Build a better landscape with Pike Nurseries

ATLANTA (January 17, 2023) – New year, new yard! The experts at Pike Nurseries are here to help local homeowners get started on the outdoor oasis of their dreams. Winter is the perfect time to evaluate and envision beautiful backyards, patios and gardens in order to get them ready to enjoy by spring. A well-kept lawn isn’t just about curb appeal and aesthetics – there are a number of homeowner benefits that accompany lush landscaping!

Increased Property Value

First impressions matter when it comes to a home. Landscape design not only boosts curb appeal, but can also add up to 20% to a home’s value – good news for increasing a home’s ranking in the real estate market. A strategic landscape design can also discourage residential crime. Homeowners can avoid being an easy target by trimming overgrown shrubs and using well-placed outdoor lighting, as well as growing thorny or prickly plants near windows and using gravel as mulch underneath.

Lower Energy Costs

A well-designed landscape can help control temperature extremes. Grass lawns are cooler than asphalt and cement, while trees provide shade during the hottest times of the day. These cooling effects contribute to the overall temperature of urban areas and can also lower utility bills. In winter, trees can block cold winds and help decrease heating costs. Conservation tactics such as waterwise plants and the proper grouping of plants based on hydration needs can also minimize consumption, resulting in lower water bills.

Improved Environment

Grass, trees, shrubs and flowers help cool the environment and improve air quality by removing carbon dioxide from the air and producing oxygen. Healthy lawns can reduce potential flooding and act as runoff buffers, absorbing and reducing the flow of pollutants and sediment that might filter into nearby bodies of water. A smart landscape design can also incorporate plants that benefit local wildlife by providing food and shelter sources for bees, birds, butterflies and more.

Better Quality of Life

Landscaping can improve time spent at home by adding an outdoor living space, reducing noise pollution and blocking unsightly views. Creating an outdoor oasis can relax and rejuvenate the mind and body, while the sights and sounds of the outdoors can relieve anxiety and improve concentration. Landscapes can also foster a healthy, active lifestyle. Growing vegetables can motivate families to eat healthier, and patios and lawns can encourage increased outdoor playtime, entertaining and dining.
