Written by J. Bryant Boyd | Nov. 07, 2018

The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior, so you have to think about landscaping when planning for your future custom home. No home is complete without the perfect outdoor space to entertain your guests and relax with your family. Read on as J Bryant Boyd Architect Design-Build, one of the top custom home builders in our area, talks about four landscaping features you can add to your new custom home:

Patio

You can’t go wrong with adding a patio to your yard. This classic outdoor element provides a spot for the rest of the outdoor features. Patios are a great place to enjoy dinner outside, to entertain your guests and to watch the sunset. In addition, you can choose from a variety of materials for your patio, allowing you to match the aesthetic of the rest of your home.

A Water Feature

Consider adding a fountain or even a small stream to your outdoor space. Water features add a touch of elegance and peace to your landscaping. It makes your space look beautiful and feel serene.

Built-In Grill

Built-in grills are excellent for hosting an outdoor party for your friends and family. Outdoor grills are covered, which means you won’t have to worry about the weather. When building your landscape, make sure that there’s plenty of space for preparing the food and for seating the guests.

Fire Pit

A fire pit is the perfect place for you and your guests to gather and relax. There are many kinds of fire pit designs, like a stone-ringed fire pit, a simple bowl-shaped pit and more. A fire pit is a great investment if you love spending quality time with your loved ones.

Pergola

A pergola is a great visual addition to your outdoor living space and can also provide a bit of protection from the sun and rain. You can fit a pergola with a retractable canopy or use its latticed tops for climbing vines and flowering plants.
