The Benefits of Landscaping

Investing in professional landscape architecture and installation can have a transformative impact on your WNC property beyond being an aesthetic upgrade. At E.K. Construction, we've witnessed firsthand the profound ways in which well thought out landscaping can enrich the lives of our residential and commercial clients.

Increase Property Value

Well-designed and maintained landscaping has been shown to significantly increase the overall value of a property. This can increase property values by 100% or more. By enhancing curb appeal and creating inviting outdoor living spaces, professional landscaping can make your home or business more appealing to prospective buyers.

From strategically planted trees to lush flower gardens, a beautifully landscaped property makes a lasting first impression. This improved curb appeal not only boosts your home's value but can also instill a greater sense of pride and enjoyment for you and your family.

Better Health and Wellness

Numerous studies have shown that spending time in well-designed green spaces reduces stress, improves mood, and can even boost immune function. Let us bring the green space to you the profound mental and physical health benefits associated with exposure to natural environments. Spending time in well-designed green spaces can reduce stress, improve mood, and even boost immune function.

Increased Energy Efficiency

Strategically placed trees, shrubs, and other landscaping elements can help to regulate the temperature of your home or business, reducing energy consumption and costs associated with heating and cooling. This eco-friendly approach can also contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.

Landscape Design Process

We believe that the key to a successful landscape project lies in the collaborative design process.

Ennis King works closely with each client to ensure that the end result not only meets client's aesthetic preferences but also addresses their functional needs and long-term vision for their outdoor spaces. Our landscape design process works like this:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

During the first meeting, we take the time to understand goals, preferences, timeline and budget while framing realistic expectations and addressing challenges.

Step 2: Site Analysis

A comprehensive assessment of your property including factors like sun exposure, drainage, existing vegetation, and any local zoning or permit requirements is crucial before beginning. This steps ensures we don't waste time and money later on.

Step 3: Design

This step is where the vision starts to come to life. We work with you to map out exactly where everything will live, how to develop the land, and talk about what to expect as the landscape matures.

Step 4: Installation

Here, we execute the hardscaping and landscaping work. From site prep and grading to buying plants and planting, we'll ensure that your project is completed to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Planting

At the heart of every successful landscape design lies a carefully curated selection of plants that not only complement the aesthetic vision but also thrive within the environment and topography of the site.

The team at E.K. Construction takes pride in our ability to identify and incorporate the perfect plants for our clients properties. We've planted thousands of trees and plants in the last 20+ years, making us experts.

Whenever possible, we prioritize the use of native and regionally adapted plant species. These are hardy, drought-tolerant plants that contribute to the natural beauty of the landscape and support local ecosystems by providing valuable food and habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. As stewards of the environment, we are committed to promoting sustainable landscape practices that minimize resource consumption and environmental impact.

Whether you envision a meticulously manicured formal garden, a naturalistic meadow, or a lush, layered border, the landscape professionals at E.K. Construction have the expertise to bring your vision to life through thoughtful plant selection and placement.
