A Smith Mountain Lake Patio Project

Earlier this summer, we finished up at our most recent Smith Mountain Lake project and are elated with the result! Our client was interested in creating a serene space to relax and enjoy. This lakefront property already had so many lovely qualities, and we wanted to accentuate those features! Before, this backyard was mostly grass space with plants here and there, and a path leading down to the dock.

Our landscape architect added some curving paths and a new flagstone patio, along with plants to enhance the environment and features that were already there. The before and after shots show just how far a little landscape design can go!

Pollinator Friendly Planting

Interested in creating an environmentally friendly landscape while adding fragrance and color to your yard at the same time? "Bee" a friend to the Earth and consider planting some pollinator-friendly blooms this year around your home! Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds play an important role in our environment and could use a helping hand when it comes to finding blooms to pollinate.

Diversifying bloom times is the best way to attract pollinators year-round. This means there is always something blooming in your landscape, keeping pollinators coming back for more season after season. Secondly, planting things in groups allows bees and butterflies to find your flowers easily. This method of planting design also allows for concentrated color and fragrance in your yard!

This article from pollinatorgardens.org discusses more ways to attract pollinators to your yard.

The US Forest Service website is another excellent resource for learning about pollinator planting and other forest-friendly ideas.

Lynchburg Historic Garden Day 2021

This week, our administrative and design teams had the pleasure of going to Lynchburg’s Historic Garden Day! We enjoyed taking in the beauty of several gardens throughout our community and it was a beautiful day to do so. There were overflowing floral centerpieces, babbling water features, sprawling lawns, and quaint gardens.

The best part of touring these gardens was seeing unique personal styles shine through landscape design and enjoying the sunshine! Hardscape and planting designs are huge components of creating a functional and beautiful outdoor space that fits each persons’ taste.
