1 Consult a landscape design professional
When planning your landscaping it is best to utilize a professional landscaping company that has expert landscape designers on staff. While you could very possibly put together a sufficient and even attractive landscape on your own there are additional factors such as climate, drainage, regulations, HOA requirements, and more that need to be considered. A landscape design professional can ensure you get both the aesthetic you are looking for with lasting functionality.
2 Consider long term
Las Vegas has an unforgiving climate. Be sure to talk to your landscape professional about the implications of the climate on your las vegas landscape. It is important to choose materials, plants and trees that can withstand the harsh heat of Las Vegas. Wether you decide to go with a desert landscape for instance or potentially a modern landscape with artificial grass your landscaping company can ensure the right materials are used to give you long term enjoyment out of your beautiful new yard.
3 Think of your landscape project as an investment.
A beautiful landscape can potentially increase the value of your home. Your landscaping project should be thought of as both a luxury and an investment. If you decide to sell your home in the future a welcoming front yard and gorgeous back yard may just be what clenches the sale. Wether you decide to sell or not having a lasting landscape adds both beauty and value to your home.
4 Plan for minimal maintenance.
Just like an investment your new landscape needs to be maintained and nurtured. It may be wise to choose a landscape design that requires as little maintenance as possible. Even if you have the time now to put hours each day into maintaining your landscape you never know what will happen in the future. By choosing a design with limited maintenance requirements you will not only save money long term but you will also keep your investment safe by ensuring it lasts if you don’t have the time or money to take care of heavy maintenance.
5 Make your dream yard come to life.
Wether you dream of coming home to a sanctuary where you can escape the world or a place to entertain don’t put limits on your dream. Consider that this may be what you come home to for years to come. Do you want to have a fire pit? A water feature such as a fountain? A built in bbq? Are you planning a pool for the future? Of course cost is a consideration, however your landscape is an emotional and material investment. Get it done right. The first time.
