We put thought and artistry into our landscaping projects because we want you to enjoy every
moment in your yard and create a great impression on your neighbors, family, and friends.
There is also a Video Gallery of Landscaping Ideas here.
There are many factors that enter a decision for landscaping choices. That means everything
is not for you and your situation. Consider these factors when looking through this gallery of
landscape ideas:
•
Improving the appearance and value of your home
•
Convenience of activity and movement
•
Neighborhood covenants and restrictions
•
Surrounding land and properties
•
Aesthetics and personal preferences
•
Activity and functionality of your yard
•
Quality versus cost
•
Future maintenance costs
•
… and many others.
That’s a lot to consider! Think about some of these things as you look at the pictures below.
Let us know your ideas for landscaping and hardscaping. Back Breakers can also provide our
suggestions and experience to help you make a decision.
Patio Ideas
Patios are important places in your yard, so consider making them look great with some of
these options. Don’t see it here? Back Breakers has many more patio examples located in
other sections of this gallery and in our work experience. Talk to us about what you want!
Hardscaping Makeovers
Many homes have existing patios and walkways that have deteriorated or don’t match
surrounding updated landscaping. Back Breakers can add a new touch of class to your
landscaping with our flagstone or textured concrete surfaces. Here is an example of a
makeover to a patio and surrounding landscaping:
Backyard Ideas
Backyards may be places to spend time with family and friends or they might be focused on
nature. Here are some backyard ideas to consider. Look at the Patios section for other
backyard ideas.
Front yard Ideas
Front yards create first impressions. You may be able to complement the style of your home
and improve its value with elegant landscaping, save water through xeriscaping, or simply
cover your yard with gravel until you have time to add the landscaping you want. Here are a
few ideas for front yards. You’ll also find other ideas in other sections of this gallery.
Water Features - Waterfalls, Ponds, Fountains
Water features can add beauty and serenity to your backyard or front yard landscaping for any
size yard. The look and sound of water flowing can be very relaxing. These water features can
be installed to take very little maintenance. Back Breakers specializes in water features using
moss rock, creating a classic and beautiful appearance. Other types of rocks can also be used.
Notice that some water features are “pondless” -- the water in the fountain or waterfall
disappears into the rocks without a pool of water. Other water features emphasize a larger
pond while others emphasize the waterfall with a small pond. Talk to Back Breakers about
these options and what they mean for your enjoyment and maintenance of your water feature.
Driveways, Walkways
Driveways and walkways are key hardscaping elements that help define movement in your
yard. You can also use their form to add beauty and enhance the effect of your landscape.
Choose and mix among many materials depending on your look, covenants, and budget. Better
materials include pavers and brick. Flagstone is great for walkways. Common materials like
concrete can be enhanced with texturing and color or insertion of brick and pavers to add style.
Using even slightly curved pathways increases the aesthetic of your walkway and driveways.
Some communities may encourage or require gravel driveways. Even these can be enhanced
by addition of moss rock lining the pathway.
Moss Rock Highlights - Stairs, Walls, etc. (& moss
rocks!)
You’ve probably noticed we like the use of moss rocks in landscaping! We do! We feel it is a
great way to add a touch of nature-inspired elegance to your landscaping. Here are a few moss
rock highlights for various yard features. Of course you’ll find moss rocks in other sections of
this gallery.
Yard Walls & Retaining Walls
Back Breakers is experienced at creating retaining walls to keep your landscaping under control
and walls to add beauty to your property, add sense of space to the landscape, and security for
your family. There are so many styles to choose from. Ask us about the styles that can fit with
your landscaping.
