Everybody appreciates the wonders of a beautifully landscaped lawn – lush green grass, bold and vibrant colors, healthy shrubs and trees, and the sweet scent of flowers. Add a creative deck, a charming stone pathway, the clever use of space, and you have a sure winner on your hands.
A beautiful and well-kept landscape offers more than just visual appeal. Its many benefits include the following:
• You make your space healthier.
Grass is a natural air conditioner. It makes the surrounding area much cooler than cement, asphalt, or even soil can. When you have trees shading your attic, you can bring the temperature even lower.
Plants clean the air. They absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Grass and plants help confine pollutants like smoke particles and dust so you are able to enjoy cleaner surroundings.
The sight of healthy trees and shrubs help to bring down blood pressure levels. It reduces stress. It’s not surprising that an increasing number of neighborhoods are now incorporating parks, tree canopies, and other green space in an effort to perk up the quality of life for its residents.
Even businesses are starting to appreciate the benefits of having landscaped areas surround their buildings. An appealing landscape tends to attract more prospective clients as they pass by. Being close to nature also seems to contribute to the employees’ sense of well-being and job satisfaction.
• You help the environment.
Your lawn helps protect bodies of water. It absorbs storm water runoff and prevents it from filtering into nearby streams, brooks, or rivers. It also helps to bring down noise levels.
The retaining walls in your yard help to stop erosion. They stop soil from wearing away and ending up in waterways.
By choosing to plant native shrubs, trees, and flowers, you help create a sustainable home for wildlife and local birds. You’re doing your share to fight climate change.
• You get more opportunities to live a happier life.
Having a landscaped lawn inspires you to live a better life. You spend more time outdoors – play with your kids, work in the garden, or entertain friends with a barbecue party. Staying outdoors helps relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and improve your mood.
There are many ways that a beautifully planned yard can make your life more lively and colorful.
You can add an outdoor fire pit where your family and neighbors can roast marshmallow and exchange funny anecdotes or ghost stories. You can create a cobblestone path to a serene private spot perfect as a reading nook. You can set aside a nice grassy corner where the kids can play tag.
You can incorporate an outdoor kitchen where you can cook burgers or bake pizza. If you have enough space, you can set aside some space as an outdoor living room and spend time there watching your favorite TV series.
• You increase the value of your property.
When you install an outdoor kitchen, a porch, and other outdoor amenities, you make your property more appealing. If you want to resell it in the future, you’re likely to get better value for it.
All these benefits make investing in a landscaped lawn worthwhile. However, it takes more than just the ability to put together a few colorful flowers and some shrubs to make a gorgeous, comfortable, and well-designed landscape.
