What is Landscaping?
Landscaping is more than just a lawn, a few plants and some mulch. Today, landscaping often entails the planning, layout and construction of gardens that enhance the appearance and create space for outdoor living and activities around the home.
It is the process of making changes to your area of land in one or more of the following ways:
Plants – The addition of native, edible, ornamental or other types of plants.
Terrain – Changing the land by grading, backfilling, mounding, trenching, terracing or in other ways.
Structures – Constructing walls, decks, hardscapes, fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, fences or other built features.
The options and possibilities are endless. Cable networks like HGTV, and social media outlets like Pinterest and Houzz have made it easy for a homeowner to plan for what they want. Yet, often the scope and logistics far exceed the homeowners skill set. CCLA is here to help!
