At Benninger Landscaping, we take a lot of pride in all things landscape design. From providing our customers with natural landscaping options to enhance the beauty of their homes to installing walkways, retaining walls, and even poolscapes, we do it all. And as you can imagine, things slow down for us a bit in fall. We’re still out here happily doing everything from sprinkler blowouts to building out the ideal playground design for your kids in the back yard (you know, so they can have somewhere to play after school to get rid of some of their excess energy before dinnertime).

No matter what project you’d like to have completed this fall, we would be happy to oblige. As we pointed out in a previous blog, fall is a great time to hire a landscaping company because not only can you generally get your project completed more quickly, but you also have the benefit of knowing that your outdoor space will be in good condition when spring rolls around next year.

Having said that, we think that there are a few things you can do for yourself while the weather starts to cool off a bit that will also help to improve your curb appeal. Here are our tips:

Now that fall is in full swing, the good people of Cornwall-on-Hudson are starting to enjoy sweaters, warm beverages, and football games. It’s the time of year where everything starts to change a bit and we start to anticipate all of the incredible holidays that come with cooler weather. Halloween means candy and costumes, Thanksgiving is for turkey and football, Christmas is for gift giving and family, and New Years is for celebrating and getting dressed up. There’s a lot to look forward to!

That means that landscape design isn’t likely to be at the front of your mind, but there are some compelling reasons for why it should be. As you can probably imagine, our landscaping business stays pretty busy from the beginning of spring all the way through summer. That means that fall is a great time to utilize our landscaping service because we can make your ideas a reality pretty quickly.

Here in Cornwall-on-Hudson, we’re finally starting to get a little taste of fall. As you can probably imagine, as a landscaping company, we’re pretty big fans of summer. Summer usually means backyard barbecues, baseball games, and delicious cold beverages. There’s something pretty special about fall as well though because when the breeze starts to feel a little bit chillier and you have a throw on a jacket in the morning on your way to work, the excitement starts to kick in.

Football is just starting back up again and watching your favorite team each week is always a blast. Halloween (and, of course, the candy that we enjoy on this holiday) are right around the corner. School is starting back up and soon we’ll be busy with making sure our kids are at the right practice at the right time. It’s also time to take care of something that you might not necessarily be looking forward to–your sprinkler blowouts.

Although many know us for our incredible landscape design and awe-inspiring hardscaped patios, porches, and poolscapes, we’re also incredibly passionate about the natural beauty of a well manicured lawn.

Backyards get a lot of attention when it comes to landscaping–we tend to focus on poolscapes and patios, and for good reason. If you’re anything like most homeowners, your backyard is where you keep your grill, host summer get-togethers, and spend time relaxing.

We’ve all seen the home renovation shows that put a lot of focus on the exterior of a person’s home. The setup is usually the same–people who are searching for a new home are given a handful of options to choose from. There are pros and cons to every option (just like there are pros and cons to buying a home in real life), but ultimately, the people who are doing the buying have to make a decision.

From there, the hosts of the show undertake the renovation and we get to see a few months of work condensed into an hour or so. At the end of the show, we see the finished product, which is often revealed by uncovering the exterior of the house they chose. It’s always pretty cool to see how a home that wasn’t anything particularly special can be completely and utterly transformed when it’s given a little bit of love.

What’s the one thing you can instantly do to improve your home’s curb appeal this summer? If you’re like most homeowners, the answer is making sure the lawn looks good. After all, you could have a freshly painted home with a nice new door and flowers lining your front porch, but if the lawn doesn’t look good, the whole vibe of the home gets brought down pretty darned quickly.

Luckily for you, Benninger Landscaping offers a unique lawn care service in Cornwall-on-Hudson!

Landscape design is a wonderful thing and when you choose to work with Benninger Landscaping, you can rest assured that all of your landscaping needs are in good hands. With plenty of experience in our industry, we know what it takes to transform your yard from pretty good to exceptionally wonderful. In today’s blog, we’ll take a look at a few ideas for landscape design that we think would enhance the look of any Cornwall-on-Hudson home.

Almost every yard could benefit from a little bit of strategic hardscaping, but for many people, the thought of hardscaping on their own leaves them feeling a bit unexcited. Sure, doing your own landscaping is something a number of people love doing as they find that it relaxes them and gives them the opportunity to spend some time in nature working to improve their homes (if that’s not you, don’t worry, because we’re landscaping experts as well!).

Hardscaping, on the other hand, leaves people feeling a bit less eager. As we noted in a previous blog (What Does Hardscaping Mean?), hardscaping is often best left to the pros due to the need for heavy machinery, labor, and building skills that are necessary to accomplish the task to the fullest.

Luckily for you and your Cornwall-on-Hudson yard, the team of hardscaping experts at Benninger Landscaping is up to the task! Whether you have a fully sketched out vision you’d like for our team to execute or you’re starting from scratch and need our help in deciding what options best suit your home and your personality, we’re here to make sure that the job gets done the right way.

Spring is here and that means everyone in the Cornwall-On-Hudson area is starting to think about the summer growing season and what they’re going to do for lawn care service.

For far too many residents of this area, lawn care service appears to be an afterthought. After a few good spring rains, the grass on the front lawn is suddenly out of control, and people scramble to hire the first person who shows up with a lawn mower.

However, you wouldn’t hire just anyone to babysit your kids or repair your broken plumbing, and we encourage you to apply this same level of excellence to your lawn care service.

For over 20 years, Benninger Landscaping has been setting new standards for lawn care service in the Cornwall-On-Hudson area. When it comes to our team, great customer service is still alive and well.

Any time residents of Cornwall-On-Hudson start thinking about making improvements to their landscaping or hardscaping, the question “how much is this going to cost?” isn’t far behind. Sure, homeowners in this area love the idea of establishing a landscape design theme or improving upon hardscaping projects that were installed many years ago, but it can sometimes be difficult to know if you’re really making the right decision for the long-term value of the property.

Here at Benninger Landscaping, we’re dedicated to providing people with landscaping and hardscaping services that they’ll love for a lifetime. Rather than trying to decide if hardscaping improvements are worth the cost, we encourage you to think about them in terms of return on investment (ROI).

If you’re strategic about the hardscaping project you choose–such as retaining walls, patios, or poolscapes–it can provide you with a nice boost in home value down the road. Not to mention the increased enjoyment you’ll get from your outdoor areas while you’re still living in the house!

A landscape design theme offers inspiration and guidance for decisions about how to create or improve landscaping on a particular property.

The landscape design theme you choose will help you to pick built features, distinguishing materials, a signature form, and recognizable spatial organization that all works together to beautify the property.

“Using a design theme is helpful because most of the decisions that must be made about the landscape are already made—they are inherent in the theme. A design theme can be based on a form (Figure 2), a style, a type of landscape, or a combination of any of the three,” explains the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS).
