Highlight focal points in the landscape design
No one likes monotony. Adding or accentuating interesting focal points keeps your design fresh and exciting. This might include a statue, water feature, ornate pottery or other signature piece that will evoke delight and surprise.
Add color in the landscape materials
Tasteful additions of vibrant color will make your landscape design truly stand out. Simply adding color to a canvas doesn’t make a masterpiece – but color blended and applied carefully by the practiced hand of an experienced (landscape) artist does.
Add texture to the garden landscape
Another easy Philadelphia residential landscaping design tip is to add texture to the garden landscape. This would mean the integration of lovely, wispy grasses, creeping herbs, plants of various hues, shapes and sizes, delicate vines clambering trellises, and deciduous and evergreens for all-season interest; as well as your particular choice of hardscapes used throughout your design.

Love the overall design plan
In order for you to fully appreciate your new landscape plan, you need to love the overall design. Are you happy with the shapes and forms to the garden areas? Do you like the plant selections? Does the yard work functionally for your family and entertainment plans? Make sure you are happy with all of the details before implementation begins.

Here’s what one satisfied Radnor, Pennsylvania client said about working with Steve Aardweg…
“Steve came up with such great ideas for our place. We did not know what exactly we wanted, but his experience with the whole design process made it pretty effortless. A couple of meetings, some emails and dialogue to get us all on the same page was all that it took. I really appreciated the give and take aspect, rather than having the ”design police” telling me what I should like. Love our new landscape! Thanks Steve!” – Gloria and Mark S. Radnor, PA
