Essential design features of the best front and backyard designs by Philadelphia landscapers, such as Aardweg Landscaping, include many things. Three things are especially important: a cohesive design style, forms that reflect the architectural style of the home, and a clear and well-defined circulation pattern through the grounds. There are many other important features and design ideas, we mention a few here for your enjoyment.

Intimate and Private Areas for the Family to Enjoy
Develop a woodsy retreat or private garden area to ensure privacy for outdoor enjoyment. Using different sizes and shapes of evergreens, you can pair a tall spruce tree with some round cypress bushes and you have plenty of cover for birds, rabbit and squirrel. A privacy hedge can also be added to block views from the street while giving the illusion that you are deep in the country.

Landscape Designs Complement the Residential Architecture
When it comes to professional-looking landscaping, the design should reflect your home’s architecture and your own personality. For this reason, front and backyard designs by Philadelphia landscapers can include a number of elements when creating precisely the right style.

Fruit Trees and Much More!
You don’t need an orchard in order to enjoy a fruit garden. One can easily be designed using blueberry and strawberry bushes along with some dwarf apple or pear trees. It can be created on a patio or balcony, making it ideal even for city dwellers. The sky’s the limit when you consider your options–a fairy-tale garden can work well with a cottage style home. A few window boxes bursting with color can help accentuate your structure, while some smaller shrubs and potted plants will show off your porch or sidewalk nicely.

Front and backyard designs by Philadelphia landscapers can incorporate a wide range of garden styles, whether you are planning a formal or informal garden. Feel free to browse through our Main Line landscaped gardens portfolio to get ideas, and then mesh them together into a design that is as interesting and unique as you are.
