Quality Landscaping Is Mostly Unseen

Quality Landscaping Is Mostly Unseen

This is an elegant outdoor room setting including blue stone patio. Most of what makes this a quality landscaping is unseen.

When people admire some one’s yard, they tend to notice the beautiful flowers, lush green lawns, beautiful patios and so on. , While the garden may be absolutely stunning, the true quality of what you see in the garden is unseen in most landscaping and often underground. Take for example paver patio installation. Without proper excavation, fabric cloth, gravel and compaction, the paver patio will tend to slip and sag in places over time. True quality landscape contractors would install the patio as per specifications. Most of the work for paver installation is in the base. If the base can stand the test of time, the patio most likely would also. The same is true in composite and wood decks, concrete installations and retaining walls. Without the proper levels and strong foundations installed, a quality project can’t be constructed properly.

Another example of unseen quality landscape work, is landscape drainage. Without quality landscape drainage, foundations can crumple, plants die and erosion is quite possible. Good drainage ensures part of the quality of well constructed landscaping projects and yet, it is unseen. Soil preparation is paramount to quality landscaping. Why do so many folks who buy a spec home soon replace their lawns? Mostly, it is because of the poor or even no soil preparation that happened before the lawn installation. Don’t get me wrong, landscapers would love to get more money to properly install spec. homes, but builders hold them to the wall on prices. They are typically the last man in and the budgeted money to construct the house has been used. Builders on the most part don’t want to spend the necessary money on quality landscaping. You get what you pay for.

One more fairly big ticket quality landscape item that is mostly unseen, is irrigation.
