When done correctly, your custom home landscaping becomes an integral addition that gives your home its impressive curb appeal. A symphony of natural beauty is created with rocks, shells, water treatments, mulch, trees, shrubs and flowers that are designed to flow together in harmony and accentuate the exterior of your beautiful home that is uniquely yours.
Landscaping Design
There is much to consider when designing your landscaping for your beautiful new custom home, and it is important to keep long-term maintenance in mind. Although we can provide beautiful turn-key landscaping solutions, sometimes landscaping ideas that look great on paper doesn’t always yield the desired affect when installed.
Here are just a few helpful considerations as you design your new landscape:
- Pair plants with similar water and light needs in areas with appropriate moisture and shade or sunlight for ideal growth.
- You may want to select plants that require minimal additional watering post-establishment.
- Keep the lawn simple, spacious for play or entertainment, but no larger than necessary.
- Leave a 2–3 ft. gap between the house and plants to reduce mold, mildew, and pests.
- Mix plant heights and shapes for added garden appeal.
- Space plants appropriately for their mature size, ensuring they have ample room to grow.
- Screen unwanted views with evergreen shrubs.
- Create a focal point with vibrant plants or ornaments, organizing key areas like entryways and patios.
Bear in mind, many new home lots throughout Central Florida have natural wetlands. These designated areas of your property will need to remain undisturbed in their natural state which will give your property a unique appearance.
