Plus, with our professional outdoor lighting products, you can pick from over 320 designs to match any architectural style.
Early Outdoor Lighting Pioneers
For hundreds of years, people have been experimenting and innovating to create outdoor light fixtures. Through the years, torches, candles, gas lamps, electrical lighting, and solar-powered equipment have assisted people in their nighttime activities. Notably, the extraordinary inventor, Benjamin Franklin is known as the father of the American streetlight for his contributions. After studying London’s dingy streetlights, Franklin added some improvements to keep lamps from growing dark in a few hours.
However, the father of garden lighting is Frank B. Nightingale. It was Nightingale who elevated outdoor lighting to a true art form. After working for General Electric for over 20 years, he began manufacturing garden light fixtures in his garage. Moreover, many of the landscape lighting techniques he pioneered back in the 1930s are still in use today.
Outdoor Lighting Offers Many Merits
Increasing nighttime activities is just one of the many advantages outdoor lighting provides:
- Safety
- Welcoming atmosphere
- Aesthetic beauty
- Increase usability of outdoor areas
- Curb appeal
Perhaps the most important reason for adding lights is safety. Well-placed path lights can help you navigate through your yard securely without fear of tripping. Plus, a well-lit area discourages trespassers.
Moreover, the warm glow of light can welcome you or your guests at the front door on a dark night. Also, using an automatic timer will ensure your porch is well lit when you need it.
Additionally, you can extend your entertaining time into the nighttime hours. Your guest will feel comfortable with a well-lit patio. Backyard lighting can create the perfect party atmosphere. Plus, with the right lighting, you can grill at night too.
Finally, you can increase the value of your home by increasing the aesthetic beauty and curb appeal. With a well-thought-out outdoor lighting design, you can create dramatic points of interest. Additionally, you can highlight certain architectural details of your home or specific parts of your garden.
You Can Choose From Many Different Styles
Properly executed, light will draw attention to textures and colors creating an emotional impact. Your contractor will use different techniques to create a warm, beautiful, and safe outdoor space. These methods along with the function of the lighting help determine the type of fixture:
- Spotlights
- Floodlights
- Step lights
- Inground
- Bollard/post
- Pathway
Depending on the function and technique, your contractor can create impressions ranging from subtle to dramatic. Choosing particular light fixtures will create depth and a layer of beauty not seen in natural daylight. Additionally, a professional will keep your design cohesive and correctly balanced for perfect symmetry.
FAQs About Outdoor Lighting Installation Winston Salem Homeowners Pose
Presumably, before undertaking any renovations of your outdoor space, you’ll have many questions. We’ve answered a few of our most commonly asked ones below.
Why Should I Hire A Landscaper To Install My Outdoor Lights?
A garden should be lighted to bring out the beauty that is there.
– Frank B. Nightingale
Browse any home improvement store or search for outdoor lighting and you’ll find many DIY kits. The manufacturers of low voltage lighting promise it’s safe and easy for any homeowner to install. However, most DIY kits leave you with less than satisfying results.
Undoubtedly, installing outdoor lighting from a kit will illuminate your yard. However, landscape lighting is a true art form that weaves light to paint pictures in your garden. Assuredly, a professional contractor can skillfully install fixtures contrasting light and shadow to create a masterwork.
Moreover, the lighting fixtures used by landscapers are far superior to those you can buy at the home improvement store. Our supplier, Vista Professional Outdoor Lighting manufactures fixtures with high-grade components. Thus, you’re assured of flawless functionality withstanding the harshest environmental conditions.
How Much Will Outdoor Lighting Cost?
Certainly, each garden has a different size, shape, and intended use. The amount of lighting and type of fixtures can also affect your price. Plus, outdoor light fixtures are available in many different finishes. Thus, we cannot give broad-based pricing.

Hardscapes Winston Salem Home and Business Owners Love
A well-designed and crafted hardscape adds a completely different aesthetic and useful appeal to a yard that landscaping alone simply does not offer homeowners or business owners. Not sure what the difference is between hardscaping and landscaping? Do not worry, you are not alone! Our latest blog at Landscape Solutions and Design discusses the difference as well as showcases hardscapes Winston homeowners and business owners love.

Hardscapes Winston Homeowners and Business Owners Love
Landscaping is simply creating and maintaining the living aspects of your residential or commercial yard. That includes all the grass, shrubs, trees, flowers, and any necessary lawn care and maintenance. In contrast, hardscaping is creating those non-living aspects of your yard that typically involve stonework. This could be anything from a paver patio to an outdoor kitchen.
In our many years of hardscaping we have discovered some of the more popular types of hardscapes. Those include:
- Patio
- Outdoor kitchen
- Retaining wall
- Water features
- Pavers
- Outdoor fireplace
- Fire pit
Each hardscape provides a different benefit and use. The first factor in deciding which hardscape is best for you is breaking it down into residential versus commercial.
If you own a business, the exterior is the first impression your customers or clients will have of your business. Therefore, you want it to look beautiful! Hardscapes are a great way to obtain a sleek and stunning look outside of your business.
Many business owners consider adding hardscapes along with landscapes for an overall impressive appeal. Common hardscape choices to increase curb appeal among Winston businesses include:
- Pavers
- Patio spaces
- Retaining walls
- Unique walkway
Several restaurants also vamp up their patio spaces with fire pits to encourage outdoor dining when it is a little chillier outside. At Landscape Solutions, we also offer numerous commercial landscaping services.
Outdoor living continues to be an increasingly popular trend among North Carolina residents. In that vein, hardscapes provide ways to create an outdoor living space that is perfect for creating your own backyard oasis.
Al Fresco Dining
Eating outside is extremely popular in the Piedmont Triad area due to our relatively mild climate. This means we often get requests for outdoor kitchens, outdoor grills, and outdoor fireplaces. Each provides a wonderful way to make meals outside. If you add on a patio, then you also have the perfect space to enjoy your culinary labors outside.
Calming Water
The sound of water or merely looking at water provides a serenity that not many other things do. That is one of the many benefits provided by adding a water feature in your yard. One popular choice is backyard waterfalls. There are hardscapes available for both pondless waterfalls and those with a pond. No matter which you chose it is certain to provide a calming sanctuary right in your own yard.
Crackling Fire Pits
A final common hardscape request is a fire pit. Nothing beats the sound of listening to a crackling fire. Plus, it is a great way to provide warmth when hanging outside with family and friends. The entire family will enjoy making fun memories toasting smores around the fire pit.
Commonly Asked Questions About Hardscapes
Like any other building service, it is common to ask an abundance of questions before adding on a hardscape of any kind to your home or business. Below are the most frequent inquiries we hear regarding hardscapes.
How will I know what the hardscape will look like?
We now utilize 3D designs that show you what the hardscape or landscape design will look like right on your property. Additionally, we work closely with you to decide everything from materials to placement. We discuss all those details thoroughly with every client. These discussions provide a great way to understand the design before it is completed.
What will my hardscape design and installation cost?
Every single hardscape design we create and install is unique. Therefore, we do not have one set price for each type of hardscape. The cost is dependent on various factors, including:
- Materials (for instance, natural stone costs more than concrete)
- Scope of project
- Design time and type (for example, our 3D designs cost a different fee)
- Installation time
These are only a few variables to consider when determining hardscape prices. At the beginning of each project, we provide a detailed quote based on your needs and budget.
How long will it take to create my hardscape?
Like price, there is no one answer to this question. It is dependent on just as many variables as price. At the start of your project, we will discuss a timeline specific to your project and set tentative project completion dates.
If you are looking for a way to create an outdoor space in your yard that is beautiful and usable, then hardscapes are the perfect option for you! Give us a call today at 336-442-0160 to request a free quote and discuss your hardscape Winston residential or commercial needs in-depth.

Hardscapes Near Me – Who to Hire and What to Build?
There are two questions you should ask yourself when deciding on hardscapes for your home. Those questions are:
- What contractor is the best fit?
- Which hardscapes are right for you?
Hardscape Contractors
Let us start with question one… what contractor is the best fit? You want to hire someone to design and build your hardscapes that provides the following benefits:
- Superior materials
- Excellent customer service
- Competitive prices
- Third-party verification
These items listed above are crucial to consider when hiring a hardscapes contractor. At Landscape Solutions & Design, we are happy to share that we excel in all four of these points.
Superior Materials
You need to hire someone that understands which materials work best with the hardscape you want. For instance, they can let you know if pavers are a better choice than stone, or vice versa, depending on which hardscape you want. Experienced contractors also fully understand your budget and will select materials that fit within that budget, but do not impact quality. Our experienced team at Landscape Solutions always works closely with our clients to choose materials that are optimal for the client and their hardscape needs.
Excellent Customer Service
It is important to work with a team who is not only responsive, but professional in those responses. You need a professional that listens to your needs and wants, to create the hardscape you are envisioning. At Landscape Solutions, our customers are always our top priority. We always listen to our clients needs to design and construct hardscapes they absolutely adore.
Competitive Prices

On the other hand, you also do not want to pay ‘an arm and a leg’ either. Landscape Solutions is proud to offer competitive pricing with all our hardscape and landscape services.
Third-party Verification
Just like any other service, it is always important to read past online reviews of the business. This gives you great third-party verification on the services they provide.
We are proud of our stellar customer reviews at Landscape Solutions. Below is a recent review from a satisfied client who we recently worked with on a variety of services.
“I am a repeat customer with Kostas and the team. I did a simple paver patio with landscaping at our last house which turned out exactly as I had hoped. So, when we moved and needed another patio it was an easy choice. This time we added an outdoor kitchen, irrigation, and a fence to go with our landscaping and patio. Kostas was a one-stop shop for the entire yard. He and his team worked with us on every step of the way to ensure it turned out exactly how we wanted it!”

Hardscape Options
Moving on to question two… Which hardscapes are right for you? There are numerous hardscape options to consider. Therefore, the process of choosing one or more can feel overwhelming.
Here are the top five main hardscape choices.
- Retaining walls
- Patio
- Outdoor kitchen
- Sidewalks & Driveway
- Outdoor fireplace or fire pit
Retaining Walls
There are many reasons why retaining walls are beneficial. One of the biggest advantages is they keep slopes intact. Consequently, they prevent damaging runoffs from heavy rainstorms.
Patio
Paver patios are a great choice for creating a space to sit and enjoy your backyard. They provide a sturdy surface to walk on and set up furniture on. When completed by a professional, they also are stunning spaces.
Outdoor Kitchen
An outdoor kitchen is a great way to enjoy cooking a meal outdoors. You have everything you need to make lunch or dinner right in your own backyard! Here are some amazing ideas to get your creative juices going on the possibilities an outdoor kitchen offers homeowners.
Sidewalks & Driveway
Sidewalks and driveways are essential, but often overlooked parts of your yard. These spaces are vital to maintaining car and pedestrian flow to and from your house. Just because they are essential, does not mean they have to be boring though. An experienced hardscape designer can talk you through all your options and how to make them visually appealing.
Outdoor Fireplace or Fire Pit
Outdoor living is an increasingly popular service requested in landscape design. People want to enjoy nature at home more than ever. In North Carolina, it can get chilly even on summer nights, so an outdoor fireplace or fire pit is the perfect solution for warmth. They are also an ideal way to roast marshmallows!
Frequently Asked Questions on Hardscapes
Below are a few commonly asked questions regarding hardscapes. Still have questions? Simply, give us a call at 336-442-0160 and we are happy to answer those for you.
How much does hardscaping cost?
The scope of the project impacts the final price. For example, what materials you choose to use for your hardscape will change your final costs. However, at Landscape Solution we work with you to customize your project to your needs and budget.
What is the difference between hardscaping and landscaping?
Simply put, landscaping is all the ‘living’ services completed for your yard. Such as mowing or putting in planters. In contract, hardscaping is all the ‘non-living’ elements of your yard. For example, retaining walls or outdoor kitchens mentioned earlier in this blog.
How long will it take to complete my hardscape project?
Like cost, this is hard to determine without knowing the scope of your project. In our free price quotes, we provide more details on timelines once we know more about what your project will entail. Our team always works hard to stay on the timeline promised to our clients.

10 Fire Pit Ideas for Outdoor Living in North Carolina
We’re so fortunate to live in North Carolina, where we can enjoy outdoor living most of the year. This is particularly true if you have a backyard fire pit. However, determining what type of outdoor fire pit to build for your unique space can be overwhelming. To help, we’ve provided 10 fire pit ideas that are perfect for North Carolina living, regardless of the size of your backyard or patio.
Getting Started with Fire Pit Design Ideas
Consider the outdoor space you have available. Is it grass? Is it a brick patio? A concrete patio? Do you have pavers already in place? Is your outdoor living space already furnished? You’ll want to consider these things before settling on a specific fire pit design.
For example, if you’ve recently purchased angular Adirondack chairs, or you have a retaining wall already in place, factor them into your overall aesthetic. Angular furniture, for example, may not work as well around a circular fire pit. Likewise, if your seating area is a circle, a square fire pit may not work as well. Depending upon your space, you may benefit most from a tabletop fire pit, if you’re working with a smaller space.
During a free consultation with Landscape Solutions & Design, Inc., we can create a preview of what your landscape will look like, using design software. That way, if you think you know what you want, we can show you what it will look like. If it isn’t the look you want, you can revise your design plan before breaking ground on the project.
Choosing an Expert for Outdoor Living
If you’re unsure which fire pit idea is right for you, or if you’d like an estimate before embarking on a DIY fire pit project, call our expert team at Landscape Solutions and Design, Inc. Our certified landscaping design specialists have decades of experience in helping homeowners throughout the Triad, Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Southern Pines areas. We are here to help transform your property from ordinary to extraordinary. Our residential services include everything you need to make the most of outdoor living in North Carolina.

10 Fire Pit Ideas for Transforming Your Patio, Deck, or Backyard
-
Simple Fire Pit
A simple fire pit is exactly what you think it is: simple. This type is often inexpensive and easily created. If you’re looking for a DYI firepit, this is probably the best bet. Typically circular in nature, and constructed of brick or stone, then filled with lava rock, this simple fire pit will provide warmth and a nice evening ambiance without any frills.
-
Gravel Fire Pit
This type of backyard fire pit is a step above the simple fire pit. A gravel fire pit is best for a grassy backyard. All you need for this type of space is gravel, large stones to form the pit, and a few chairs. As a wood-burning firepit, this simple, but attractive gathering place is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
-
Concrete Fire Pit
A concrete bowl fire pit adds a modern look to your patio. As the name implies, this fire pit is best suited for a hard surface, and includes a concrete bowl, filled with stones, and lit using gel fuel canisters.
-
Outdoor Fireplace
If you want all the benefits of a fire pit, plus added wow factor, consider an outdoor fireplace. Made of stone or brick, an outdoor fireplace can create an absolutely elegant look, all the while providing a gathering space and plenty of warmth for cool evenings.
-
Spa Style
If you’re looking to create an outdoor spa, a fire pit built into your pavers, brick, or stone patio next to the jacuzzi or pool can turn your backyard into a Zen-like oasis. Using soft, calming colors on furnishings, and soothing colored fire glass can help enhance the relaxing aesthetic.
-
Gas Fire Pit
Commonly found at upscale hotels and restaurants, a gas fire pit offers a sophisticated look while being low maintenance. Using propane or other gas, these elegant outdoor fire features are often not the centerpiece of a seating area, but rather a complementary feature. Colored or clear fire glass is popular in gas fire pits.
-
Inground Fire Pit
Inground fire pits can be a wonderful addition to your backyard. However, they require significant design, preparation, and work. Inground fire pits are safer than above-ground fire pits, as an out-of-control fire is less likely to spread. They also ensure that the flames look like they are coming from the ground, which can be a beautiful effect. Unfortunately, they can be risky if you have children or pets, who could fall into them. They are lined with rocks, and topped with wood for burning, providing a campfire vibe. Inground fire pits can also be built into patios. Just be sure to hire an expert to ensure safety.
-
Sunken Fireside Seating Area
Sunken fireside seating areas are a popular choice. Built below the ground level, or on a lower patio level, this design is particularly helpful for cold nights. The sunken aspect provides a bit of a barrier and cozy feeling. Sunken patios accented with brick, stone, and crafted using pavers are extremely popular.
-
Tabletop Fire Pit
A tabletop fire pit is a great option for small spaces. They may not provide as much heat as a fireplace, but they certainly help transform outdoor kitchens and dining areas into beautiful spaces. Tabletop fire pits are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and styles to meet your unique goals.
-
Outdoor Kitchen Combo
Combining a fireplace with a grill, or even a pizza oven is very trendy. It’s also practical. While sitting around the fire, you can be preparing dinner, and enjoying the savory smells of your meal. Outdoor kitchen combos create a virtual kitchen and dining room in your back yard.
Is it safe to build a DIY fire pit?
The answer to this is “maybe.” Certainly, those with building experience will likely have no trouble building one that is safe. However, there are many, many considerations before building a fire pit. You’ll want to ensure that it doesn’t have proximity to flammable materials such as chair cushions, sofas, or other cloth-covered furniture. If you’re creating a gas firepit, you’ll also want to ensure that you’re attentive to all details, to prevent injury.
If you’re an inexperienced DIYer, your best bet is to contact a landscape design specialist for help in building a fire pit on your deck, in your backyard, or on a patio. Our team of specialists at Landscape Solutions & Design will work with you to determine the proper size, location, and materials that will help bring your outdoor living space to life.
What is the average size area for a fire pit?
There is no average size for a firepit. However, common sizes are 3’ wide. For fire pits that are more of a focal point, they are commonly 6” wide. If you buy a store-bought pit, you can expect it to be 24-30 inches in diameter.
What is the best base for a fire pit?
The best base will depend upon the type of pit you intend to design or have constructed. Stone and concrete are good choices for many homeowners, and commercial business owners. If you’re unsure about which base to choose, consider hiring an expert landscaping company, who can guide you to the best option.
Should I choose a gas fire pit or a wood fire pit?
Both gas and wood burning fire pits have advantages. A wood burning fire pit provides a natural campfire smell and a less controlled burn. However, wood-fueled fires can take longer to start, and they are not clean burning. You also need to put more effort into keeping the fire going. Of course, you’ll also need a stockpile of wood.
Gas fueled fire pits are generally more expensive, and the gas is highly flammable, so they can be dangerous. On the other hand, gas-burning pits are quick to light and clean burning.
What fire pit design is most popular?
There is no singular design that is noticeably more in demand than others. Circular, stone fire pits are timeless and have been popular for years. More modern, sleek styles, that use gas, are popular for commercial properties such as hotels and restaurants.

- Roast Some Marshmallows (And More!) – a modern outdoor fireplace can be the backbone of your outdoor kitchen. You can grill and roast foods if you choose one that’s big enough. Even a small burning fire is a great place to make s’mores with your family.
- Add Value to Your Home – most home improvements are going to add value to your home. However, an outdoor living space is one of the top ways to increase the value. A fireplace can make your home easier to sell for a higher price. Even if you don’t intend to sell your home anytime soon, a higher assessed value means that you will qualify for more if you ever want a home equity loan or line of credit.
- Bug Repellent – If you choose a wood-burning fireplace, you can say goodbye to mosquitoes and other bugs. It’s a natural repellent without the use of harsh chemicals.
Most homeowners get a fireplace for the aesthetics, but there are so many other good reasons to install a fireplace! Remember, outdoor fireplaces come in a very wide range of styles. Our team here at Landscape Solutions & Design Inc. can help you find the best design for your backyard.
How Businesses can Benefit from Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces aren’t just for homes. There are several benefits for businesses as well. Fire features work well for businesses such as restaurants, bars, wineries, breweries, event spaces, and any other commercial location that wants a gorgeous outdoor focal point.
If you create an outdoor deck, patio, or pavilion with a fire feature, you’ll extend the number of customers you can serve at one time. Outdoor fireplaces also mean you can use this seating area longer, both on cool evenings and into the fall and winter, since it provides a heat source.
One of the best benefits that some businesses don’t realize is that outdoor features can really help your brand stand out. Not every homeowner has the space or budget for their own fireplace. So, they’ll come to you for that cozy experience with their family.
Also, during this period of Covid restrictions on restaurant capacity, having an outdoor area attracts many more patrons. They will feel safer outdoors than inside, and a heat source makes outside dining possible for most of the year.
You can learn more here about our landscape design and services for commercial properties.
Some Fireplace Disadvantages
Before you install a fireplace on your deck or patio, we want to be upfront about some of the disadvantages. Instead of a fireplace, you may want to choose a different type of fire feature.
First, fireplaces are big. You need a large outdoor space in order to have a fireplace, although it does depend on the type you choose. Because they are so big, they can also be more expensive than some of the alternatives we’re going to mention.
Fireplaces can also block your view due to the large chimney. The ambiance is nice, especially at night. However, if you really love watching the sunset from your deck or looking at the landscape from your patio, a fireplace might get in the way. Our experienced design team can help you determine the best location to minimize the obstruction.
Keep in mind that it will also at least partially block the view to your own back yard. So, if you like to keep an eye on your kids or pets from the window, a fireplace might not be the best option.
As you can see, there aren’t really many disadvantages to a fireplace in your outdoor area. Whether you choose a wood-burning or another type of fireplace, it is going to make your outdoor area into an oasis. However, if a fireplace isn’t the right option for you, we have some great alternatives that may better suit your needs.
Alternatives to Fireplaces
The good news is that there are many alternatives if you want a smaller, less expensive alternative to a traditional fireplace!
You can start by considering a chimenea. Chimeneas are a type of fireplace, but smaller and with a different look. Most are clay, but they are also available in cast iron or aluminum. Chimeneas are free-standing and you can use them for traditional cooking as well as creating a warm, inviting ambiance.
You may also consider a fire pit. Wood-burning fire pits are common and inexpensive, but do have some disadvantages. Namely, you have to always ensure you have enough wood on hand, and you have to be careful of flying embers and sparks. A gas fire pit is a little more expensive upfront, but they are generally safer and less expensive to run than propane options. Fire pits give you the feeling of a fireplace, but without obstructing your view. You can also consider a fire bowl, which is like a fire pit, but self-contained and mobile. If you like to reconfigure your outdoor seating often, a fire bowl is a great choice.
Fire tables and fire columns are also options to consider, especially if you have a smaller deck or patio. Unlike an outdoor wood-burning fireplace or gas fireplace, fire tables and columns are typically compact and give off less heat.
Types of Outdoor Fireplaces
If you’d like to install a fireplace, your first step is to determine what fuel type you want. Our team has experience installing all types of fireplaces. Your outdoor setting, personal design preference, and budget will all help you determine the best fuel type for you.
When you think of these fire features, the first vision that comes to mind is probably a large wood-burning one, made from stone or brick. A wood fireplace is a traditional option. They are easy to install and give you that warmth so many people love. However, with wood, you do have to do more upkeep. You’ll also need a screen or guard to ensure there are no flying sparks or embers. Although the chimney should funnel most of the smoke up and away from your backyard, a wood burning fireplace dose have an undeniable smoky smell.
Your second option is gas. Many modern outdoor fireplace options are gas, because they can have a sleeker look. With gas, you don’t necessarily need a chimney, depending on the setup. However, you can still have a brick or stone chimney if you love the look. A gas fireplace does require us to install a gas line, so the upfront cost is a bit higher. Gas as a fuel source is the cheapest option, though, so over time the gas line pays for itself. A gas fireplace will not be as hot as a wood fireplace, which is an advantage in the summer, but a disadvantage heading into fall and winter.
Your fireplace can also be propane. With propane, you get a cleaner fuel source, but the fireplace will still get hot as with a wood burning fireplace. It’s more expensive than gas, but you don’t have the clean-up work you have with wood. It’s a good middle ground for some people.
The last fireplace fuel option is gel. This is a fantastic choice if you want to avoid the disadvantages of other types of outdoor fireplaces. Gel is basically a bio-ethanol fuel, which won’t produce smoke or ash. You don’t need a gas line either, nor do you need an electric hook-up. Gel is the lightweight, easy option, but of course it comes at a price. It’s more expensive than other fuel sources, especially if you want a big fireplace.
Location is Everything – Placing Your Outdoor Fire Feature
When it comes to installing any fire feature, location is everything. We can help you design your outdoor space with the perfectly-located fireplace. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Wind can be a drag, especially for a wood fireplace or fire pit. We can help you configure the fireplace so wind isn’t a huge problem every time you want to relax outside in front of a fire.
Speaking of relaxing in front of a fire, you’ll need to consider seating. The design of most fireplaces allows mainly for seating facing one side of the structure. However, some are open to three sides and others are more like a pass-through so you could have seating on opposite sides. Fire pits, bowls, tables, and columns are better if you want seating on all sides or in a circle.
The perfect placement also takes your neighbors into consideration. You can use your fireplace to create a bit of privacy by placing the back toward a neighboring property. We can use additional landscaping features to give you even more privacy, if you desire.
Of course, as mentioned previously, you want to make sure that your new fireplace doesn’t obstruct your view. When you work with our team, we don’t just build a fireplace and call it a day. We look at the entire landscape to ensure that this new feature will work perfectly to enhance your view. Our design team can help you choose between all the fire feature ideas that might work for you.
Why You Should Hire a Professional to Install Your Fireplace
You may have seen some companies selling fireplace kits. We want to caution you against these DIY kits, unless you have prior fireplace installation experience. There’s a lot that can go wrong, and whenever fire is part of the process, your safety is at risk. If you’re installing a permanent fireplace, hire a professional team like Landscape Solutions.
Remember, in some cases, hiring a professional may be a requirement. Many cities and counties require that a professional must install any gas line. You may also need a license or permit to install a fireplace. We know exactly what paperwork you need in different locations through the Triad and beyond. We’ll handle the hard part for you!
It’s important to work with a company you trust. Our team has experience with a wide variety of projects and we’d like to work with you as well. You can read real customer reviews here.

Expertly-Crafted Waterfall Designs for Your Landscaping
There is something about the sound and sight of flowing water. Something about the agile way in which it moves among obstacles and creates a path. Despite the objects in its way, it conquers; it flows. Gracefully, it mingles with nature and pulls you into its peaceful journey. It’s simply mesmerizing. At Landscape Solutions & Design, we create expertly-crafted waterfall designs to include you in this soothing sight and sound. We strive to mesmerize you, your family and your guests as you each lounge in your backyard landscape.
Even if you don’t yet have a backyard waterfall to lead you towards these meditative moments, we’ve found a few of our favorite quotes to help get you there.
The Wondrous World of Waterfalls
Since nearly the beginning of time, humanity has wondered at the spectacular sight of a beautiful waterfall. Here are a few of their words of appreciation.
“There’s no better place to find yourself than sitting by a waterfall and listening to its music.” Roland R Kemler
“Just let go – and fall like a little waterfall.” Bob Ross
“There is a waterfall in every dream. Cool and crystal clear, it falls gently on the sleeper, cleansing the mind and soothing the soul.” Virginia Alison
“There’s hope at the bottom of the biggest waterfall.” Patrick Ness
How You Can Soothe Your World with Waterfall Designs
Now that you’re feeling the ebbing peace of waterfall methodology, let’s gently ease into waterfall designs and options that add soothing sound and mellow motion to your world and outdoor living space. Our design team takes its waterfall approach and relaxation techniques very seriously. Just a few of our outdoor living project ideas include:
Swimming Pool Waterfall
In itself, a pool is a delightful oasis swimming in the liquid gold that brings peace to our world. Adding the soothing sound of a pool waterfall brings delight to our ears and eases our eyes as well. Float in your oasis as water trickles or even rushes around you. At night, incorporate underwater lighting to make your pool dynamic for evening entertaining as well!
Reflective Wonders
Obviously, a fire feature is lovely on its own. Whether you have a fire pit of large boulders or a fireplace, the way the flames reflect and dance in the flow is mesmerizing. Create your outdoor fireplace with a water feature by its side. Or, design a firepit with flowing liquid nearby. Whether this is done with a backyard pond and a waterfall spillway, or with waterfall design incorporated into your area, it’s a lovely addition.
Perfect Your Patio
Sometimes, patio furniture alone isn’t enough to make your patio pop. However, a flowing pondless waterfall design will. Lounge in a lovely chaise by a cascade of beauty. Or, grill by the cool sounds of nature flowing right on your back lawn.
Delight Your Deck
You needn’t relegate a fabulous waterfall design to your own backyard. Therefore, think about the big picture and create a delightful dream deck with a waterfall flowing down its side. Our expert design team at Landscape Solutions & Design will help you find the perfect match with a stunning waterfall.
Awesome Outdoor Living Room
Similarly, an outdoor living room is the perfect seating area in which to add a little coolness and motion. Incorporating gently falling water within this outdoor living area encourages relaxation and adds a unique focal point to your outdoor décor. You can include a pond nearby or a pondless waterfall.
Killer Kitchens
Likewise, all outdoor rooms benefit. Clearly, it may be odd to add a waterfall feature to your indoor kitchen. Although, adding this water feature to your outdoor kitchen is kind of cool. Literally. Grill in pleasure while a cascading shower entertains, cools and relaxes you and your guests.
Gorgeous Garden Waterfall Design
Tropical plants and water together simply make sense. Whether you have a working garden with fruits and veggies, a Japanese garden with fabulous flowers or something in between, waterfalls make your yard a paradise. Even though your outdoor area is right out your back door, you’ll feel transported to a tropical wonderland with a garden waterfall.
Gather at the Gazebo
A gazebo makes a fantastic relaxing and entertaining area as well. Consider strolling by a pondless waterfall to get there. Or, place a cascading masterpiece nearby to admire and listen to while you lounge.
Perk Up Your Pergola
Since you’re providing a little coolness with shade and visual height with a pergola, continue the idea with a waterfall. Dark wood, such as teak, looks lovely and exotic when teamed with reflective, flowing water. Add some climbing flowers (moonflowers are lovely in the evening) and dramatic lighting for a restful area day and night.
Enhance Entryways
Truly, any area of your yard benefits from flowing water. Enhance the aesthetic appeal of your entranceway with front yard outdoor design. Small water features incorporated into natural areas or even larger flowing water built into a hardscape with large boulders and pebbles make for a dramatic entrance. Guests enjoy this curb appeal as much as a homeowner does.
Outdoor Décor that Complements Your Waterfall Wonderland
To help you truly envision entertaining and relaxing in your water wonderland, envision a few outdoor accessories to complement your liquid landscape. From furniture and outdoor rugs, to pillows and windchimes, peripherals complete your outdoor living design.
- Outdoor furniture. Since you’ve created a place to rest and relax, do it expertly. A chaise lounge is the ultimate piece of furniture designed for relaxing. Place each lounge chair for optimal views. Additionally, consider snuggling a hammock into your outdoor living design.
- Sounds. Since waterfalls are also a sensory experience, comingle other delightful sounds. Windchimes and craftily-placed speakers enhance your outdoor living space even further.
- Materials. Think about materials that add to the tropical feel of your yard. Dark teak wood provides deep contrast. Free-formed shapes, stone and rock match the flowing theme.
- Outdoor rugs and pillows. Maintain the water theme and choose outdoor rugs and pillows with colors of the sea or designs of a Japanese garden. Flowing shapes and tropical designs pull your décor together.
If this seems like a lot to consider for your outdoor space, don’t worry. Our team at Landscape Solutions and Design can help you with all of the above!
How Do You Make a Natural Waterfall?
Moreover, all of these fabulous ideas beg an intrinsic question: How do you make a natural waterfall? The development process of waterfall designs is critical. Gravity and agile methodology are key in our waterfall approach to liquid hardscapes. To re-create nature, we must mimic nature. We envision a boulder or natural stone not as obstacles but as conduits in our process of creating a natural waterfall. They don’t block the path; they are our path to creating a true backyard oasis.
Another question our homeowners ask: Does landscaping add value to your home? This answer is not as cut and dried. Generally, absolutely! Enhancing the landscape of your yard is pretty much always a wise idea. However, it has to be done right. Use an expert. Otherwise, you may end up with a discombobulated mess. Plus, you may be unintentionally creating safety hazards. Especially, this is true when heights and motion are involved.
Approaching landscape design with good intentions and a vision in your head is akin to finding a fun project on Pinterest and thinking one can replicate it. Obviously, if our clients have that particular talent to do that sort of thing on their own, we’re impressed. However, many of the rest of us take on a Pinterest project with motivation and excitement only to later discover that a little more expertise is needed. Ultimately, we may wish to claim that our kids created the final project! We all need a scapegoat, after all.
To ensure that your outdoor living design is visually pleasing AND safe, it’s imperative to use a professional.
