Landscaping does more than enhance the appearance of your home; it creates an inviting atmosphere and offers a range of benefits that go beyond aesthetics.
Thoughtfully designed landscapes can improve environmental health by reducing soil erosion, filtering pollutants, and promoting biodiversity.
They also contribute to mental and physical well-being by providing natural spaces for relaxation and exercise.
Economically, a well-maintained landscape can increase property values, reduce energy costs by providing natural insulation, and even lower heating and cooling expenses.
All of these factors make landscaping an investment that yields returns in multiple ways.

FAQ about Residential landscaping and hardscaping
Are landscaping costs tax deductible?
In some cases, landscaping costs can be tax deductible if they are related to improvements on a commercial or investment property. However, it’s best to consult an accountant or tax expert to determine eligibility based on local laws. Personal residential landscaping typically does not qualify for tax deductions.
Â
Can landscaping be done in winter?
Yes, some landscaping work can be done in winter, such as installing lighting, planning designs, or even planting certain hardy plants. However, tasks like lawn care or major installations may be limited due to weather conditions. Winter is also a good time for planning spring projects.
Â
Can landscaping increase home value?
Yes, good landscaping can significantly increase home value by enhancing curb appeal and attracting potential buyers. Studies suggest that well-maintained landscaping can add up to 10-15% to a home’s value. Features like trees, flower beds, and outdoor lighting are particularly appealing.
Â
When is landscaping season?
Landscaping seasons vary by region, but generally, spring and summer are the most active periods. Some work can also be done in fall to prepare for winter, such as mulching and pruning. Winter is typically a slower season but can be used for planning and design.
Â
Who does landscaping near me?
You can find local landscaping companies online or through recommendations from friends and acquaintances. Be sure to check reviews from previous clients before hiring. Many companies offer free consultations to discuss your needs and provide estimates.
Â
What landscaping zone am I in?
The appropriate landscaping zone depends on your local climate and soil. You can use agricultural zone maps or consult a landscaping specialist to determine suitable plants and designs. Knowing your zone helps in selecting plants that will thrive in your area and require less maintenance.
Â
What are the key elements of a well-designed residential landscape?
A well-designed residential landscape includes a balance of hardscape (like pathways and patios) and softscape (like plants and trees). It should have focal points, such as a water feature or flower bed, and consider factors like sunlight, soil type, and climate. Proper drainage and irrigation systems are also essential for maintaining a healthy landscape.
Â
How can I maintain my residential landscape throughout the year?
To maintain your residential landscape, follow a seasonal care routine. In spring, focus on planting and fertilizing. Summer requires regular watering and mowing. Fall is ideal for pruning and mulching, while winter is for planning and protecting plants from frost. Regular weeding and pest control are also important year-round.
