When looking to improve the appearance of gardens, lawns, and lots in general, Houston homeowners should invest in professional landscape design services.  Attempting to save money by hiring a lawn service company will result in disappointed expectations.  A lawn service company is good for basic maintenance in some areas, but professional expertise in landscape design services is required to upgrade the outdoor living space and overall aesthetic of an entire property.

Exterior Worlds knows how to do this by applying the principles of landscaping to individual properties in a way that is highly personalized and complimentary to owner taste and lifestyle.  Our aim is to provide clients with an outdoor living experience that uniquely compliments their property and the beauty of their home. 

The ultimate intention here is to expand the client’s actual living space beyond the four walls of the house.  Previous choices between living room, kitchen, and bedroom now expand to new choices of outdoor kitchens, garden outdoor rooms, and swimming pool lounge areas.

This high-end approach to landscape design services creates more lifestyle options and enhances home curb appeal.

The services of a professional landscaper involve much more than simple gardening and lawn trimming services (as important as these basic maintenance services are.)  Professional landscape design service requires an understanding of the many principles of landscaping and how to apply them to specific elements such as gardens, large and small trees, swimming pools, outdoor rooms, and outdoor buildings.

A thorough study of the property and detailed understanding of the lifestyle of the owner is necessary for the designer to do this right.  Landscapes always look best when built around the motifs of the central structure of the house.  Forms of different elements are easier to develop when based upon the intended usage the homeowner has in mind. 

This is why Exterior Worlds begins every project with an in-depth consultation with the homeowner.  We feel that it is essential for our team to get to know as much about our clients as possible so we can help them anticipate how they plan to use their new outdoor environment.  Such things as the number of events they plan to host outdoors, and the number of anticipated guests for these events, helps us determine the scope and scale of major points of interest and better develop a landscape master plan tailor made to the lifestyle of the resident. 

Clients are encouraged to express their aesthetic preferences as well.  After all, it is their landscape we are shaping, not ours.   Any images of landscapes are appropriate to lay on the table as points of consideration, including cutouts from newspapers, magazines, or books from the library, or even photographs of a friend’s yard.   Case studies are also available on our website for those who may need a little inspiration to get their imagination flowing.

The only guideline we urge clients to follow when brainstorming with us is to go easy on themselves and to keep each item on their wish list simple.  Choose basic geometric shapes, colors, and design patterns that represent beauty and personal sentiment, and then bring all of these to the landscape design services specialist.  He or she can then begin to arrange them into a more intricate and truly profound expression of personal lifestyle and vision.
