Landscape And Design Service
If there's one thing people notice first when they look at a property, it's the front yard. It’s not only the lawn they are getting a first impression of, but also the homeowner. This is especially true for those trying to sell their homes. If the yard is even, manicured, and well-landscaped, it is assumed that the interior is just as well put together. Patchy grass, weeds growing wildly, and a seemingly random layout with no sense of direction can have potential buyers thinking twice.
Japanese gardens have been around since the 6th century, and their style has been adapted. Before 1800’s, landscape design was mostly gardens and master planning, including the outdoor architecture, palaces, manor houses, religious properties, royal complexes, and government buildings. As travel became easier and people earned a better income, the use of outdoor properties changed from work to pleasure.
Today, landscaping and landscape design projects are a common undertaking by homeowners in South Florida, from sprucing up a lawn or completely designing the layout. Bringing in professionals like us at All Nix Services covers all the bases. 2020 was a year unlike any in our time due to the Covid quarantine. With the population relegated to the confines of their homes, the solitude inspired many people to spend more time outdoors, leading them to increase their livable area by using their property differently. Depending on the location of your home, and the amount of sunlight, a flower garden might be the perfect feature to make your place pop with color while creating an all-new aesthetic.
We can add a touch of elegance to your entrance with a sprawling bougainvillea or fig ivy. A flower wall is an excellent addition for turning bare stucco in a living piece of art. Adding a ficus hedge introduces greenery and also can provide some privacy. Due to the sometimes drought-like conditions we have in South Florida, our experts are well-versed in choosing the hardiest greenery. Coneflowers, catmint, and agastache are welcome, colorful additions.
Since the quarantine began, Americans have been spending an average of three more hours outside per week than they were previously. This has spiked the development of new hobbies, landscaping projects, and more ever since the lockdown started. 73% of Americans surveyed stated that they felt the increased time outdoors was therapeutic. Half of them confirmed that they had invested in new plants and outdoor seating since last year, and an average of almost $2,000 was spent on new outdoor features. At the top of the list is gardening, and “urban vegetable gardens and farms” have taken off. Eight-hundred million people worldwide practice this, and it has become a go to for relief from Covid depression. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/how-gardening-affects-mental-health
