Other outdoor landscaping elements can include water features, a patio, steps/levels or a beautifully paved path or seating.  Birdbaths, squirrel feeders, raised flower beds or large potted plants can add other interesting elements and pops of color to complete the landscape plan.  A professional landscaping company such as PG Landscaping & Paving can help you with key placement of trees, plants, gardens and paving elements to complete a well thought out landscape plan to keep maintenance to a minimum and a great use of space at optimal levels.

Adding extra space and taking the indoors outside is a very appealing bonus for any homeowner.  When space inside may be limited or crowded, opening up the doors and moving a social gathering outside is literally a breath of fresh air.  Adding a beautifully paved patio space gives you the room to enjoy a barbecue or just sit outside and enjoy the beautiful garden and other landscaping features.  Add in your own design touches of outdoor seating, pillows and tables, and you’ve just added more space and a ton of value to your home.

Lighting is an often-overlooked landscaping element that can really add elegance or drama to the overall plan.  Based on your design and purpose for the space, solar lighting, lanterns, strategically placed accent lights can change the entire night time effect of your outdoor haven.  Choosing to highlight a patio, walkway, trees or the home itself can take a dark, cold yard and create a warm, inviting place to visit or call home.  Lighting can keep your outdoor patio well lit for added security while allowing you to enjoy the space well into the evening.
