Landscaping Birmingham Alabama
There are hundreds of professional lawn contractors whose main vision is landscaping Birmingham Alabama. With warm temperatures for half the year, Birmingham boasts an ideal climate for beautiful landscape. Many homeowners have no idea as to how much value landscaping adds to the home or property. A beautiful landscape can greatly decrease the amount of time a home is on the market for those wishing to sell.
A landscape well done creates a setting for the home that compliments and enhances the architecture. The landscape contributes not only to the appearance of the home, but also adds great value. A well designed, well executed and maintained landscape can add anywhere from 10 to 30 percent to a property’s value according to real estate appraisers.
Skilled professional landscape architects understand how to select and position plants and paved areas to create an attractive and functional landscape that enhances the home. These professionals also understand how to integrate the soft scape (plant materials) with the hardscape (patios, fences, fountains) into an outdoor space that flows.
A professional landscape design can increase your outdoor living space by creating private places for relaxing and entertaining. If you the homeowner wants to enjoy his or her property to the fullest, landscaping can create outdoor spaces that fulfill many of the same basic needs as the rooms in the home. The design can create areas for relaxation, recreation, entertainment, cooking, dining, and even storage.
Landscaping also improves both the indoor and outdoor climates by moderating sun and wind. Large trees can be placed in such a way as to shade the home from the harshest summer heat which reduces the cost of electricity. Landscape can also reduce storm water runoff which aids in preventing local flooding.
The benefits of a well maintained, beautiful landscape are endless. When the outdoor spaces of the home are beautiful and healthy, family members are more likely to spend time outside which promotes an active lifestyle. And, most importantly, a beautiful environment in which to entertain and relax has been found to greatly reduce stress.
