4 Design Features for an Elegant Landscape

December 25, 2020 by Jennifer Noyes

Homeowners often think if they don’t have an expensive and expansive home, elegant landscaping is out of the question, but nothing could be further from the truth. Landscape design does complement massive homes well, but it can also transform even the most modest dwelling. When considering elegant landscaping, there are typically four things to consider beyond a manicured lawn.


1. Shade Structure

Nothing contributes to an elegant landscape more than a shade or entertainment structure. If you want your yard to be inviting, you need to have a place for people to gather, dine, or share a laugh. Structures like canopies and pergolas add a great deal to a space, and each contributes to converting a sun-exposed lawn into a welcoming place to relax.


2. Outdoor Kitchen

If you are going to invest in a shade structure for entertainment, you should also consider installing an outdoor kitchen. Having a grill, fridge, and other kitchen essentials at your fingertips outside ensures that you don’t lose any heat plating and make everything, including prep, more streamlined.


3. Water Feature

Landscape design is about creating an elegant, functional, and relaxing space. Nothing makes people relax more than a water feature, preferably a fountain. The sound of running water is soothing for most people, and you do not have to purchase or install a marble fountain and pond to have the serenity you want; a simple wall-hung fountain can be enough.


4. Pool and Spa

If you really want the ultimate entertainer’s landscape, think about adding a pool and spa. Everyone appreciates a nice swim when the weather is warm. If you have a pool, everyone will want to come to your house to celebrate.


Landscape design is not something reserved for the wealthy. Everyone can benefit from a manicured lawn and a few ornamental additions. If you are interested in boosting your home’s curb appeal, consider the suggestions above.
