Hello! Thanks for taking time to read our newslette= r. I hope you enjoy what we have to say and find out some interesting= information too.

This winter I have attended many seminars and tradeshows.= In the last few years, landscape industry has really been going to t= he outdoor living space. We have completed some fantastic outdoor are= as that make you feel as though you are in your own little “retreat.&= #8221;

Some features of the outdoor living space include: bars (= sinks, refrigerators, grills and storage areas), pergolas, patios, pillars,= bench systems, fire pits, fire places and many more options. A few o= ther features that add to the setting are lighting and sound systems.

I feel as though everyone would enjoy some of these ameni= ties in their own yard. Another reason to invest money into your own = back yard is landscaping has proven to be a great investment. Some st= udies have shown landscaping will return up to $1.30 per $1.00 spent compar= ed to kitchen and bathroom remodels at $.80 per $1.00 spent. Landscap= ing has also proven to sell homes faster than homes that have outdated curb= appeal.

Call us today and let us help you design and create your = own little touch of “outdoor living!” I look forward to t= alking to you soon.

Thanks,

Matt Esch
