We all know the story: you’ve been dreaming of the perfect home for years and you’re finally ready to build a custom home on LBI! You’ve probably designed the best gourmet kitchen, arranged the furniture in the main bedroom exactly the way you want it in your head, and decided which entertainment features are most important to have in your family room, but what about the landscaping? At Stonehenge Building and as lifelong LBI area residents, we know that our outdoor spaces are as important as our indoor spaces, which is why we’re sharing our landscaping tips for your custom home on LBI.
When people think of landscaping, they usually think about curb appeal, or making their home look nice to guests and neighbors. To achieve the picture-perfect portrait we all desire for the exteriors of our homes, our Stonehenge team coordinates with local landscape architects to help our homeowners design their curb appeal—and the overall flow of their outdoor space. Working with a local landscape architect not only guarantees a seamless plan for flower beds and landscape features, but also can help guide homeowners in choosing native or suitable plants for LBI’s environment and climate.
One of our favorite landscaping tips for your custom home on LBI is to encourage homeowners to think about how they’ll use their outdoor space. It’s one thing to have a beautiful exterior and greenery or blooms year round, but what about a functional outdoor living space? A pool or spa area? Or even a patio, firepit, and outdoor living room?
Anytime we can recommend one of these features to our LBI custom homeowners, we do because we know a cozy and inviting outdoor space can extend your season here on LBI and give you the feeling of increased square footage to your home. Imagine a beautifully landscaped yard, carefully laid out around a spa-like pool and fireside sitting area. A gourmet outdoor kitchen nestled under a pergola or upper deck with additional seating overlooking an outdoor TV or facing one of our many intercoastal waterways. Your exterior space is a valuable part of your real estate, not just to impress the neighbors with a well-manicured and laid out landscape, but because it can bring you more ways to enjoy your custom home on LBI. Though many of us dream big, there are some details we may overlook. At Stonehenge Building, our dedicated team is here to help our homeowners through every step of the building process, including providing guidance for all aspects of the project such as landscaping tips for your custom home on LBI and making sure we think about all the details so you don’t have to do it all.
