Landscape construction
Landscape construction is an umbrella term for any process that transforms the landscape. This can include the removal or installation of both hardscapes and softscapes. At Visionary Landscaping in Shelby Township, MI, we deliver customized designs and complete construction for high-quality residential and commercial outdoor enhancements.
The Elements of Landscape Construction
Landscape construction involves the altering or building of something new into an existing space to make it functional. This can happen through activities like:
- Installing new features
- Making general improvements
- Flattening land
- Raising land
- Removing old hardscape
- Removing softscape
- Improving drainage system
All these preparations make the space ready for fresh hardscaping and softscaping and the customized landscape construction plan you have with your contractors, so new structures can be built to improve functionality.
Design a Landscape Using Hardscapes and Softscapes
Outdoor design principles are like indoor design – it’s a good idea to incorporate elements of varying textures and colors to create a cohesive and pleasing landscape construction. Here are the two basic elements that make up every successful landscape design:
- Hardscape: Includes materials that are incorporated into a landscape like pavers, retaining walls, patios, fire pits, walkways, and water features.
- Softscape: Includes plants, trees, shrubs, grass, flowers, and elements that grow and change within the landscape and require regular maintenance to maintain their beauty.
Common Types of Landscape Construction
Every homeowner has a different vision for what they want for their yard. Whether it’s to improve curb appeal or expanding livable square footage into the backyard, new and unusual ideas are what make unique and creative living spaces. Commercial property owners too have specific goals for making their outdoor area appealing, usable, and easy to maintain.
Some of the most common examples of landscape construction include the installation or building of features like:
- Patio
- Retaining wall
- Fountain
- Other water features
- Walkways
- Fire pits
- Sidewalk
- Driveway
- Plant removal and installation
Enhance New Builds and Existing Structures
Landscape construction plans are a great choice for anyone who has outdoor living space to consider. From homeowners living in new builds to those in well-established houses, there is always a plan that can transform your front or back yard and deliver the ambiance you want.
The goal is to improve the functionality of the land, and you get to decide exactly the features you want to highlight and the elements you would like to have to transform your home. Many popular choices include:
- Full-sized freestanding stone fireplace
- Fountain integrated into a swimming pool
- Brick or stone stairs or walkway
- Large or small retaining wall
- Seat walls on a patio
- Stone grill or bar
Many families who live in new construction receive partial landscaping as part of their contract, but these packages don’t always include irrigation or drainage systems or level ground. Many homeowners are satisfied with these elements and prefer to wait and work with a landscape construction company to get the precise vision they want for their space.
