Every 10-20 years it’s common for homeowners to remodel their front and backyard landscaping and hardscaping. From cracking concrete, to dated bricks or other older style hardscaping, you will see signs when it’s time to renovate. For softscaping, you will likely see turf with holes or fading in certain areas, or grass that’s simply impossible to keep green consistently.
When approaching a complete remodel of your landscape, it’s important to note which services may cost you the most money, where to save money, and where not to be frugal with your investment. Overall, your goals may vary depending on your situation and property, but common goals include:
- Expanding and extending usable space (this is often completed with overhanging decking over previously unusable slopes or canyons common in San Diego county)
- Increasing aesthetic value and curb appeal (as well as likely the property value)
- Hire a licensed and insured local contractor – hiring an inexperienced or unqualified remodeling company can result in damage to your property, dangerous results that are a liability, and/or having to pay to have the project done twice.
- Save money on water and maintenance. Modern landscaping and hardscaping, especially the replacement of natural grass with artificial turf and pavers, can significantly reduce your water usage and your yearly maintenance costs.
