Landscape lighting will enhance the beauty of your home and landscape after the sun has gone down, and allow you to enjoy your landscape anytime of the day. A professional outdoor lighting system will transform your home and make your property more attractive and valuable, while increasing security and safety to hazardous areas like steps or stairs. If you spend most of daylight hours away from your home, you might want to consider installing outdoor lighting to extend the time you are able to enjoy the outdoors after dark.

If you long for the lake or the ocean, why not consider a water garden in your back yard? Imagine the view and sounds of a waterfall, a meandering creek, fish swimming in the water and beautiful plants without having to leave town. A space like this in your own backyard can become a refuge at the end of a busy day, a place to relax and a great place for kids to play and enjoy nature. Smaller yards might not have enough space for a natural water garden, so a small fountain might be a great alternative.

The outdoor space of your home deserves as much consideration as the indoor does. The Ken Helmlinger Company is committed to creating distinctive and functional designs. A professionally designed landscape plan is always a good investment, and it will save you money in the long-term. A well-designed outdoor area can add curb appeal and significant value to your home, as well as many hours of family enjoyment and entertainment possibilities. Having a thought out landscape plan to refer to will eliminate double efforts, simplify maintenance work and ensure the success of your landscape.

After a new landscape is installed, it will require care on a regular basis. How frequently you need to take care of it will depend on the size, elements and plant materials used. In addition to mowing, simple landscapes may require only a spring cleanup, trimming and weed control in the summer, and a leaf cleanup in the fall. More extensive landscapes will need more frequent care. A Spring Cleanup will include edging, cleaning, weeding and mulching of landscape beds. Any required pruning or trimming of plants will be done, and a pre-emergent herbicide will be applied to prevent new weed seeds to germinate.

What does landscaping mean? To the Ken Helmlinger Company, landscaping means creating and taking care of our clients' outdoor spaces. We specialize in residential landscape services and are committed to providing the best service and best quality products available, for any size project, with a special attention to detail. Some people might think of landscaping as mowing the lawn or trimming shrubs, but there is much more to landscaping than that. Landscaping is a science, and an art. Building outdoor spaces involves a variety of technical skills, often underestimated by the untrained eye.
