Components of Landscape Installation
Once our team of artistic designers has successfully drawn the plan for your new landscape, it is time for our craftsmen and horticultural gardeners to put on their tool belts and go to work! All of the progressive thought that went into your design will now be implemented, bringing your outdoor space to life. You can expect to see a flurry of activity in your yard with heavy equipment moving around, structures being built and greenery being planted. Every step of the installation is carefully paced according to a predetermined timeline for delivery, with exact adherence to every detail.
Clearing and Grading. This is the first step in the actual construction - preparing the land with a base foundation. The surface is scraped and cleared away, soil and rocks are moved to reshape the earth, and trees that are dying or impinging on the growth of other trees are removed.
Drainage Systems. Drainage in landscaping is the process of creating natural waterways entrenched in the earth so that rainwater is directed to areas where it can slowly seep into the ground, providing vital moisture for your greenery. At this step, buried drain lines may be installed to pull excess water away from the foundation of your home.
Hardscaping. Hardscaping pertains to the structural aspect of your landscape. It includes "hard" materials such as stone, tile, concrete, brick, metal or wood used to build walkways, patios, walls, fences, decks, pergolas, rockscapes etc. It can also refer to outdoor fireplaces, water features, spas and pools.
Softscaping. This is the phase where the living elements of your landscape are placed to add beauty and vibrancy to your outdoor space. Our horticultural team hand selects every tree, shrub, flower plant or grass variety. We can plant specialty fruit or food-bearing gardens.
Outdoor Lighting. This is an important part of your landscape. The spectacular night skies over this part of Colorado give outdoor enthusiasts plenty of opportunities to enjoy the evening hours. We install the lighting fixtures chosen by our design team to provide sufficient illumination in all the right places for delightful ambiance, and safety purposes.
Environmentally Friendly Landscapes
Erie, CO is a community known for being conscientious about protecting the natural environment. At Outdoor Craftsmen, we design landscapes to be in full cooperation with environmentally friendly policies, which means in essence, to reduce impact or harm upon the local ecosystems. We integrate systems into your outdoor space that initially appear to improve the aesthetics of your property, but upon closer scrutiny serve to increase its sustainability. We incorporate many of the following tactics to create a sustainable landscape:
- Diverting rainwater to specific sections of your yard, permitting it to nurture existing plant life. This also reduces soil erosion and prevents contaminants collected by runoff from eventually entering our natural waterways.
- Using native, drought-resistant plants that thrive in the normal rainfall we receive, reducing your household's water consumption.
- Planning for a good balance of hardscape and softscape element. This means installing decorative stone, patio tiles and cement work that add interesting, usable areas to your property. This replaces large expanses of lawns that require constant watering during the summer heat.
- Installing solar-powered equipment and lighting, or LED lights to lower your electricity consumption.
