🌿 The Art of Landscape Design: Turning Outdoor Spaces Into Living Masterpieces
When you think about curb appeal, relaxation, and creating the perfect environment to enjoy the outdoors — it all starts with landscape design. Whether you’re dreaming of a lush backyard retreat, a functional garden space, or a stylish front yard that turns heads, great design brings your outdoor vision to life.
But what exactly is landscape design — and why does it matter?
🎨 What Is Landscape Design?
Landscape design is the process of planning, organizing, and enhancing outdoor spaces to make them beautiful, functional, and sustainable. It blends architecture, horticulture, and environmental science to shape everything from gardens and patios to walkways, retaining walls, and water features.
A great landscape design isn’t just about plants — it’s about creating a harmonious experience that works with your lifestyle and the natural surroundings.
