For homeowners thinking about a landscape redesign, there’s a natural desire to bring ideas to the drawing board. And for good reason: Whether it’s patio pavers, outdoor kitchens or water features, there’s a lot of colors, textures and styles to choose from. And without inspiration in the pipeline, landing on a single choice can feel like an uphill battle.
The key to getting (and keeping) the wheels in motion on a project is landscape design ideas. Armed with visuals of other backyards to guide your own design, this roadmap will help you better envision the landscape of your dreams and turn it into a reality with the help of a professional team.
Luckily, there are plenty of resources available where homeowners can find landscape design ideas.
While Houzz is home to plenty of inspiration for indoor remodels, it also has an entire section of photos dedicated to the outdoors. In it, you’ll find landscape design ideas that align with traditional, modern and contemporary landscapes, as well as large and small backyard spaces. They even have a few Houzz stories that provide a detailed breakdown of how homeowners have transformed their landscapes, as well as creative concepts for brick patios, wood fences and more.
On the HGTV website, you’ll find an array of inspirational patio photos for your landscape redesign. Simple navigation tools make it easy to shift between projects that feature one style — like rustic or Mediterranean — or color and compare what you find. And for a more in-depth look at before/after transformations, you can tune into full episodes of some popular shows the network airs.
Already have a Pinterest account? If so, you may have already created a board or two that features your favorite recipes or books. While browsing landscape design ideas that suit your interest, consider creating a new board to house the options you like. Storing photos in this format makes it easy to refer back to them during conversations with landscape providers.
While you may still be in the process of gathering inspiration for your landscape redesign, that doesn’t mean it’s too soon to connect with providers via their website. In fact, many will include a blog that not only highlights the latest trends in landscape design, but also showcases some of the projects they’ve worked on. That’s the case for Green Impressions, where we pull examples from our own design portfolio to illustrate various ideas for patio pergolas, fire pits and more.
Once you have your inspiration, we encourage you to reach out to the team at Green Impressions. We combine our years of experience with a passion for landscapes to help Northeast Ohio homeowners create a staycation oasis that not only meets but exceeds expectations. It all starts with requesting a free consultation.
