Everyone knows that a landscaping service can help you remodel and refresh your outdoor space by doing things like planting new trees, manicuring your existing foliage, and even helping to get your lawn healthy in the summer months. But many also overlook the versatility of a landscaping design contractor and don’t realize that they can do so much more than make your plants look healthy and full of life. If you’re considering remodeling your outdoor space, don’t do it without talking to a landscaping design contractor first. Here are just a few things that landscaping design contractors in the San Diego area can do:

Complete remodels:

Let’s say you just purchased a home and are looking to add a pool to the backyard. A landscaping design contractor will do more than just dig a hole and install a pool—they’ll treat the space like a living space that needs to have as much thought and design put into it as your interiors. Landscaping design contractors can help transform an outdoor space by installing things like a pool, living areas, and other integral parts of a garden area that turn it from an average backyard to a stunning living space you’ll want to spend your free time in.

Focus on sustainability:

One of the biggest challenges to living in Southern California is how you can have a stunning outdoor space without using water like you would in an area that isn’t constantly suffering from a draught. In Florida you can get away with having a sprawling lawn space (as long as you know how to deter snakes that like to hang out in your lawn), but in California that type of outdoor space is neither economically nor sustainably ethical to maintain. Landscaping design contractors in the San Diego area are familiar with the problems unique to the area, and can help come up with a landscape design that will take those problems into consideration. In the end, their only goal is to create a beautiful space that will not only make you feel excited to spend time in your yard, but make you feel comfortable with maintaining it as well.

Create more privacy

There is a lot of logic that goes into creating an outdoor space for your home in a way that creates the most privacy for your living space and looks appealing to the eye. Landscaping design contractors can help design an outdoor living space that maximizes privacy—either with foliage or fencing—and maximizes living space.

Often when we begin working with a client, one of their bigger concerns is that their outdoor space isn’t private enough for them to want to spend a significant amount of time in. However, with the right expertise and enough planning, landscaping design contractors can help bring a space to life in ways that you would never even imagine were possible.
