Patios

  Patios are a great addition to the outdoor living space of your home.  It is a great way to add a place to dine, cook, enjoy a fire or just unwind.  Patios can be made of several different types of materials and can really be any shape and size.  When designing and installing a patio it is important to contact a professional to make sure it is properly constructed and achieves your desired wishes!  Here are a few patios we have built over the years.

Outdoor Living

Planning your outdoor space is a lot like planning your indoor space. It is important to look at how you will use the space and what rooms you want to create. It is also important to determine good traffic flow. These are just a few of the things Apex Landscape looks at while designing your new outdoor living space and landscape!  Notice the great balance of rooms and the well executed traffic flow in the picture below.

Your personal style?


One of the first questions we ask when interviewing new clients is what is your personal style?  Certainly we take into consideration the architectural style of the home as well as the natural surroundings when concepting but we also need to know what the clients style is!  Apex Landscape believes it is a fundamental imperative to design an outdoor space to the clients specific tastes, in order to give them something that is uniquely theirs.  Sometimes clients are not sure what they like or what their style is.  This can be due to the fact no designer has ever asked them before.  Or perhaps they have always just liked what they like and have never thought about the constant theme.  Their taste and style can usually be observed when spending time with them but we also use questions and tools to accurately understand what it is they want out of the look of the project.  One such tool is a design sheet.  We provide these in different styles to help the client better visualize what it is they might be after.

We sometimes have clients whose tastes does not match the architecture of the home.  This presents some fun design challenges   We had a project like this a couple of years ago.  Our clients had a very modern sensibility but their home was very rustic.  We had to give them. Modern/Rustic!  You can see more pics of this project on our facebook page.  It is important to Apex Landscape to give you the design you have always dreamed of and is important to have the tools and resources to do so accurately!
