with water where it's needed most. It can also water a flower garden, trees, and other plants that might be part of your landscaping design.
3. You Want to Add Outdoor Living Space
Many people enjoy having a patio or deck that extends their home's living space to the outdoors. Such structures require space, and a landscaping company can remove the earth, build retaining walls, and clear a level space for a patio, deck, or pool deck. The same service can install a patio and might offer a deck-building service or recommend one that can build your perfect deck.
4. Erosion Is Wrecking Part of Your Land
If your land is having problems with erosion carrying away part of it, you can stop it from happening by calling a landscaping service. A good landscaping contractor can inspect your land and the areas that are hit the hardest by erosion and determine the best way to stop it. Revising your landscape with natural drainage, retaining walls, and other landscaping features can help control erosion on your property.
