In 2020, we spent a lot of time indoors or within the confines of our outdoor property. Some Northern, NJ, homeowners may be looking for a change to their landscape this spring season, having a newfound sense of appreciation for spending time on their outdoor patios, barbecuing, and walking barefoot on their lush lawns.
While lawn maintenance in general is confusing at times, cultivating an outdoor space perfectly landscaped for you can be thoroughly overwhelming. Fortunately, we're here to help. Here are our best tips based on current trends for developing a fresh and beautiful landscape on your Northern, NJ, property:
Up-To-Date Systems - Before discussing aesthetic trends, it is important to note that on a fundamental level, all irrigation systems should be up-to-date. Landscape changes and adjustments can be overshadowed or ruined by a faulty irrigation system, creating small "floods" of water along your property. This can cause damage to the grass, erosion to the irrigation system over time, and raise your water bill considerably. For tech-savvy homeowners in Northern, NJ, there are now items on the market that are able to be controlled through your smartphone.
Hardscaping - For reason listed above, among with other grass-related maintenance woes, many Northern, NJ, homeowners are now opting out of keeping large expanses of grass on their property. As a result, hardscaping is a growing trend. Creating a patio, installing stepping-stones along the property, or installing a fire pit area over a cement area are some examples of lessening the amount of grass on your property while maintaining a naturally beautiful space. It also makes foliage such as plants and ornamentals stand out. In-turn, the amount of time, maintenance, and money necessary to keep the grass thriving is lessened significantly, allowing you to keep a full wallet and use your time savoring the landscape you've worked so hard to create.
Uniformity - Humans tend to gravitate towards spaces that are well-maintained and uniform. For this reason, symmetry in landscaping is a popular trend among homeowners looking to maximize the appearance of their property. There are several ways uniformity can be achieved on your Northern, NJ, landscape. The most popular method is with walkways, which are very versatile in their symmetrical abilities. If you are opting for a stone walkway, deliberately placed stones mirroring one another add an elegant visual appeal. Concrete walkways that are more simplistic can be refined with ornamentals and other foliage that are aligned to mirror one another as well. If you are not a fan of plants, stones and decorative lawn ornaments can also create a uniform appearance.
