In the midst of enduring a cold winter, nothing gets us
more excited than the anticipated changes that a warm Spring
will soon bring. Just as nature
has its changes of seasons, our lives seem to track in seasons as well,
carrying us through young adulthood, parenting years, middle age, and our
golden years.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the way we view
and utilize our home landscape spaces often changes as we go through life’s version
of seasonal changes? Using our home landscape for seasons of more intensive
entertaining may call for large enough terrace spaces that can handle it, along
with perhaps an outdoor kitchen or pavilion.
Parents with young children soon approaching teen years sometimes
consider adding a custom designed swimming pool to promote family activities
and peer gatherings at home. When you get beyond
that season and find the need to move to a more manageable downsized home with
less maintenance, then perhaps smaller, more intimate outdoor spaces may
provide what is most enjoyed. Aahh…, I
can hear the soothing sounds of a water feature!
We at Kane Landscapes, Inc. welcome the opportunity to
sit down with you to listen to your needs and develop a vision for your
landscape that is most suitable for whatever season of life you are currently
enjoying.
