Watching and listening to water cascade down over a waterfall or down a mountain brook is relaxing, calming, and therapeutic. With their melodious tunes and the ability to attract birds and butterflies, water features can become the focal point of your garden. Indeed, the ambiance created by water features is unsurpassed. There are many low-maintenance options now available for those who want the pleasure of a water feature without all of the maintenance hassles. Although many landscaping tasks are well-suited to do-it-yourselfers, mimicking nature's water features is a very difficult endeavor best left to Oaklawn Landscaping's experienced landscape team.
Did you know that the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) recommends that homeowners invest 10 percent of their home's value in landscaping? In a study they conducted, they also found that a professional landscape with great curb appeal can add up to 20 percent to your home's value. In fact, it is one of the few home improvements you can make that not only adds value immediately, but also increases in value as the years go by. Based on the ASLA's findings, the following is a good starting point to help you evaluate your budget.
Experts know that do-it-yourself hardscapes are often ruined by inattention to drainage and grading issues, where improper slopes result in ponding or bulging, and subsidence results from sub-bases that are not adequately compacted. The professionals at OakLawn Landscaping will take those issues into account when designing your hardscape plan so that your dollars are not wasted on future repairs. We use professional masons on our projects to ensure the highest quality. Walkways, Patios, and Pool areas are some of the most popular hardscapes available, because they make your outdoor living space more enjoyable and add value to the home or commercial property.
Proper plant selection can bring life to your outdoor environment and serve structural purposes such as providing shade, screening, or erosion control. Whether you want a vibrant display, quiet sophistication, or a combination of both, we can assist you in selecting the right plants, materials, and layout for your location. Another important component of your landscaping is landscape lighting which serves multiple purposes. It accents the remainder of your landscape, adds beauty, and increases safety thereby minimizing liability.
OakLawn Landscaping can handle all of your outdoor design/build needs, including stone, brick, and wood structures. Whether you need a new deck or outbuilding, or want to replace an aging patio or deck at the same time that you install your new landscaping/hardscaping to achieve the full visual effect, OakLawn is a full-service, one-stop-shop for all your needs. We employ professional carpenters and masons to build every structure, including those built with pressure-treated wood, composite decking (e.g., Trex) stone, brick, vinyl, and wood.
We don't just do your design/build and then leave you on your own - we're here to maintain your property throughout the year. Landscaping is an investment in your property and to get the most impact for your dollar, you need to properly maintain that investment. Important maintenance objectives include: proper watering; inspecting for bulging or subsidence in hardscapes; maintaining optimal plant health; implementing landscape enhancements; and mitigating safety concerns.
