Enhance Your Philadelphia Residential Curb Appeal with a Beautiful Mailbox Garden Area

You don’t have to have a large area to work with in order to create a welcoming garden design. At Aardweg Landscaping, we can create an exiting mailbox garden that will give your yard visual interest while also enhancing curb appeal.

Mailbox Garden Design Ideas

You mailbox garden can be as simple or elaborate as you dare. Any element used in traditional landscaping projects can also be used to create a mailbox garden. You can create a simple flower garden using colorful specimens such as Gerber daisies, chrysanthemum and peony for an informal look. A more formal garden could be planned with the use of flowering shrubs, hostas and ivy with a few marigolds or petunias sprinkled in for color.

Why not consider garden design that gives the illusion of a wooded area? Use ferns along with bleeding heart and foam flower to create dense foliage that will remind you of a walk in the forest. A romantic garden full of daylillies and roses might be ideal if you are trying to complement one of the Main Line’s cottage-style houses.

A mailbox garden doesn’t have to consist of only plants. You can always incorporate landscape features such as solar lighting, gazing balls or birdhouses to set off your mailbox nicely. Surround your garden with brick pavers, vinyl fencing or natural stone to help tie the garden design together and give it a distinct border.

Experience You Can Trust

When you’re ready to plan a new mailbox garden, contact Aardweg Landscaping. We have more than 35 years worth of experience providing landscaping services to customers in Philadelphia and other Main Line cities such as Rosemont, St. Davids, Swarthmore, Villanova, Wayne and Wynnewood.

Formal Entertaining

For many, backyard summer fun means lots of barbeques or late evenings sitting around a fire pit. Formal entertaining requires a touch of elegance when it comes to planning the design. We can help you choose just the right plants to accent your seating area, and a few examples would be large potted ferns or miniature palm trees.

An informal seating area could be a better choice if you simply want a quiet place to relax and enjoy conversation. In that case, some window boxes full of bleeding heart, petunia or ivy might complement your outdoor decor nicely.

Backyard landscaping ideas should make the most of your natural surroundings, which is why those in wooded areas may want to develop a rustic look on their patio. Some boxwood or evergreen shrubs and a hosta garden are excellent ways to do this.

If you like something a little out of the ordinary, why not choose plant specimens from different parts of the world? You could combine banana plant, cactus, and bonsai plants together for a stunning garden design that would truly be one-of-a-kind.

Backyard Designs For Your Main Line Philadelphia Home

Do you ever find it difficult to envision the potential that your backyard holds? You have a lot of great ideas, but just can’t seem to visualize how your backyard designs will look when they are implemented.

Picture-Perfect Backyard Designs
You’ll be better able to visualize your finished backyard designs if you are able to see a picture of them beforehand. Thanks to photographic image design, you can do exactly that. This technology allows us to take a concept and then produce an image of what the final result might be. By doing so, you are in a better position to suggest changes in order to create the look you are striving to achieve.

Outdoor Rooms and Hardscaping
Another way we can help you make the most of your outdoor living space is by creating “outdoor rooms” and hardscaping. Hardscaping is an aspect of backyard design that involves the creation of “hard” features such as retaining walls, stairs, patios and sidewalks. When balanced with the right types of plants, hardscaping can help you turn space that is otherwise dull and lifeless into a peaceful oasis you will enjoy spending time in. Aardweg Landscaping can also help you create outdoor living space such as patios and pergolas in order to provide an area for entertaining guests while also increasing property values.

At Aardweg Landscaping, we have over 35 years of experience creating backyard designs for residents in the Main Line area. Whether you have a large or small project in mind, we can help you achieve the right look to complement your home. See for yourself what satisfied customers in Main Line communities such as Haverford, Malvern, Media, Narberth, Paoli, Rosemont, and St. Davids love about our backyard design services by asking us for a free consultation using our email contact form, or by calling 610.355.0703.

If you’ve been thinking about a new garden design, now is the time to contact Aardweg Landscaping. With more than 35 years of experience in the Main Line area, we know exactly how to create a landscape design that will highlight the charming architecture and natural beauty that Philadelphia is known for.

What’s Behind the Design Process?

Landscape design begins with a survey of your property so we can see what features might be best to highlight. We’ll also talk with you in order to find out about your lifestyle and the goals you have for your garden. After that, we’ll give you a rough sketch and talk about some of the ways your garden would be maintained so you can be sure you are making the right choices.

Here in Philadelphia, several different types of gardens work well with the terrain and architecture of local buildings. The style of home and residential area can play a part in the type of landscape design we recommend. Formal gardens are ideal for historic homes, while informal or nature-inspired ones could be a better choice for cottage-style homes. In some cases, we might recommended a blend of formal and informal styles to help you maintain the most pleasing aesthetics for your yard.

No matter which style you choose, we can make the design appear to be endlessly flowing or have distinct areas for flowers, shrubs or small trees. The sky is the limit when it comes to landscape design, and our expert technicians will help you choose the best plants based upon your soil type and the amount of sunlight available.

Main Line Philadelphia Landscape Lighting Design Ideas

For many home and business owners who take the time to create a gorgeous landscape, showing it off is half of the fun. Why let the gorgeous appeal of your home go dark at sunset when you can create a landscape lighting design that showcases your most attractive architectural and lawn features, even in the darkest hours?

When it’s done properly, landscape lighting can turn your dark outdoor space into a 24-hour oasis. Flood lighting is popular for putting the “spotlight” on favored landscaping and architectural elements in the front of a home or business, making it stand out on a block that is likely filled with darkened facades, but the backyard can benefit from an illuminated touch, also.

With pole lighting that casts a soft glow over your outdoor water feature or an upward bullet light that showcases the ravishing red of your Japanese maple tree, illuminating your lawn or garden is a great way to add both value and beauty to your home or business. Mounted pathway, staircase and planting bed lighting can assist visitors in finding their way safely to your doorstep, as well.

There are relatively few necessities for a landscape lighting design, but it is important to understand the complexities of electrical components. The low-voltage systems that are common in today’s landscape lighting are safer than 120-volt systems, but improper installation can cost time, money and headaches. Solar and LED systems are also available, though they cost more to create. A professional landscaper can help you integrate the gorgeous lighting of your choice, and you won’t have to lift a finger to start enjoying the benefits of a glowing evening landscape.

Aardweg Landscaping has served the Philadelphia area for more than 30 years. Our team of landscaping professionals can create a custom lighting design for your landscape, offering superlative customer service every step of the way. We proudly serve homes and businesses along the Main Line, including the communities of Haverford, Malvern, Media, Narberth, Paoli, Rosemont, and St. Davids. Contact Aardweg Landscaping today to learn about our services by using our online contact form, or by calling 610.355.0703.
