Landscape Design & Installation in Las Vegas

What to Think About Before Preparing a Firepit Installation

Although the areas of Las Vegas, Henderson, and Summerlin, people may assume that Nevada is scorching most of the time. Nevertheless, residents know that in the early evenings, the temperatures can suddenly drop, especially during the winter. One of the best ways to keep warm, as well as enjoy a cozy atmosphere with friends, is through a firepit installation. 

Preparing for a new firepit does require some careful forethought, however. The location of the installation matters, as there needs to be enough open ground. For the safety of household members and guests, the pit must be placed at least 5 yards away from other edifices. The surface must also be level for optimal functionality. With recent developments, people can now choose between different kinds of fuel, from propane to gas to electricity. To find which option will be most energy-efficient, speak to our knowledgeable team members or hear from our customers!

The Benefits of Installing Landscape Lighting

Landscape lighting indeed offers various advantages, both in terms of safety and aesthetics. Let's explore the benefits in more detail:

Safety: By illuminating your yard, landscape lighting provides a safe environment for family members and visitors during the evening or nighttime hours. It helps prevent accidents by lighting up pathways, steps, and potential hazards, making them more visible and reducing the risk of tripping or falling.

Security: Well-placed landscape lighting can enhance the security of your property by deterring potential intruders. A well-lit yard creates a less attractive target for criminals, as they are more likely to be observed or identified in well-lit areas.

Extended Outdoor Living: Outdoor lighting allows you to extend the use of your outdoor spaces beyond daylight hours. By illuminating patios, decks, or gathering areas, you can create a welcoming ambiance and enjoy outdoor activities or socializing even after the sun sets.

Aesthetic Enhancement: Lighting up your landscape adds a captivating visual element to your property. Bollard lights are great for middle-range lighting, while up lights and down lights can accentuate key architectural features.

Increased Property Value: Well-designed landscape lighting can significantly enhance the curb appeal and value of your property. Potential buyers often consider well-lit outdoor spaces as an attractive feature when evaluating a property.

Paver Installations & Sealing

One of the best options for making a yard or deck beautiful as well as functional is by installing pavers. These slabs can be made of all kinds of materials, providing an excellent place to walk or set outdoor furniture on. They can also be installed in multiple locations, from driveways to fire pits to patios around a pool.

A few excellent options for pavers include those made of:

• Brick
• Flagstone
• Cobblestone
• Travertine

To protect these paver installations from all the wear, tear, and erosion of the elements, it is important to also invest in paver sealing. Oil, grease, dirt, food, and other stains can make an unsightly mess on the beautiful paver surface. However, with a protective seal, these marks can be easily wiped away. Professional sealing also prevents weeds and other plants from growing up between the paver cracks.
