4 Signs That You Need Landscape Maintenance

If you have a wide range of different plants, hardscapes, or water features in your yard, you might be overwhelmed when thinking of the care and attention they need to thrive. Are you wondering whether or not your yard could use landscape maintenance? Here are the top four signs that you need this professional landscaping service. Philadelphia garden

1. You Have A Hard Time Keeping Flora Alive

Perhaps most obvious, landscaping maintenance is most essential for individuals who have a difficult time keeping flora alive. Keeping up with the care your plants need can be challenging, especially without the expensive tools and extensive knowledge of an expert. With decades of experience understanding and managing the plant life native to your area, a professional landscaper has the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to not only keep your plants alive but give them the care and attention they need to thrive.  a walkway lined with flowers and plants

2. Your Yard Experiences Overgrowth

Conversely, certain plant life in the right conditions can take over your entire yard. This can lead to aesthetic problems as your garden transforms into something unrecognizable. Depending on your homeowner’s association and regulations in your area, greenery overgrowth can also lead to hefty fines for failing to adhere to homeowner’s requirements. In the worst-case scenario, overgrowing plants can also deplete the resources in your garden, negatively impacting your other plants and your landscaping composition as a whole. By limiting overgrowth, a landscaping professional can prevent these issues from taking over your outdoor space.  Philadelphia garden with purple flowers and clean bush designs

3. You Dislike Yard Work

What brought you to your intricate landscape investment? Was it the peace it brought you, or perhaps the attractive aesthetic? Chances are, you were not inspired to invest in a stunning outdoor space for the joys of yard work. Without adequate care, your happy place can become a source of stress. If you dislike putting in the laborious yard work that comes with landscaping care, professional maintenance is your one-stop solution. You can enjoy all of the benefits of an intricate outdoor space without having to put in any of the dirty work.  Mixed border landscaping maintenance

4. Your Yard Has Variety

Landscaping care is not often one-size-fits-all work. Understanding the unique needs of all of the different plants in your yard and taking the time to tend to them is no small task. Much like this Wynnewood, PA composition, proper landscaping maintenance can keep your plants looking better each year. Maintenance is also essential for protecting varying elements in your outdoor space, such as hardscapes and water features. A landscaping professional will look for signs of damage for early detection of your hardscapes. Maintenance comprehensively protects your landscaping investment.

Landscaping Gifts You Can Give Your Loved Ones

Have you ever loved someone who seems to have almost everything? Whether you are in need of a gift or thoughtful gesture for a loved one, landscaping offers the perfect solution. Here are landscaping gifts you can consider for that special someone who is especially hard to buy for. 

Consultation and Landscape Design

If you want to give the gift of a beautiful landscape but you don’t know where to start, a landscaping consultation is an ideal way to assess the scenic preferences of your parent, sibling, spouse, or friend. During a consultation, an expert landscaper will assess their outdoor space to provide recommendations on what they believe needs to be done. Your expert will also hear about their visions for the space and work with them to arrive at the ideal design. This gift lets you know that your loved one gets exactly what they want.

Outdoor Maintenance

If your loved one reluctantly spends endless hours each summer caring for their outdoor space, landscaping maintenance is the gift of both well-maintained space and more time to do what they love. Your expert landscaper will visit to assess their plants and give them the care they need. This will give your loved one the peace of mind that their plants are cared for and a stunning outdoor space.

Water Feature

Diverse enough to meet the needs of a wide range of preferences and styles, a new water feature offers an ideal landscaping gift that your loved one can enjoy for years to come. Outdoor ponds, close-looked waterfalls, natural-looking streams, and elegant fountains are the perfect addition to any yard. Gifting someone a water feature is the present of tranquility and peace. Both attractive and functional, water features offer relaxing sounds and a beautiful appearance for them to enjoy. 

Garden Walkway

Your outdoor pathway is how you start and end each day. This project can be as large or as small as you hope to make it. On a smaller scale, such as adding a few plants to the border of an existing walkway. You can also go so far as to create an entirely new pathway hardscape with abundant and diverse plant life. This Wayne, PA walkthrough garden is just one attractive example of how you can transform the walkway of your loved one. What better gift than walking through a lined pathway of flowers and bright greenery.

Six Signs You Need an Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen is a hardscape installation that can revolutionize your home and your cooking experience. Are you wondering, “Do I need an outdoor kitchen?” The experts at Aardweg Landscaping know a thing or two about these hardscape designs and installations. Here are the six signs that an outdoor kitchen is right for you!

1. You are Looking For an Easy Way to Make Healthier Foods

In addition to upgrading your outdoor space, an outdoor kitchen gives you an easy way to enhance healthy food preparation. Opposed to a frying pan, grilling outdoors allows more of the fat drip off of your favorite foods. It also gives you a new way to enjoy already-healthy foods like vegetables by adding a flavorful layer of smokiness.

2. You Want To Improve Cooking Experience

Cooking indoors can be cramped and hot, especially during the summer months. Let the steam roll away when you cook outdoors. Additionally, some foods carry strong smells, which can get trapped indoors when you cook. These odors can linger for days, altering the environment in your home and attracting critters from outside. An outdoor kitchen is ideal for the exploratory cook who wants the best of both worlds. This investment improves your cooking experience while leaving your home unaffected.

3. You Want to Increase the Retail Value of Your Home

When you invest in an outdoor kitchen, you get to enjoy this beautiful and practical space for as long as you live in your home. However, this investment continues to benefit you even as you move away. An outdoor kitchen will attract homebuyers and increase the retail value of your home. This means that you are likely to receive a return on your outdoor kitchen investment.

4. You Consider Yourself a Grilling Expert

A master on the grill deserves a masterful kitchen. Instead of transitioning between inside and outside while grilling, you can have everything you need conveniently organized in your outdoor kitchen. This will make your job at the grill easier and more enjoyable. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the grilling aficionado in your life, an outdoor kitchen is an ideal place to start.

5. You Like To Spend As Much Time as Possible Outdoors

Outdoor seating space

If the only thing you love more than preparing food is the great outdoors, then you can combine these two favorites with an outdoor kitchen. Outdoor kitchens are perfect for chefs who would stay outdoors all day if they could. Take in the view of your stunning landscape while doing one of the things you love most: cooking on the grill.

6. You are the Go-To Party Host

If your home is the popular spot for family and friends to gather, an outdoor kitchen can provide the perfect space to facilitate your dinner parties and other events. For homes with a beautiful landscape design that is still missing something a little more conventional, an outdoor kitchen might be just what you need. An outdoor kitchen allows you to prepare food while remaining in the center of the excitement.

Internationally-Inspired Landscaping

Landscape patterns often capture the culture, history, and ambiance of any given place. This makes landscaping the perfect canvas for people who are missing a place they love. With the right help, you can recreate the look and feel of your favorite spots on earth. Whether you would like to be spending your days in a European courtyard or a Japanese garden, these landscaping compositions can take you around the world when you step into your backyard. Here are some internationally-inspired compositions to consider during your next visit with a landscaping professional.

English Garden

Travel to the heart of the UK with a traditional English garden. English gardens are usually marked by stunning perennials and inviting greenery.

Japanese Garden in Philadelphia

With the tranquility of a Japanese garden, you will bring the ancient art of peace to your backyard. These gardens are often defined by their sense of balance and zen. The exact composition of your Japanese garden will depend on the arrangement that makes you feel happy and calm. You might even consider a water feature such as a koi pond to complete the traditional feel of this installation.  

European Courtyard

A European courtyard landscaping installation will most certainly transport you to your favorite spot on the continent. Imagine yourself sipping tea and enjoying the company of your loved ones while surrounded by the beauty of nature. This complex landscape design requires both hardscape and flora knowledge, but it is well worth it for results like these. European courtyards are popular across the continent, so you can imagine yourself in Italy, England, or wherever your happiest place may be.

4 Landscaping Treatments to Consider in the New Year

2020 brings a new year and decade of opportunity for your outdoor space. For many people, the new year is all about a fresh start and new beginnings. This opportunity for renewal extends to your landscape as well. With these four landscaping treatments, you can breathe new life into your garden, yard, and outdoor space.

Irrigation Systems

Keep your plants alive with the convenient assurance and support of a built-in irrigation system. While an irrigation system might sound like an advanced installation designed for only the most prominent gardeners, it is actually a common and accessible way to keep your landscape vibrant. This consistent source of water for your plants can help keep them thriving year-round. With the proper care and maintenance, you can ensure that your outdoor space always has the water it needs. 

A wide variety of colorful flora

Garden Renewal and Seasonal Planting

Some plants are more difficult to take care of than others. Did your flora look healthy last bloom or like it was on the verge of survival? If you have not given your plants the consistent care they need, they may not come back to life this spring. Thankfully, a garden renewal is designed to bring it back to life! If you find that you are in need of a garden renewal or seasonal plants, consider making this a 2020 priority.

Soil Amendment

Set your plants up for success in 2020 with proper soil care. While it is often considered common knowledge that plants need the right amount of water and sunlight to grow, the same is true for soil nutrients. Not providing enough soil nutrients can leave your plants weak and yellowing. On the flip side, providing your plants with too much of these nutrients can impact your water supply as these extra materials are absorbed by groundwater or runoff into local streams. By allowing a local professional to amend your dried and depleted soil with the right amounts of fresh, nutrient-rich soil, you can help your plants support new growth and life.

Trimming, Pruning, and Cleaning

While trimming, pruning, and cleaning may sound like purely aesthetic maintenance routines, they also play a major role in keeping your plants healthy. These services provide your plants with a strong foundation to grow in the right directions. Keep your plants healthy and attractive this year with these services.

Local Landscaping Experts

Each of these maintenance services can be provided by a local landscaping professional. Are you thinking of making a landscaping change this year? The professionals at Aardweg Landscaping have the skills, knowledge, and experience to breathe a new life into your outdoor space. We proudly serve residents in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Suburban Philadelphia, along the Main Line, and beyond! Contact our experts to get started today.
