Lehnhoff’s Landscaping:: Water Features can Spruce up your Yard

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012

Do you have a bland yard? Do you often feel tense, anxiety-riddled and stressed out after working your 9-5 job, five days a week? If any of these questions apply to you, consider adding key water features to your landscaping design.

The most important aspect to water features is that you can see and hear the water offering a more relaxing and tranquil setting. It’s a cost-effective way to curb stress and maximize the value of your house.

Waterfalls, fountains and built-in ponds effuse a calm atmosphere that not only calms you after a hard day but can add variety into your plain looking yard.  When you consider adding water features into your garden, remember that you have a plethora of choices.

You can pick from natural looking rock pools with built-in fountains, or more modern looking arrangements using stone balls or other features. Transform the look and feel of your garden with a touch of water. We also composed a list of benefits that water features can do for you and for your garden.

Water Feature Benefits

Appearance: Water features like water falls, ponds and even  rock pools yield a natural ambiance into your garden. Lehnhoff’s Landscaping knows how to blend the appearance of your garden with natural looking rocks and the appearance of a small waterfall or rock pool. We are adroit at enhancing your garden into a smaller side attraction or into an eye-opening feature.

Sound: Imagine soft ripples cascading on a soft pond. Sounds great, doesn’t it? A garden waterfall doesn’t just look great but it sounds tranquil. The trickling noises it makes like a babbling brook can ameliorate your mood.

Light: Did you know that fountains can reflect and refract light? When the sun does that, you will be able to enjoy the natural lightshow.  Even in the  evening, this serene lighting will be refracted and will dance around the garden in a similar way in which a flame dances in the light. It’s quite a hypnotic experience.

Wildlife: Have you ever wanted to watch wildlife mingle around your front or back lawn? It’s possible if you add garden water features. A host of birds would be able to bathe and drink from your pond. If you have lily pads in your pond, you may be able to attracts frogs too.

Lehnhoff’s Landscaping:: A Dog Friendly Garden

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

It’s quite possible to have both a beautiful garden and a happy dog. Just make sure your landscaping matches your pet’s habits. If you are going to bring a dog into the family, make sure you have a flexible plan with your lawn. By having a flexible plan and being aware of common problems dogs can bring to your lawn, it’s possible that both your pet and landscape can live in harmony.

Do you have a female dog? If so, you may have noticed some brown spots on your lawn. Female dogs have a large concentration of nitrogen and salt in their urine, and that’s what causes brown spots on your lawn. The best way to remove those eye sores is to flush them out with a  with a garden hose.

If you want to minimize this task, then try to train your dog to do their business in a secluded area.

Plant trampling is often the result of a rambunctious behavior. If you have a boisterous dog, make sure you have hardy native species growing well in your lawn so they can thrive in this area. Also, if you notice where your dog likes to run then remove more fragile plants into a different yard.

If you have soft landscaping that tends to get muddy and dirty, your pet will inevitably track it inside. Best way to prevent this is to restrict your dog’s access to muddier areas. Try constructing a landscaping barrier? If you need help with that, you can come to us.

Hardscaping is highly effective since rocks and mulch replace grass and soul.

Maintaining your garden while having a dog is a challenge but a doable one. By properly training your dog and following these tips, your landscape will be impeccable.

Whatever landscaping project you take on, your home value will surely increase. Contact Lehnhoff Landscaping for an estimate on your dream landscape.

Lehnhoff’s Landscaping: Hardscaping Essentials

Monday, May 21st, 2012

What most people don’t realize is that most landscaping projects are a series of smaller projects. To simply put it, we can’t just start and finish a project, all at once. Some landscaping  jobs range from basic construction projects to the gamut of landscaping. Hardscaping, which consists of decks, walls, fences, steps and etc., may take time to install but is worth the effort.

Picking out hardscaping features and elements for your yard and confining your dream yard into a  budget can be a challenge, but a doable one. Remember that Lehnhoff Landscaping is always there and can help you when it comes to selecting and installing hardscape features.

With that said,  here’s a listing of hardscaping tips that can help you  color in your vision and define an overall theme for your yard.

Hardscaping Essentials

Retaining Walls: If you want to prevent erosion or stabilize steep-sloped banks, then consider retaining walls. Want to know how to craft them? Use large river rocks, railroad ties,  or small boulders to get the job done. If this is your first time retaining your walls, then you must consider the construction quality. It’s best to get advice from professionals, like Lehnhoff Landscaping.

Consider Steps: Safety is a must when you consider adding steps. Make sure your steps are not too small and are not inclined too deep. Also, you don’t always need to restrict yourself to brick or concrete steps. You can also use quarried stone, landscaping timbers and cobblestones to cultivate your steps. If you want make your steps more singular, outline your railroad ties with pebbles or crushed stone.

Plan Walkways/ Paths: Walkways and paths are essentials to any garden.  If you want a rustic path, consider using bricks, crushed rock, woodwhips or Chilton stone. Make sure that steppers are placed in areas where the surface is flush, as a safety precaution.

Non-plant Garden Features:Experiment with symbols, nautical elements and with design elements that you love. Think about the overall theme of your yard, and go from there.

Need Help?: Installing  steps, rock walls, and pathways may be a hassle if you don’t have the experience or the time. If you need help making your dreams into reality, contact Lehnhoff Landscaping. We are here to provide a guiding hand.

Lehnhoff’s Landscaping: Avoiding landscaping mistakes

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Many people don’t realize that landscaping is an art form. It takes skill, patience and aptitude to create lush landscapes that captivate droves of onlookers.

Because of this misconception,  most people tend to make common blunders with their yard.

Common landscaping mistakes

  • Conserving water by watering the lawn during evenings:  This is a baseless belief that has no concrete evidence behind it.   Cooler soil will not absorb a lot of water at night. Water only stays at the surface, making it a breeding ground for disease and fungus to germinate.
  • Maintaining a short lawn so landscaping will be easier: Keeping your lawn short will compromise your landscape. The photosynthesis process is greatly hindered by short grass since it exposes the sensitive roots to direct sunlight. Keep your grass tall so it will get more nutrients and help safeguard a resilient landscape.
  • Doing it all by yourself: Many people believe they can manage their lawns sans any help from professional contractors.  By refusing any help from top-notch landscapers, like Lehnhoff’s Landscaping, you leave your lawn susceptible for future problems.  Lehnhoff’s Landscaping is skilled in installation and plumbing for waterworks and we accrue results that are incomparable to a novice in the field.

Lehnhoff’s Landscaping can fix landscaping blunders

During the initial consultation, we listen to the overall vision for your outdoor space, then encompass them into a design that is easily understandable and applicable to you. All designs are done to scale so you have a realistic idea of what the end result will be. Our goal is that you walk away with a plan that is functional, practical, and ascetically pleasing.

Aside from making your space all you hoped it could be, we provide the highest level of quality assurance. We have all the necessary licenses, make sure projects are done to code, and plan for effective water run off.
