Before & After: Transforming Outdoor Spaces with Sustainable Landscaping

At Sustainable Landscapes and Lawn, one of our favorite parts of the job is seeing outdoor spaces completely transformed—not just in looks, but in health, function, and sustainable landscaping.


Every property tells a story. Sometimes, it begins with patchy grass, crowded shrubs, or outdated hardscape that’s seen better days. But with thoughtful design, eco-friendly practices, and professional care, those same landscapes can be revived into vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable outdoor spaces.


🌱 Here’s what makes our Sustainable Landscaping upgrades stand out:


Sustainable turf, including native grasses and drought-tolerant groundcovers, provides:

  • Healthier Lawns & Gardens – Drought-tolerant plants, healthy soil practices, and organic treatments help your lawn thrive naturally.

  • Eco-Friendly Designs – We incorporate native plants and water-efficient layouts to reduce maintenance and environmental impact.

  • Enhanced Curb Appeal – Whether it’s a front yard refresh or a backyard retreat, our upgrades elevate the beauty and value of your property.

  • Customized Solutions – Every transformation is tailored to your space, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Investing in a variety of landscape upgrades is a proven way to improve both your property's value and its curb appeal, with many projects offering a strong return on investment and immediate visual impact.


Popular Landscape Upgrades


  • Professional Landscape Maintenance: Consistent mowing, mulch application, shrub pruning, and planting annuals or perennials not only keep your yard inviting but also yield some of the highest returns—typically over 100% ROI.

  •  Upgraded Walkways and Pathways: Adding or resurfacing walkways with natural flagstone, brick, or stone pavers defines your property and directs guests to the entryway for an elegant, welcoming appearance.

  • Healthy Lawn or Eco-Friendly Alternatives: A lush, well-maintained lawn is eye-catching, and in water-restricted regions, artificial turf provides a green look with low maintenance and water savings—highly attractive to buyers.

Why Choose Us?


  • Custom Designs: Every project is tailored to your vision, lifestyle, and the unique characteristics of your property.

  • Sustainable Practices: We prioritize eco-friendly solutions, from drought-tolerant plants to efficient irrigation systems.

  • Attention to Detail: Our team is dedicated to delivering exceptional results, ensuring every element is thoughtfully considered.

  • Professional Service: From initial consultation to final installation, we communicate clearly and work efficiently to exceed your expectations.

  • Planting Trees and Shrubs: Mature trees dramatically boost property value (often 7%-19%) while providing shade, energy efficiency, and visual interest. Privacy hedges or well-placed shrubs can also screen unwanted views.

  • Outdoor Living Spaces: Patios, decks, or seating areas extend your living space, creating outdoor “rooms” for entertaining and relaxation. These upgrades can recover 60%-83% of their costs.

  • Updated Garden Beds and Edging: Installing new planters, raised beds, or sharp bed edges adds color and structure, making the landscape look polished and intentional.

  • Outdoor Lighting: Landscape lighting increases nighttime curb appeal and safety. Highlighting walkways, trees, or architectural features adds sophistication.

  • Sprinkler or Irrigation Systems: Automated watering saves time and ensures plant health, making maintenance easier and encouraging lush growth.


Fast Curb Appeal Boosters

  • Refresh mulch and remove weeds for clean, neat garden beds.

  • Use potted plants or add seasonal color near the front door or entryway steps.

  • Prune overgrown shrubs to reveal your home’s architecture and let in natural light.


Features to Avoid

  • Overly customized or trendy features (for example, large, permanent play equipment or elaborate themed landscaping) can detract from broad appeal and even lower value.

  • High-maintenance water features or above-ground pools can make a property harder to sell if not desired by typical buyers.


    By choosing upgrades that blend beauty, function, and sustainability, property owners can enjoy a stunning landscape now and benefit from increased value when it’s time to sell.
