Hoffman Landscapes Designs Backyards for All Seasons
With crisp weather moving in, it’s time to enjoy fire pit season! The trend for outdoor kitchens and bars is on the rise, as savvy home owners are making their backyards as comfortable as their living rooms. Families are transforming properties into year-round entertaining spaces with backyard campouts, game nights, football parties and other S’mores-friendly events.
Hoffman Landscapes, which has served the community since 1987, stays on top of the backyard entertaining trend. Their most popular Fall requests are to install outdoor kitchens and bars, pavilions with TVs, fire pits and putting greens—but they can design anything a client dreams up. Hoffman also creates landscape lighting concepts and perennial gardens to make any space more inviting.
Although swimming pools aren’t top of mind right now, Hoffman reminds clients that Fall is the perfect time to start planning your future pool. Take care of the permit process in the off season, so you can take a dip in your new pool next summer!
Although swimming pools aren’t top of mind right now, Hoffman reminds clients that Fall is the perfect time to start planning your future pool. Get the construction in before winter, so you’ll be ready to take a dip before Memorial Day 2020.
Besides pool construction and backyard living rooms, Hoffman is scheduling appointments for Fall cleanups and plantings. It’s the optimal time to plant spring bulbs, so you have a pop of color for spring.
Hoffman Landscapes has received numerous awards from the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP), Association of Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) and the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) for their design/build capabilities, as well as their superior property maintenance.
Fall Reminders from Hoffman Landscapes:
- Start plantings now (bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, alliums will be ready for spring)
- Schedule a Fall clean-up
- September/October is ideal for swimming pool and spa construction
- Fall is a great time to create outdoor kitchens, bars and entertaining spaces
- Landscape lighting adds a welcoming look to your home. Now that night falls earlier, lighting is an important safety feature as well.
- Don’t forget to winterize your sprinklers
