Adding Finishing Touches to Your Landscape Design
Picking up from last week’s blog on making a landscape plan for your new construction home, let’s consider some additional touches.

Entertaining and Dining
If creating a space for entertaining guests or enjoying family time outdoors is a priority, consider some landscaping elements that promote comfort and functionality. A deck or patio with a comfortable seating area along with a gazebo or pergola enhances the gathering place for dining, entertaining and relaxing.
Privacy and Seclusion
Having a private sanctuary in your own backyard can help you escape from the world and enjoy peace and tranquility. By incorporating tall hedges or privacy shrubs can act as natural barriers from street views and neighbours. Adding a wooden fence adds rustic charm and provides the perfect spot for climbing vines. There are many types of privacy screens made from bamboo, fabric or metal which can serve as both decorative elements and privacy walls.

Garden Zones
Depending on the size of your lot, consider breaking up the space into zones that can create visual interest and offer different experiences. A designated area for the kids to play or an area for growing your own vegetables and herbs are very popular zone areas to incorporate into your design.
Lighting Design
Outdoor lighting can transform your landscape from day to night, adding both safety and ambiance. Consider the addition of string lights for a cozy atmosphere, pathway lights for illumination and spotlights to create a dramatic effect at night.

Hardscaping Features
To provide structure and durability while complementing softer plantings, consider incorporating hardscape elements into your design. Stone patios and walkways to create an attractive pathway to the zones in your design. Retaining walls define different levels on your property and raised beds and planter boxes add visual interest.
The landscaping around your new construction home plays an essential role in defining its overall aesthetic and functionality. You can create a landscape that complements and enhances the beauty of your new property for years to come.
