Landscape Bed Design & Installation Project in Glen Carbon, IL

Landscape Bed Design & Installation Project in Glen Carbon, IL

Our clients in Glen Carbon, IL recently hired us for a landscape design and installation project for their front yard. We were thrilled that they choose us to complete this project and we are excited to share the results. When they first gave us a call, their yard was a blank canvas that needed some sprucing up. After listening to their goals, we suggested some materials, plantings, and design options to help them create beautiful landscape beds. To get the desired results for our clients, we shaped out the area where the landscape beds would go, filled them with the plantings of their choice, added both rock and mulch ground covers, and used bricks to create a beautiful border around one of the beds.

First, we prepped the area for our client's new landscape beds.

Because our client's property didn't have any existing landscape beds, we had to prep the area to create a space for them to go. First, we had to shape out the areas so we knew exactly how much space we had to work with for this project. Next, we removed any grass and debris from those areas and flattened them out completely. This gave us the blank canvas we needed to start creating their landscape beds from scratch.

We Strategically Added Plants & Small Trees

After we finished prepping the areas, it was time to add some plantings to give their landscape beds some "pop". We went over the options that were available and helped our clients pick out plantings that were not only beautiful but also would thrive in the Glen Carbon environment. Then, once they settled on which type of plantings they wanted, we used our expertise in design to perfectly place the plants and small trees to create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing look.

We Utilized Both Rocks & Mulch for the Ground Coverings

Once the new plants were installed, it was time to fill in the landscape beds with ground coverings. Our clients wanted to really make these beds stand out so we decided to use a combination of rocks and mulch. We primarily filled the beds with rocks and then surrounded the two trees with mulch to create an "island" in the middle of the beds for a truly eye-popping look.

What's more, our clients were thrilled to learn that their new ground coverings not only gave their landscape beds aesthetic appeal, but they also offer other benefits for their new plants including soil temperature control, weed prevention, and controlling soil erosion.

Our final touches included edging one of the beds and adding decorative boulders.

Once the landscape beds were shaped out and filled with plantings and ground covers, it was time to add the finishing touches. We used bricks to edge one of the landscape beds to create a beautiful border between the bed and the yard. Finally, we added decorative boulders next to the mulch by the two trees to add the perfect final touch for this project.
