St. Louis is warming up and our calendar is filling up with big projects like creating outdoor living spaces for customers like you. If you’re thinking about an enhancement to your backyard, it’s never too early to plan. Oftentimes, most of the work goes into the design stage of any fire pit, patio or outdoor kitchen. Measurements have to be taken, materials have to be selected and estimates have to be written, before we can put your project on our work calendar. Big Bend Landscaping wants to give you the best outdoor living space possible.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your outdoor space, here’s a guide that might help you prepare for the process.
What Will Your Outdoor Living Space Look Like?
How will it function?
Firstly, how do you want to use your outdoor living space? Do you want to be able to entertain on a patio? Would you use an outdoor kitchen?
If space is an issue, consider a brick paver patio to extend your living space and add a touch of style to your yard. A well-planned area can encourage guests to linger.
Special Elements
Secondly, would you like to include special elements like a water feature or fire pit? Any special features will add value to your home and style to your outdoor living space.
Outdoor Lighting
Thirdly, have you considered outdoor lighting? Showcasing a deck or patio with lighting enhancements can increase the curb appeal of your home. It can also increase the safety and security of your property. When an afternoon barbecue turns into an evening block party, or a pool party lasts into the evening hours, outdoor lighting can safely direct guests around flower beds and stairways.
Our Team is Here to Talk You Through It
The team at Big Bend Landscaping can talk to you about using lighting to create a certain mood and look. Share your ideas with us and we can work them into your plan.
Make a Plan
You can help us create an outdoor living space for you by drawing a simple sketch of your home and outdoor living space improvement plans. This will give us some idea of what you are picturing. Be sure and measure the area you want to use and mark the location of lighting fixtures. Regarding exterior lighting, remember to address pathways and property borders. Lighting can also be used to focus on special elements like garden areas, water features or walkways. This will help you gauge what realistically can fit into your existing space.
