If you are like most people who purchase a new home, by the time you get all moved in and find all of your things, an entire year has gone by! Then, one day, as you drive around your neighborhood, you begin to notice that some of your neighbors have beautiful looking yards. Perhaps it’s time for you to up your yard game! But what to do and how? Don’t worry, I can help you find just the right hardscape design for your yard.

The first thing we have to do is determine what kind of look you want. Some people like a very tropical look, with lush green, leafy plantings and tropical flowers. Others want just certain colors and native plantings to keep their yards looking inviting, but less maintenance than some types of plantings. Others want destinations, places to sit and chat with their friends, but to still have the plants around their yards that make it feel comfortable and inviting.

Beyond just making your yard look better, we can add planting into your landscape plan which help draw you and your guests out into the yard. For Example, if you want to attract butterflies to your yard, then you might want to plant Firebush, Hamelia patens,. Not only will it attract butterflies, it’s a native plant and will grown better in your yard with less tending than plants which are not native to our area.  There are several other types of plants which will attract butterflies and even plants which can help keep the bugs away.
