Lawn Doctor of Cary-Apex offers lawn care services Cary residents need to achieve a beautiful green lawn. While there is more to a landscape than lush, green grass, the foundation of an impressive landscape is its well-manicured lawn.
What are the elements of a beautiful lawn?
The creation of a beautiful lawn is not an accident; it takes imagination, careful planning, and skillful installation. Many features contribute to an amazing lawn. The project starts with a well-thought-out layout designed to generate interest that captures and keeps the eye. When the layout is professionally designed, the lawn leaves a lasting impression.
Balance and symmetry bring order and unity to the layout, satisfying the visual palate. The eyes are able to linger and take in the beauty without being overwhelmed by confusing or distracting elements. Contour and texture subtly prevent monotony by adding depth and substance to the lawn and landscape. These design elements heighten and enrich interest, drama, and elegance.
Well-placed colorful beds provide focal points of attention, lending variety to the setting. Vertical bushes, layered planting schemes, and interesting groundcovers accent the lawn, and hardscapes enhance the functionality of the overall landscape. The outdoor kitchen expands the indoor cooking space, while the patio, deck, and gazebo enlarge the inside entertainment space. The spa and pool are oases of refreshment and relaxation. Water features, rock walls, and statuary contribute gravitas or memorialize a significant event in the life of the homeowners. Sharp lines and crisp edges draw the eye to the hardscape, framing it with unique distinction.
These features – balance, symmetry, contour, texture, well-placed beds, and functional hardscapes – come full circle with color contrast. A blue-gray granite wall or a red brick paver walkway is highlighted by the rich greenery. A luxurious lawn takes on a translucence when contrasted with the dark brown hue of double-ground cypress mulch. The recurrent theme is the green of a well-maintained, well-nourished, and weed-free lawn.
Why is a green lawn so beautiful?
Verywell Mind, an award-winning online mental health resource, explains why green is such an attractive color: “For many people, the color green has strong associations with nature and brings to mind lush grass, trees, and forests. Green is often described as a refreshing and tranquil color… The color green can positively affect thinking, relationships, and physical health. Green is also thought to relieve stress and help heal… Spending time in natural green environments or even looking at pictures of green scenery in nature has been linked to stress relief, better impulse control, and improved focus… Research also has shown that creativity is likely to increase when people are surrounded by green plants and have access to green views of nature. Studies have shown that the color green can inspire creativity, too.”
What is the value of a beautiful lawn?
A beautiful lawn communicates a powerful message. The green grass warmly welcomes visitors to the residence, and the soft, green grass soothes and calms, making the landscape a delightful environment.
In addition to its positive psychological effects, a green lawn can translate into more “green” when it comes time to sell the home. A positive first impression from excellent curb appeal featuring a flawless green lawn can add 5% to 11% to the actual value of the house. Not only does the value of the home increase, but the speed at which the home sells increases as well. A home with a beautiful lawn and landscape will attract buyers much more quickly than a home with a lackluster yard that shows no effort to enhance its appearance.
