When it comes to landscape design, nothing highlights the power of a well-planned transformation like before and after photos. Recently, we had the opportunity to work on a project where the client wanted to revamp their outdated water feature and planter beds. They were looking for something fresh and unique, all while staying within a specific budget. Here's how we turned their vision into a reality.
The original landscape featured a water feature that had seen better days. It no longer worked, and the surrounding stone planter beds lacked clear definition, making the space feel cluttered and uninspired. The stones blended into the water feature, offering no visual separation, which made the feature feel chaotic rather than serene. Our goal was to give the space new life while adhering to the client’s budget and desire for something different.
During our consultation, the client expressed their desire for a landscape that felt more intentional, with distinct zones for the water feature and the surrounding plants. They wanted the new design to be low-maintenance and aesthetically appealing, with clean lines and a modern touch. Most importantly, they had a specific budget in mind, so we worked carefully to stay within those financial boundaries while still delivering a fresh and unique design.
After the redesign, the difference is clear. The planter beds are now clearly defined with crisp edges and a layer of mulch, creating a striking contrast between the beds and the surrounding lawn. This not only adds visual interest but also helps retain moisture for the plants and reduces weed growth, making maintenance easier for the homeowner.
The new water feature is the true focal point of the space, featuring two waterfalls that bring a calming sound and movement to the yard. With its thoughtful placement and design, the water feature now stands out as the centerpiece it was always meant to be, surrounded by carefully selected low-maintenance plants that complement the flowing water.
Despite the complexity of the redesign, we were able to stay within the client’s budget by selecting cost-effective materials and plants that deliver high impact without high maintenance. The mulch used in the planter beds, for instance, is not only affordable but also adds a polished look to the space while providing practical benefits like moisture retention and weed prevention.
We also designed the water feature to be efficient and durable, ensuring it will function beautifully for years to come without requiring costly repairs or upkeep.
