BACKYARD LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Outdoor Living Spaces

More often homeowners are looking at their outside spaces as extensions to their indoor living. And like your indoor space, your outdoor space can also be divided into individual rooms – all with their own unique purpose and design.

If you have a living room inside for family comfort and good conversation, why shouldn’t you have an area that fulfills the same purpose outdoors? The right landscaping design will ensure that you are able to get the most enjoyment from your time outside.

It is important to consider what activities make up your unique lifestyle so you can incorporate them into your backyard landscape design.

    OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES

    More often than ever, homeowners are looking at their outside spaces as extensions to their indoor living spaces. And like your indoor space, your outdoor space can also be divided into individual rooms – all with their own unique purpose and design.

    The right landscaping design will ensure that you are able to get the most enjoyment from your time outside. Just as a home architect can build the perfect house, Pipeline can act as a landscape architect to create the perfect outdoor living space.

    WALLS & FENCES

    Not only are fences and walls ideal for creating privacy, defining the boundaries of your landscape, and providing safety for insurance purposes, they can be beautiful assets to your outside space and are an important aspect of landscape design. There are many different styles and materials to choose from. There is the traditional white picket fence all the way to impactful stone walls.

    PATIOS & DECKS

    In the world of outdoor design, both patios and decks are used to define outside spaces and areas for activity and can often be confused with one another. If you’re not sure where to start, we have many lovely deck and patio designs to choose from.

    WALKWAYS

    Walkways help direct both physical and visual direction in your outdoor space. On their own, walkways offer their own visual value and set a mood in your outside space through color, texture, and path. Consider the difference between a walkway which creates an efficient and direct path from one area to another and a walkway that turns and curves along landscaping features. You may be surprised by the difference a walkway will make.

    ARBORS & PERGOLAS

    Considering adding an additional structure to your outdoor space? There are several options with each providing its own function and style.

    Arbors have both functional and decorative qualities. Built from wrought iron or wood, arbors are constructed of simple slatted roofs which are supported by two or four posts. Positioned over a path, they direct traffic. By supporting vining plants through an open framework, they provide shade and privacy.

    FIREPITS/OUTDOOR FIREPLACES

    Throughout history, a fire has been at the center of gathering and fellowship. Both a source of light and warmth, bringing a fire into a space creates evening appeal and a way to stay outside even when cooler temperatures start nipping at your nose.

    A permanently structured pit of brick, stone, or concrete can blend in seamlessly with patio designs and other elements, offering a comforting centerpiece for family gatherings and activities.

    WATER FEATURES

    Another element to consider including in your outdoor space: water. When seeking to create an area conducive to meditation and relaxation, a water feature is an almost essential element that can add both ambiance and help block busy street noise. With this feature, there are many options to choose from that look, sound, and feel amazing.

    POOLS

    With our hot springs and summers, our climate gives us every reason to install a pool. Sometimes you just need to hop in and cool off! While a pool can be refreshing on a hot summer day, a spa or hot tub can be warm and cozy on winter nights. Not only can a pool set a mood and become the focal point in a yard, it can enhance your existing lifestyle. If you enjoy entertaining, a pool will give you a reason to do more of it and is a sure way to draw in people to your space, especially when temperatures soar. Some smaller pool models are simply built to be enjoyed and looked at.

    LANDSCAPING

    Any beautifully designed hardscape can still appear stark without including plants as living elements. Following the completion of your hardscaping elements, you can add color, texture, shape, and fragrance with an endless combination of trees, shrubs, and blossoming flowers. Even the addition of pine needles and a few plants can make a world of difference!

    The options for landscaping services can be endless, so deciding which plants to use can be a challenge, but one we are ready to help. Beyond what plants you consider to be the most attractive, there are a number of factors to take into consideration, such as proper lawn care, colors that appeal to you, and so on.

    LIGHTING

    To prevent your well-planned outdoor space from disappearing when night falls, lighting your newly designed space is a must. Consider how lighting will affect your view from both inside and outside your home. Outdoor lighting also helps you entertain family and friends in your beautiful outdoor space.
