1. Break up the space
           ...with a garden path and edgers to separate out different growing beds. This helps break up the space so that less feels like more in your design. Stepping stones in gravel or cinder are great options for those shady spots and contribute to a thoughtful and attractive area.

2. Add a visual feature
         Have you ever considered a pond? Or perhaps a fountain? Maybe an interesting statue or work of art that you take a liking to? Your outdoor space doesn't have to be 100% plants.

3. Less grass
       Even though some varieties of grass are more shade tolerant than others, all types of grass need some sun to survive. Depending on how shady your yard is, grass may not be in the cards for your design — or perfect for some areas and not ideal for others. Aggregate (gravel, rock, cinder) and shade-tolerant groundcovers can be an excellent solution if you still want to fill the space with low-lying greenery.

Tried and true design techniques, paired with your professional landscaper's knowledge of plants that will thrive in your specific setting, will have your space transformed in no time.

Water conservation is a big topic. There is always a drought somewhere on our fragile planet.

Did you know that landscape irrigation can takes up 30-50% of household water usage? A drip irrigation system can be a great way to not only cut down on water waste, but also on your household water costs. It will pay for itself in no time!

The benefits of drip irrigation don't just stop at your wallet. Your plants will benefit as well, especially if you have plants mixed together with different watering needs. Your landscape professional can help set up your drip irrigation system with emitters to provide each plant their specific watering needs. This ensures that the plants that need a little extra water don't go thirsty, while other plants aren't drowned.

 These systems aren't always a "one and done" project. Your system may need to be adjusted to compensate for plant growth. It may also need to be flushed once in awhile. It all depends on the contents of your local water supply.

Drip systems can be added to any existing irrigation system. They can even be added to your exterior potted plants as a great hand-watering time saver!
