InTERRAct Landscape Design:

In the vein of continuing to explore whats out there in landscape design, I came across a great portfolio on a website out of Desert Hot Springs, California. Roger Hopkins Stone Sculpture offers contemporary stone sculpture design that can really add accents to your front or backyard landscape.

From carved etchings, to arches to water bowls and seating, these stone sculpture designs are sure to be the centerpiece and focal point of your outdoor living space.

This one is a great idea to incorporate the natural elements into the stone design. A custom burning system is just what the doctor ordered for this fire piece.

Here is another example of how a fire bowl can act as not only an aesthetically pleasing part of your outdoor living room, but also as a place to gather while entertaining family and friends.

I really like how this stone slab fence creates a barrier to the home and provides some privacy but also works well with the contours of the lines of the structure itself. The sharp angled lines of the architecture, work well with the uneven yet angled lines of the stone.

When I look at these stone seats, all I can envision is the custom fire pit that is going to be placed in the center.

Another great example of how custom fire pits and seating can be the center of attention for your outdoor living room.

Not only does Roger Hopkins provide functional seating, fire pits and address markers, he also provides artistic sculpture that will add a contemporary appeal to your backyard and gardens.

Through landscaping you increase the value of your property both in residential and commercial. It will be beneficial to hire the services of an expert landscaper to create a noteworthy landscape design. A landscape designer can help you develop a plan and will work with you through the entire design process from consultation to development, to analysing your site, construction and dealing with matters concerning permits.
Once developed, it is proper to maintain and protect the landscape design and installation. A professional landscape design program includes caring of shrubs, vines, lawn and flower beds. Trees are trimmed regularly as well. Mulching is needed to make sure that the exchange of air and water into the soil flows properly. A landscape expert will keep a regular scheduled service to make sure that all the plants are healthy, looks good and observes to the original design.

Commercial landscaping needs maintenance as well. Most commercial establishments have landscape lighting which creates a stunning and dramatic night time effect for the property. A professional landscaping company or expert will ensure that this lighting system is well-maintained as it becomes deterrent and particularly invaluable to commercial businesses who normally conduct business at night like hotels, restaurants, social clubs, museums, etc.

Irrigation system is also part of a landscape service program. A well-run irrigation system supplies the right amount of water to the right area. For example, Houston is heavily soiled, with flat areas and rains abundantly so what it needs is a good drainage system. It will at least protect the property from flooding. Keeping a drainage system that is well developed, installed and properly maintained as a whole is essential to fully benefit from this system.
