What is Landscape Design?

Landscape design is the artisan tradition of bridging nature to culture. It is the art of integrating beautiful manmade design with natural elements at the intersection of your personal property. It uses nature and plants as architecture and tools of artistic expression, beside the 9 Basic Principles of Landscape Design. Landscape design addresses both the aesthetic and the functional aspects of our lives as we go to immerse ourselves outdoors. See our 11 Ways to Use Beautiful Rocks for Improving Your Landscape.

Elements of Landscape Design to Consider

Any good designer and the professionals at Ware Landscaping consider every aspect that will affect the landscape before we create the design that will achieve your vision. But before that, we would like you to ask yourself 9 questions to ask before you hire a landscaper We will discuss:

Sunlight

How much or how little sunlight will determine what types of plants and trees to install, and where to place certain other elements like patios or sitting areas.

Climate

The temperature and weather patterns will dictate some types of plants that will do well in the Naperville area. It may also set the tone and style for the design.

Water

Your whole design may be based around a body of water or may need to be designed to avoid drainage issues or to save water.

Soil

The type of soil, whether claylike or sandy or other, will also determine what kinds of plants and trees can flourish in your landscape.

Topography

Whether your property spreads out across a hill, is between urban buildings, or lies in a flat basin, the topography will dictate the placement of many of the plants, garden or sitting areas.

Orientation

What direction your home and landscape faces also plays a crucial role in deciding what plants to put where they will thrive the best at certain times of the day, and what feelings the landscape design will evoke during those times.

Geography

The size and surroundings of your property are vital elements in landscape design and whether it’s urban or rural.

Structures

The home, outbuildings, and other structures may cry out to be covered, ornamented, or highlighted. These structures can provide the basis for much of the whole landscape design.

Natural Architecture

Trees, tall plants, rock outcroppings, and other bold natural features must also be considered part of the basis of good landscape design.

Infrastructure

Necessary human-made features like pathways, patios, driveways, landscape lighting and other infrastructure must be considered as a design element to harmoniously converge with the rest of the landscape design and be fully functional for your ease and convenience, as well as your enjoyment.

Another good thing to know is how deep to bury landscape lighting wiring?

Each feature already present in the landscape must be planned around when considering style and function for your ideal design. Our experienced landscape designers are expert at evaluating and planning how each of these elements will fit in or enhance that unique vision you have in mind.

The Latest Trends in Local Landscaping

Swinging away from finely manicured lawns, the dominant trend in landscapes now is going toward a more natural looking area. Whether it’s located on an enormous estate or outside of a small house, the cultivation of local native species is gaining popularity.

The benefits of growing native species include the savings in water and less plant maintenance. As regions like ours are increasingly being affected by potential water crises, people appreciate the hardy species that have already adapted to tolerate our local conditions.

Dwindling populations of endangered species of birds, butterflies, and other insects and animals, due to loss of habitat, have inspired people to provide more native habitat for these species in their yards. A growing appreciation for these beautiful species has propelled the trend forward in popularity.

The beauty and variety of local species of flowers never cease to wow property owners and visitors. A palette of colors is available in nearly all textures, shapes, and sizes. There is less desire to copy traditional European designs when you are free to experiment proudly with varieties of awe-inspiring plants and trees that are indigenous and unique to our area. It also creates a harmonious bridge to the rest of the ecosystem.

What Goes Into a Good Landscape Design?

The skilled landscape design experts at Ware Landscaping take into account a variety of design factors to customize the landscape on your property to specifically suit your style and your functional needs. Our design experts will ask you to consider these factors:

These individual factors can be very subjective and can allow you to express your style. You can also get some inspiration by reading 7 ways to enhance your outdoor space with landscape lighting. The Ware landscape design team will collaborate with you to achieve your vision.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

FAQs

What is the best time to put down mulch?

The best time for putting down new mulch is mid-to-late spring. This lets your plants and seedlings get off to a good start at the beginning of the season. It’s crucial that you put just the right amount of mulch, as too much could make it impossible for new plants to penetrate. When in doubt, put a little less than you think you’ll need. You can always add more mulch later on.

If you’re unsure when the best time to mulch is or how to do it properly, you can also call mulch delivery and installation experts. Our Naperville landscapers can help ensure the job gets done right.

How often should you put mulch down?

Typically, you shouldn’t have to put down mulch more than twice per year. Most home and business owners can get away with doing it once per year. The best time to do it is in spring, right before the growing season starts. Some property owners opt for mulching in the fall, however.

If you hire professional landscaping contractors to help you, you can be sure you install the right kind of mulch for your outdoor space, at the right time of the year.

What is the best mulch for northern Illinois?

The perfect mulch for your yard depends on your terrain and climate. The College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois suggests using shredded hardwood, shredded cypress, arborist chips. Look for wood chips from local tree companies to ensure they’re optimized for your lawn.

To ensure you get the best type of mulch for your lawn, consider working with mulch delivery and installation specialists. They’ll not only know which materials work best for your lawn, but they also can also install it properly.
