Over the past few months, I embarked on a transformative landscape project that yielded remarkable results! We began by addressing the challenge of removing 40 overgrown trees, creating a blank canvas for our vision. For those contemplating a similar project, here’s a comprehensive guide to planning your landscape transformation: 🌱 Define Your Purpose: Clarify your outdoor space’s intended use, whether it’s for BBQs, entertaining, kids’ play, or a mix – your goals form the project’s foundation. 🏗️ Hardscaping Vision: Once clear on your goals, focus on hardscaping – pathways, patios, structures. Choose pavers matching style and budget, mindful of an irrigation system that won’t impact your foundation. 👷 Professional Assistance: Depending on complexity, consult landscape professionals for insights and local regulation compliance. Our project addressed basement leaks through expert hardscaping. 🌿 Landscape Design: Include climate-suited plants, shrubs, and trees, considering aesthetics, maintenance, and seasonal changes. 🛠️ Execution: Whether DIY or contractors, prepare for hard work; the end result will be rewarding. 🌼 Maintenance: Keep your landscape thriving year-round with regular care – watering, pruning, and cleaning. Regarding climate considerations: 🌳 Evergreen Choice: Boston’s harsh winters led to evergreen shrubs for year-round appeal and privacy. 🌱 SOD vs. Grass Seeds: We chose SOD for instant lush lawns, weed resistance, and erosion control in our climate. Climate considerations guided our choices toward evergreen shrubs for year-round appeal and SOD for its speed, weed resistance, and erosion control benefits. #LandscapePlanning #OutdoorLiving #HardscapingTips #ClimateSmartLandscaping #EvergreenChoice #SODvsSeeds #bostonhomes #bostonblogger
