The right landscaping options can raise your property value, make your outdoor space more inviting, and even save you money. But, because there are so many different directions to choose from, it can be difficult to know how to start planning your outdoor remodel.
Our team at US Turf TX has worked with Austin homeowners and business owners to transform their outdoor area into the perfect social gathering spot, home sport arena, doggy paradise and more. And here are a few trends that we think will make you feel excited about breaking ground!
Every year, we get more and more requests for landscaping options that are centered around health and wellness. Whether it’s a business looking to create a tranquil break area for their employees or homeowners interested in working out in the backyard, there are so many ways that the right outdoor design can promote wellbeing.
If, for instance, you’re looking to create a more meditative atmosphere in your space, you might consider installing a Zen garden or incorporating a water feature that can still the mind. Planting native grasses or shrubs around the perimeter of your outdoor space can also create a sense of ease while inviting local fauna, such as butterflies and birds, to visit.
Or, if you’re hoping to encourage more movement and physical exercise, you can install an at-home training ground with artificial turf tailored to your training goals. Whether you’re interested in yoga, soccer, golf, or weight-lifting, the right artificial grass design can provide you with the perfect training grounds right outside your door.
Another landscaping trend that’s taking off is designing your outdoor space around your family’s lifestyle! And there are so many different ways to think about landscaping in this way.
Consider, for example, how you might design your outdoor space to encourage young kids and toddlers to spend more time outside. Having different zones, textures, play areas, and visual elements can invite them to create imaginary worlds and spend more time off-screen. This can be done with strategic hardscaping, such as eye-catching paver installation or tilework. Or, you might make use of different styles of turf to create geometric patterns or backyard games. Even older kids can be enticed to spend more time outside by installing a mini-soccer field or volleyball court.
Maybe, on the other hand, you’re looking to encourage more family meals or gatherings outside. From firepits to shaded picnic areas and more, there are many landscaping options to invite more quality time.
When we talk about family-centered landscaping, we’re thinking about safety and comfort, as well! Opting for artificial turf, for instance, can ease seasonal allergies and provide comfortable cushioning for children. We might also think about ways to make your outdoor space safer by installing fencing around fire pits or pool areas or designing play areas that can be easily seen from the backyard patio.
While we’re on the subject of family, we’re seeing a rise in landscaping options with the furry family members in mind, as well! And this is where artificial grass really shines, for a variety of reasons:
Landscaping options with pets in mind go beyond deciding between living or artificial grass. You can also incorporate elements into your outdoor remodel that prevent your pup from digging under the fence or give them plenty of spaces to relax in the shade. Dog-friendly water features are also a popular option to keep your furry friend comfortable during the warmer months of the year.
And, it’s not all about the dogs, either! Homeowners with cats, rabbits, tortoises, and other pets are looking towards landscaping design to offer their animals the chance to be safely outside in enclosed patios.
Nowadays, it feels like we’re all busier than ever, and the idea of putting in extra time and resources towards maintaining a traditional grass lawn is just not appealing to many homeowners. Luckily, there are plenty of landscaping options that take the effort out of having a beautiful outdoor space:
When planning for renovations to your property, you might be thinking about how to maximize your return on investment. And, when it comes to outdoor landscaping, there are a few changes that you can rely on to boost your property value:
Remodeling your outdoor space can be such an effective way to make your home or business more welcoming and eye-catching. Here are a few more ways that you can plan for an effective outdoor makeover:
Hiring a professional to oversee the design and installation of your outdoor space is important for a number of reasons. On the one hand, we’ll be able to give you an accurate estimate for your budget and timeline so that you can have a clear idea of what your project will entail before you get started. This will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by unexpected costs or project duration.
A professional can also help to ensure that your renovation has the highest return on investment. We’re here to take everything into consideration, including irrigation, building permits, and budgetary restrictions so that you can know that your investment will pay off. Plus, having documentation that a professional team oversaw the renovation is a huge plus for potential buyers.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice, one way to narrow down your options is to think about what will be more cost-effective over time. For instance, you might be tempted to opt for the cheaper varieties of turf, pavers, or other design elements. But, that could mean that you end up paying more over time because of ongoing maintenance or faster wear and tear.
Again, this is where having a professional involved in the process can be helpful. We can suggest materials and design elements that are most likely to provide longevity and durability over time.
One final recommendation that we make to clients is to spend time getting inspired! When you start noticing design features in your neighbor’s yard, online, or even places you’ve traveled, it will be easier to make decisions about what you like and want to incorporate in your own outdoor space.
We’re for homeowners and business owners in Austin Texas to bring your vision of the perfect outdoor space to life! We can help with artificial grass installation, paver and walkway design, sports fields, tilework and more to create an outdoor oasis for your Austin property.
