With Americans spending an average of 17 hours a day at home – even more since the rise of remote work – it's no wonder that creating an at-home sanctuary has become a top priority! Your home and landscape should be a source of pride, joy, and well-being. Investing in a custom landscape design can bring you more than just a beautiful yard; it can enhance your lifestyle in ways you might not even expect.
Whether you have a small home, a large estate, commercial project or community space, we can do it all! Check out this post featuring Wacca Pilatka on Season 3, Episode 10 of Flip My Florida Yard to see how a custom landscaping plan can transform your space and quality of life. For another major makeover, take a peek at this post to read about the improvement a small native and Florida-friendly garden made to an urban setting at CoRK Arts District.
Let's explore the numerous advantages of consulting a professional for your landscape design and installation.
Increased Property Value:
Your home's curb appeal sets the tone! A well-designed landscape has the power to elevate your properties’ first impression while also significantly increasing its market value and sellability. Potential buyers are drawn to properties that are inviting and well maintained.

2. Functional Outdoor Living Spaces:
Functional outdoor living spaces can become an extension of your home to the outdoors! Whether this is in the form of a patio, seating area for gathering, fire pit or dedicated areas for hobbies, a professional landscape design can transform your outdoor space into an area for entertainment, relaxation or play.

3. Enhancing Quality of Life:
In our modern society, it has become ever more difficult to disconnect from our everyday lives of constant emails, social media, technology, etc. Imagine being able to easily escape to your own personal sanctuary right in your own backyard or having a community bulit around native habitat. Reconnect with nature, spend more time with family and friends, and create a moment to slow things down.

4. Environmental Benefits:
Functional landscape design also includes creating a landscape that is healthy and beneficial to the environment. This means creating a low-input landscape that requires minimal fertilizer, less water, and fewer pesticides while providing ecological value to wildlife through native plants and Florida friendly practices. To learn about how these elements can benefit your landscape, take a look at our past blog article “From a Green Desert to a Biodiverse Habitat: How Native Plants Can Bring Life to Your Yard.”
6. Adding Your Own Personal Style:
The interior space of your home is a reflection of you and your landscape is no different. Let your vibrant personality or your minimalistic approach show itself in your outdoor space! We are experts in crafting unique landscape designs that fit your lifestyle!

Bonus Points:
Increased privacy: Everyone loves a little privacy. A well designed landscape will enhance the appearance of your property but also hide unsightly structures and block the view of neighboring homes.
Reduced noise pollution: Increased vegetation, particularly in the form of hedges and trees will reduce surrounding noise, creating a sense of solitude in your landscape.
Improved air quality: More plants equals more oxygen and improved air quality around your home.
