The Facade of a Project

After all the heavy lifting on any landscape, it's time to bring in a diversity of greenery and blooms marking the final steps of a project. Visionary Landscaping looks over every detail of these final steps working together with you to make sure your landscape is filled with as much, or as little, color and lively substance as you can comfortably manage. Don't overlook the importance of biodiversity to the characteristics of a landscape!

Grading, Sod, & Hydroseeding

Green side up! While it's a simple concept, it takes a combination of a fine eye and due diligence to ensure proper grading and a healthy start towards a fantastic new lawn, followed by rigorous maintenance. Hydroseeding offers the benefit of being considerably cheaper, while sod offers the desirable benefit of an instant, lush lawn.

Garden Design & Install

In addition to aesthetics, designing a garden includes factors such as available daylight hours, species intercompatibility, long-term growth of the specimens, and more. Typically, professionally designed landscape layouts comprise a ratio of plants and trees consisting of about 50% evergreen to 50% deciduous perennials, allowing for year-round color.

Maintenance-Free Landscapes

Most people prefer lush green grass and billowing color filled gardens, but it just doesn't work for everyone. Artificial lawns, carefully planned gardens, xeriscapes, and any mixture of these options can offer alternative ways to still include greenery in your landscape while minimizing or eliminating maintenance efforts.

Personalize Your Garden

Gardens can vary greatly based on personal preference, however, we think every garden should be well thought out and one-of-a-kind. Upholding this concept and approaching every project with this outlook, Visionary Landscaping will take in your ideas and interests and help narrow down the vast array of options available to add a personalized touch, making your dreamscape a reality. Ranging from minimalistic modern designs, to filled in lush gardens with a variety of breathtaking colors, garden design allows for a plethora of creativity in your landscapes finishing touches.

Protective Measures

Most gardens will start with the proper implementation of quality garden soil, landscaping fabric, and some sort of top cover which provide more contrast like mulch, decorative aggregate, or river rock. These components offer a combined effort in the control and deterrence of unwanted growth.

Continuously Green

Keeping a garden interesting year-round means including a healthy proportion of evergreen plants to deciduous perennials. Having a factor of roughly half evergreen plants, especially as the backdrop of your garden, ensures year-round interest and sets the stage for colorful perennials up front.

Dazzling Colors

Your garden doesn't have to just be a sea of green. From a plethora of pastel colors, to more vibrant pinks, blues, purples, and more, flowering plants and shrubs can come in just about any color imaginable, including a variety of white options for a more neutral look.

Charming Trees

Ornamental trees can find their way pleasantly into any garden. A few examples of specimens which offer beautiful dwarf variants include Japanese maple, weeping cherry, and eastern redbud, while evergreens like cedars and junipers offer tall and narrow weeping or conical variants.

Seasonal Blooms

Numerous plants such as aster, hostas, and rhododendron have a relatively short bloom period, while others such as tulips, iris, and daffodil will wilt away entirely after experiencing a similarly short-lived bloom. Selectively incorporated, short blooming plants can offer season-long varying interest.

Ground Coverage

Plants which offer suitable ground cover include low-lying creeping specimens such as creeping thyme and moss phlox. These plants offer a more natural look and work great for hard to maintain areas such as sloped and heavy tree covered areas, as well as between hardscaping like flagstone.

Imposing Features

Gardens are often accented by unique patterns and styles, utilizing many different plant options and other elements in the designs. These features can also include non-biological components such as boulders, flagstone, recycled glass, ornamental concrete/metal features, and more.

Dynamic Components

Common functioning aspects in a garden include decorative lighting and water related features like fountains, ponds, birdbaths, rainwater channeling, and more. Bringing more life to your garden even in the dark or in the rain, these options can greatly improve the role of your garden.

Aesthetic Layering

Using low-lying plants and features as frontage and building up to larger specimens in the back layers your garden in a way that adds depth. Combine this concept of garden design with all the other aspects like seasonal blooms, color variations, and more, for a striking overall appearance

Rockscapes

Also known as xeriscaping, rockscapes can offer an artistic twist on the idea of simple to maintain landscape designs. These designs frequently combine decorative aggregates, rocks, and boulders, accentuated by low-maintenance drought friendly plants and other incorporated features like lighting, statues, sculptures, and fountains.

Artificial Lawns

Grass is beautiful, but it is often an immense effort to keep it looking lush and healthy. Turf is available in various formats that are dog-friendly, lush and kid-friendly, and even putting green suitable. Artificial grass is an increasingly popular alternative lawn option when considering the promise of a true maintenance-free landscape.
