Happy New Year to all!

Now that the holidays are past, and winter has settled in, it’s time to take stock of the home and landscape improvements you’d like to see come spring and summer. The cold weather has stripped everything down to its structural essence, and it’s just much easier to see the landscape layout and structure of your yard now and objectively evaluate exactly where you’d like to make changes and upgrades. Perhaps you’d like to add a gazebo to extend your living and entertaining space out of doors. Adding screened gazebos, hot tub or spa gazebos, decks, patios or porches to your house can enhance the beauty of your home as well as increase its value.

Planning the perfect placement of these additions plus complementary landscaping — adding trees, shrubs, planters or garden beds to accent the new gazebo and help it blend into your yard — takes time. Don’t wait until the last minute to consider your needs and wants. Spring will be here before you know it; and you don’t want to rush into an improvement project without a considered plan. Take the time to really look at your yard and list where you want to make changes. Check out some of the articles on our site for inspiration. Check your local library for books picturing landscape design ideas. Consult your local HOA (if applicable) and, if necessary, zoning office to know the rules concerning home additions.
