Designing and building your dream backyard can completely change the ambiance of your entire home. Design Build landscaping companies offer a wide variety of amazing features that can transform a boring backyard into an amazing ‘outdoor living space’. Hardscape features include patios, retaining and seating walls, outdoor lighting, fire pits, and more. Landscape features (also called softscaping) can include the planting of native plants, additional planting beds, native grasses and more.
Amazing landscapes start with great design that emphasizes functionality, comfort and beauty. Here are four landscape design ideas for your Spring City or Chester Springs home’s landscaping.
Fire Pits and Fireplaces
Everyone loves gathering around a fire pit for both its looks and warmth.
Nothing brings family and friends together in the outdoors like a fire feature. Fire features offer our clients a comfy, cozy way to continue to spend their time outdoors throughout the cooler spring and fall weather not to mention the great focal point it makes in the landscape. A fire pit or fireplace in your backyard can transform an ordinary patio into an incredible outdoor living and gathering place.

Updated Outdoor Lighting
Lighting and walkway installation in Pottstown, East Coventry, PA
It’s smart to maximize the use of your outdoors well into the evening hours. LED landscape lighting is the best way to achieve that right outdoor lighting. Moonlighting or spotlighting can create drama with your landscape features. Basically, you can use a spotlight for any part of your yard or patio that you want to feature or illuminate. Installing lights low to the ground level can help increase safety on walkways and patios.

Water Features
Studies have shown that the sound of trickling water adds a sense of tranquility and relaxation.
Water features have been around for while, but a growing demand for this type of enhancement has increased. The presence and sound of water near a patio is restorative, refreshing, and relaxing…especially in this digital world we live in. There are several types of water features you can use to revitalize your landscape: bubblers, ponds, waterfalls and pondless waterfalls.
