For years, Asheville’s temperate climate and beautiful mountains have called to people in search of a high quality of life, where they could enjoy the outdoors nearly year-round. Today that trend continues, and for discerning residents of Asheville, landscape design is a key element in building a beautiful life.
At Gardens for Living, we believe that your outdoor living space should be a reflection of your lifestyle and your values, and an extension of your indoor living space.
Your garden is much more than a patch of sod to mow or a few rows of flowers to tend to every spring. Asheville landscape design is unique not only because of the interesting terrain and the opportunity to experience a different and beautiful home landscape every season, but because of the diversity of the people we’re designing for. Right from the start, we listen to your ideas and your needs, with an eye toward creating a custom landscape design that fits your family’s lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a tranquil retreat behind a hedge; an intricate array of terracing with stone steps, water features, and built-in seating; or a landscape that incorporates play spaces for the kids and room for the adults to relax and enjoy outdoor dining, we’ll take you from the first phase of the design to the finished landscape, and beyond.
Our team of experienced designers will meet with you and take a look at your property and existing landscape, to get an idea of what we have to work with.
We will listen to your ideas about what you’d like to see in your outdoor living space, and talk about how to make your Asheville landscape or garden fit your family’s lifestyle. We can design a landscape that is low maintenance or a landscape that is a home gardener’s delight, providing hours of time in the sun and soil every month. If you love the look of a higher-maintenance design but don’t have the time or the inclination to keep it up yourself, we offer comprehensive maintenance services from irrigation maintenance and upkeep to leaf-blowing to pruning and weed control, and more. Once we’ve perfected your landscape design, our expert installation crews come together to make your design a reality. Our installation crews are experienced with Asheville landscape design, and know how to work with the natural landscape and terrain of the area.
Asheville landscape design means more than deciding which plants you’d like to have around your home.
We design pathways that meander along the natural trails on your property, or design terraces that turn a sloping lawn into more usable space. If your idea of the perfect evening means sitting outside by a fire, listening to the crickets and birds, let us give you an outdoor fireplace with built-in seating, to make your landscape usable well beyond the summer months. If you’re looking for privacy, we can create a hedge to make a private space just for you. We’re respectful of your environmental concerns, and love to incorporate native materials into your design, along with setting up and maintaining rainwater harvesting to meet your irrigation needs. We can take the style of your home and blend it with the look of your landscape, so they two flow seamlessly together into one fantastic living space. The possibilities for landscape design in Asheville are as vast as the sky above; let us help you get out there and start enjoying yours.
