By Toni Vang


A home's exterior can be just as important as its interior, for many reasons. In fact, some say that it is even more important because it is for all to see. That said, it's important for homeowners to beautify the exterior. The tips below, from San Antonio landscaping design experts will ensure homeowners are guided accordingly in order to achieve this.

Whether one is living in San Antonio, TX or elsewhere in the US, it is important to keep up with the changing trends. Certainly, there are classic elements that can reduce the need to change things up drastically, and those are recommended for people on a tighter budget. That said, it's vital to start with the basics, and that might need the help of professionals to provide the wow factor everyone is seeking.

These custom plans take everything into account, including the homes architectural features and style, the neighborhood and surrounding environment, and of course, the homeowners budget. It's important for the professional to work closely with the homeowner, knowing the family's lifestyle and what they may be capable of in terms of maintenance. Since this is a garden that is continually changing and growing, there is lots of maintenance in some cases.

Should the maintenance be done by experts, then there is no question as to how elaborate the plans may be. Again, budget will play a role, and that's a factor that every expert must take into account before presenting plans. Regarding the basics, there is the hard scape, which involves pavers, concrete, asphalt, and other hard materials. Choosing the right materials is of the essence to get longevity and the perfect look.

The expert will create focal points that are areas in the yard that will attract the eye of all passersby. These can take numerous forms, like a pergola, or a bench surrounded by beautiful roses that would make an ideal corner for reading. Another focal point could be a water fountain or other water feature, that surprisingly enough these days, is very affordable.

It's always highly recommended to choose plants that are hardy to the zone, meaning they can withstand the different weather conditions typical to the area. Hardy plants provide longevity, and often don't need too much effort to maintain. One must consider the various changes each plant, tree, or shrub goes through as they are living things.

Although they might be small when first planted, they will change over time. Some grow faster than others, but they will grow eventually, as such, one has to choose them according to what they will provide for each coming year, and how they will look with the changing seasons, and from dusk to dawn.

That's why it's important to work with professionals at the start of the project, as they are familiar with the various changes, and what would look beautiful today, and in a decade from now. These experts are far more necessary than even interior designers, because of the numerous changes that occur in the living things that exist outdoors. Once they provide the bones of the garden, it's very easy for homeowners to add some personal touches, with annuals and other perennials.
