Social Landscaping: Spaces of Connection

Landscape design is about so much more than just flower, hardscape, and plant installations; rather, landscaping can create a serene space where friends and family can gather. If you are seeking a place that brings people closer, here are five ways that you can create a social landscaping space.

One: Back Porch Dining

Achieving a beautifully designed dining area where you can grill, eat, talk, and gather with friends will change your dinner parties and barbecues forever. The cultivation of this space often involves a landscaped hardscape surrounded by beautiful plant life. Imagine yourself sitting around a table, outdoors and surrounded by nature as you enjoy time together.

Two: Benched Sitting Area

Take a rest and catch up with your partner at a seating area situated against the beautiful backdrop of your own yard. These paved garden walkways, welcoming benches, and stunning floral arrangements seem like a picture out of a book, but they are easily accessible with the right landscaping help. Take a seat and enjoy the best that nature has to offer. You can enjoy a space of both retreat and connection with a landscaped garden bench area.

Three: Clean, Attractive, and Spacious Yard

Let the children run wild through your clean, landscaped yard as you catch up with neighbors and friends. A trim yard is the ideal space for friendly games of football, soccer, frisbee, and more. As you let loose and enjoy the great outdoors, you might find that the perfect adventure exists within the limits of your own backyard. Your plant maintenance and care is an excellent talking point, as beautiful, landscaped yards can be difficult to come across.

Four: Garden Walkway

Enjoy the company of nature or your cherished ones as you walk the lengths of your own lively garden. These soothing pathways provide the perfect retreat for your evening strolls and conversations. You might choose a perennial garden lined with flowers or a formal garden with shapes and symmetry. You might even consider incorporating a water feature, such as a landscaped fountain or waterfall, which will provide the soothing sound of running water and a tranquil ambiance. A garden walkway is the perfect landscaped place to enjoy company or simply gather your thoughts.

Five: Poolside Flora

Pools are a great way to entertain the children, but these spaces are optimized when they are accompanied by a space for parents to enjoy as well. You can catch up while you an eye on the kids from the comfort of a poolside hammock or tan in a relaxing outdoor chair. Landscaping can give you the beautiful poolside retreat where you can gather with your loved ones.
