Site Furnishings

Landscape site furnishings play a significant role in the experience of outdoor areas. Furnishings are a subtle yet powerful way to shape the visual character of a space. From benches to bike racks, planters, grills, and trash receptacles, site furnishings are essential for creating outdoor environments that are both beautiful and practical. Commercial-grade elements provide exceptional durability, surpassing that of consumer products

The primary purposes of landscape site furnishings is to make outdoor areas functional and comfortable. A well-placed bench provides a place to rest after a long walk, while a picnic table invites families and friends to gather and enjoy a meal together. Bike racks encourage eco-friendly  ransportation, and trash receptacles help keep the environment clean.
Without these essential elements, outdoor spaces would feel incomplete and less welcoming.

In addition to function, site furnishings contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of a space. Whether you’re looking at a sleek, modern bench or a decorative planter filled with colorful flowers, these elements help define the character and style of the area. Site furnishings turn spaces into destinations, inviting people to stay longer and fully enjoy their surroundings.

Questions & Answers

Here are some commonly asked questions about Down To Earth Landscape & Irrigation.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directs that hardscapes like patios, walkways, and driveways need a minimum grading of ¼ inch per foot away from the house in order to prevent settling of water. The final grading must be ½ inch per foot over a minimum distance of 10 feet. This grading must be done to make sure the water drains away from the foundation.

Landscape grading is a science, and it involves various aspects like soil, topography, construction, and horticulture.

A professional landscaper will analyze your land – the unevenness and evenness, the natural drainage pathways (if any), the slope, and recognize areas with poor drainage.

Once this analysis has been done, the landscaper will discuss the issues found with the property owner and then formulate a plan while keeping their needs in mind.

The landscaper will remove the topsoil so that the land below can be graded correctly. Grass and plants will be planted and given a certain time to develop roots.

After the vegetation has developed a root system, the topsoil will be added back, and the entire landscape will be leveled.

While some people would like to grade their landscape as a DIY project, leaving it to a professional landscaper is highly recommended.

Landscape grading requires a combined knowledge of topography, construction, and gardening. Therefore someone who is trained and has the required skills will be best equipped to execute it.

Grading requires digging up your land, which requires local permits. Also, there is a possibility that you might damage utility lines like water and gas while attempting to dig on your own.

To avoid this, it is best to contact a certified landscaping company that already has the permits required for this service. A professional will also be able to assess the requirements of your land and install the correct drainage system to meet those needs.
