Each landscape project Landfare Ltd. designs and installs follows a philosophy that acts as a guide through the entire project. The goal is to create outdoor living and entertaining spaces that match perfectly with the esthetics of the exterior of each client’s home and the interior design choices the client has made. Going from the indoors to the outdoors should be a seamless transition, and Landfare Ltd. designs achieve that goal.

To make sure that transition works day and night, John Spayde, Landfare Ltd.’s designer, created the Seven Levels of Illumination,™ the company’s approach to lighting. This design concept considers each outdoor space, including the living areas, the property, all gardens and landscape, and the house itself.

Perfect For A Grilling Master

No outdoor entertaining area is complete without its own kitchen. Landfare Ltd. custom designs and builds full service outdoor kitchens. Of course there is a grill, sometimes two. But why stop there? Include a sink, mini-frig, ice maker, cooling drawers, trash container, and storage cabinets to make your outdoor kitchen fully functioning.

You won’t need to step into the house for a thing!

Creating the right ambiance for your home during the holidays takes planning, patience, attention to all the details and, in many instances, a team of professionals to execute the plan. Designing outdoor and indoor holiday decor is one way to share the spirit of the holidays with family and friends. Our designers meet with you to determine the overall theme of your design, preferred colors and if you would like to include iconic holiday symbols, like reindeer, bells or angels.

Lighting Your Outdoor Spaces

First the Landfare Ltd. team evaluates the trees in your yard, their position and limb structure. The focus is on the trees because they are the base for all lighting. We design and overall plan to light trees, doorways and other structures on your property.

We use only LED bulbs to create brightness and holiday magic. Depending on the design, we select white or colored bulbs. We especially like the icy brilliance of blue bulbs in a winter landscape. Tree limbs are wrapped with strings of bulbs – we never use netting. After the holiday season, we remove all lights and store them for the next year.

Entrances can be lit with bulbs or with indirect lighting. We custom create swags and wreaths that match back to your design as well as bountiful seasonal urns.

Indoor Design

It is important to create the perfect holiday effect for your home. From outdoor lighting and decor to holiday decor in the rooms of your home, we want to create a feeling of wonder and holiday peace. The design theme we use on the exterior of your home is brought inside. Here is where details are critical – each piece plays a part in creating the ambiance you want for your family and guests.

Vaulted ceilings beg for massive Christmas trees, and our team has the equipment needed to perfectly execute our design plan.  Mantels, stairways and tabletops are used to bring your holiday theme to life.

The Landfare Ltd. approach to design is very specific: we design and create outdoor living spaces that look and function beautifully, and transcend time or trend. Our motto, Capturing Nature Through Timeless Design™, tells the story of what we do.

When we begin creating a landscape design we consider the home’s architecture because we believe outdoor living spaces must enhance, not fight, with that architecture. We look at the home’s interior design and the choices the homeowners have made because we believe moving from indoors to outdoors should be a seamless transition.

The selection of hardscape materials like pavers and bricks should look as if they have been part of the home’s design from the beginning, not an afterthought. Pools, spas and water features should help create the ambiance not distract from it. Planting materials must work together to bring color and life to each season.

As homeowners update or renovate their homes, our landscape design evolves, too. New exterior structures, like garages or home additions, demand a thoughtful approach to enhancing the original landscape design. Through our long-term relationships with clients we are able to collaborate with them to create new outdoor living spaces and landscaping that evolve with the owner’s vision for their home.

Same Entrance with Redesigned Walkway and Landscaping

This home’s original landscape design, as seen on the left, was installed about 10 years ago, and continued to look very appealing. But the homeowners embarked on an extensive renovation that included an addition to the home. The new design, on the right, adds balance to the home’s architecture. The original gate and columns remain with a new bluestone paver walkway that leads directly to the front porch. The differences are substantial yet subtle, giving the home timeless curb appeal.

Just as interior design choices evolve, so do landscape designs. We think of it as a lovely symphony of design selections and professional installation that work together to create timeless outdoor environments for our clients. Each piece is carefully selected to ensure a beautiful finale!

Landfare Ltd. creates landscapes and outdoor living spaces for clients that enhance their lives through design. The goal is always to make each new component – landscape, hardscape, water features – blend seamlessly with the existing home and structures.

Our motto, Capturing Nature Through Timeless Design® helps guide our choice of materials for each project. We select landscape materials that work with each home’s existing landscape, incorporating client favorites and trees, shrubs and flowering plants that are conducive to strong, consistent growth in our climate. We always choose hardscape materials that are timeless so 25 years from now, the walkways, patios and stairways we design and build still look fresh, never outdated.

Bluestone, limestone and sandstone are particularly suited to match the design aesthetic of many of our clients’ homes. They are timeless materials that will always enhance the home and landscape. Take a look at some of the world’s most famous and enduring buildings, statues and monuments: timeless!

Timeless design takes thought, effort and a commitment to creating remarkable outdoor designs that will look great and function beautifully for a decades. For Landfare Ltd., it is the way we always approach a new project.

Designing For Every Day Of The Year

When designing a feature for your landscape, we consider how to create a showpiece that will represent your esthetic every day, every season and in every sort of weather.

The designers at Landfare Ltd. consider positioning: how will sunshine and shadows impact the feature? We plan for illumination that will create interest during sunshiny summer months, snow filled winter months and everything in between. What will a water feature look like when the water needs to be turned off.

Planning, thoughtfulness and purpose. It’s all part of the Landfare Ltd. process. See more here.
