For homeowners seeking to revamp their home’s outdated exterior, a professional landscaping makeover can breathe new life into tired front gardens. Our seasoned designers utilize strategic plant selections and hardscaping elements to create contemporary curb appeal.
Reimagining Front Fences for Curb Appeal
We recommend replacing sagging, weathered fences with sleek, low-maintenance options that make a modern statement. Durable aluminum or steel styles with horizontal slats or vertical rods align with contemporary aesthetics. Neutral metallic finishes in brushed nickel, bronze and black complement various architectural styles from Craftsman to Modern.
For added security, we specify reinforced gates and hardware, often incorporating smart technology like keyless and app-controlled access. Front fences make that all-important first impression, setting the tone for your home’s facade. A well-designed, properly installed fence gives your landscape coherence and polish.
Inviting Walkways to Welcome Guests
Cracked, uneven concrete walkways get a fresh modern upgrade using natural stone or high-quality interlocking pavers. Materials like travertine, bluestone and granite create organic texture underfoot while providing long-lasting stability and efficient drainage. Our experts properly grade and prepare the base for optimum stability. We strategically place outdoor sconces to illuminate paths, preventing trip hazards.
Vertical Gardens Maximize Impact
In compact urban front gardens, vertical spaces allow for maximized impact. Mounted planters attached to walls and fences filled with carefree cascading greenery, including succulents, ivy and ferns, provide an inviting pop of color and life. Strategically placed sculptures, containers and living walls draw the eye, creating dramatic focal points.
Outdoor Patios Extend Living Space
Tired patios are transformed into true outdoor living rooms with the designer’s touch. We incorporate weather-resistant seating, cozy area rugs and dramatic container plantings to create an inviting ambiance for relaxation and entertaining. Mood lighting sets the stage for alfresco dining under twinkling strings of lights. Our designers seamlessly extend interior aesthetics to the outdoors for a cohesive look and feel.
Smart Home Technology Enhances Convenience
Technology adds modern convenience and efficiency to front gardens. We incorporate keyless entries, video doorbell systems, automated lighting, and smart irrigation controllers into our designs. Homeowners can access their home’s systems remotely, adjusting lighting, irrigation and more from their smartphones. Remote accessibility and monitoring takes the guesswork out of garden maintenance when homeowners travel.
