New Landscapes

Designing and installing a new landscape take various steps. We initially meet with the customer and discuss their needs and requirements prior to designing the new landscapes. In correlation with our customers' needs, our landscape specialists consider the functionality feature of the new landscape as well as the aestetic one, using coordinated color for unified appearances and pleasing public images. Our planned designs and placement of plants and hardscape items within a landscape will also provide an aestetically pleasing aspect to your front and/or back yard, as well as functionality.

We are considering the following factors in designing your new landscape:

The construction process begins with a good design. Colors and shapes are also an important factor in creating a new landscape. Whether it is a combination of colorful plants or tones of landscaping rock and hardscape elements, Starbucks Scapes designers recognize plant characteristics and functions, identify the roles plants play in specific landscape designs and use them in combination with hardscape elements as consistent and logical parts of new landscapes. Brick edging in the front path with matching brick planters; a widened area along the new path; landscape low lighting; flowing lawn borders that conform to the new walk’s curves; boulders and/or creative rock patterns; water features; pathways are all features that can work together to make your front and/or back yard look beautiful. The color captured from well thought-out plant choices to complement and harmonize with buildings and the existing vegetation will create a eye-catching front yard landscapes that are enjoyable and pleasing not only to the landscape designer, but also to the household, visitors and casual passersby.

The plant selection for successful landscapes performed by Starbucks Scapes specialists is meticulous and well educated, so that suitable plant combinations will function in proper site conditions. Careful plant selection for desired characteristics allows plant choices to function admirably in specific roles. Knowing the mature heights and widths of plants is crucial. Similarly, overall shape, texture, and form are qualities that bring diversity and interest to a design and knowledgeable plant selection leads to dynamic landscape designs. Another key decision factor that Starbucks Scapes designers consider is the knowledge of site environment.

Tips on making a front yard makeover successful.

Very often the front yard in neighborhoods all look the same. The installation of a new front walkway, which connects from the front door to the sidewalk, can drastically improve the front landscape appeal. Very often the existing walk will run with straight lines and 90 degree turns, from the driveway to the front door. This is contrary to the natural movement of human beings. Curves are much easier to navigate and usually provide a more relaxed and inviting appearance. This new walk not only provides for easy access for visitors parking on the street, but it also can open up new planter areas for specimen plants and tree planting.
