Create a harmonious fit between house and land
In
a well-planned landscape, the good experiences of home extend beyond the
walls of the building. Your home's entranceways are convenient and inviting;
your windows face views that please the eye; outdoor living spaces offer
both refuge and outlook; cars approach and park without difficulty. A
good landscape enhances the beauty of your home without overpowering it,
so the house looks as comfortable on the site as the trees, shrubs, and
stones.
In addition, rain falling on a well-designed landscape sheds harmlessly away from your home and outdoor activity areas and is directed instead toward the places where moisture will benefit your soil and plants. Landscape features and the ground itself are shaped to protect and showcase the character of your property. Plants frame views and enclose activity areas. Trees deflect extremes of cold and heat while helping the house capture winter sun and summer breezes.
Landscape planning will help you achieve these desirable results by integrating all the site's unique qualities into a coherent overall design.
