Aall Star Land Design - Altanta's choice for landscaping
Contrasts, whether they come from color, texture, or structure, can set your landscape apart from all others. Hardscapes can include edging, lighting, decks and patios, or a stone or timber wall, and all have their place in adding to the beauty of your yard.
Landscape beds benefit from a defined edging, whether the edge is cut with a sharp spade, or if it is a more permanent landscape edging made from plastic, metal, or masonry products. In addition to the creation of a well-defined border, edging helps prevent the spread of grasses into a flower bed area. Edges that are cut mechanically or with a spade need to be done annually, whereas impervious edging tends to be more permanent, provided shrub growth is taken into consideration. While impervious edging may cost more at the onset, some savings will be realized over the years because beds will not have to be re-edged to maintain a polished look.
Lighting can also enhance a landscape with dramatic techniques contrasting light and shadow. It can also be more subtle, using wide washes of outdoor illumination to emphasize specific areas of your home or garden area. Outdoor lighting fixtures also provide improved visibility for home security and safety. Other styles and forms of landscape lighting include accent lighting, silhouette lighting, uplighting, and directional lighting.
Decks and patios provide an attractive area for entertaining or simply enjoying the outdoors in your garden area. When properly constructed from pre-cast pavers, natural stone, or concrete, these outdoor living spaces can provide decades of enjoyment.
Natural stone, timbers, or pre-cast blocks each can make a beautiful wall, which can add aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space. Aall Star Land Design uses the utmost care and attention to detail in constructing a stunning retaining wall that will survive the test of time.
