As landscape architects, we know professionally landscaped gardens adds value to your home. However most people don’t just add landscaped yards to their homes for neighbours to admire, they add it as an extension of their living space.
Depending on your lifestyle the space may vary. Let’s take a look at some landscape ideas for your homes.
Low maintenance:
Busy professionals and people who are constantly on the move may have difficulty maintaining a lush garden or sprawling lawn. This doesn’t mean they can’t maintain a beautiful lawn.
Rock garden is an option!
Rock gardens don’t gather weeds and are easy to maintain. Natural stone adds value and hardy plants like cactus and ever greens can add green cover to the landscape. Rock gardens have another advantage is that they don’t need much water, the hardy plants used in the garden can be watered once a week which is plentiful for them, in our extensive experience as landscape architects in Chennai, India we know this for a fact.
For a family:
If you have a family with young children you have to find a good space for them to play as they grow. What more can be apt other than your own backyard!
Backyard playgrounds work out ideally for kids. They can swing around and play around in the open space. It encourages outdoor play and active living. Out of all the landscape architects in Chennai, India, we are proud to say we have built most exclusive swing sets in gardens for a range of clients.
Another innovative way is to involve your kids into growing a vegetable garden. It shows them the natural growing process and takes away their aversion to veggies. Involve them in planting, fertilizing and harvesting to spike their interest in gardening. You are left with healthy vegetables as well as fun outdoor activity. This can help the children develop a lifelong interest in gardening and the outdoors.

If you frequently have guests or throw a party often, as landscape architects in Chennai, India, we recommend you to take it outdoors as it is more fun. BBQ counters make a great addition to your yard. You can have your own BBQ party anytime you need and entertain your guests with tasty barbecue treats, making then want to come more often. Outdoor parties can accommodate more people and at the same time offers more ways to entertain in the free space. Parties become livelier this way, people will feel compelled to stay and will often want to come back for more.
