Transforming your outdoor space into a dream landscape is an exciting journey that combines creativity with practicality. Whether you're a residential homeowner, a commercial property manager, or a local government entity in Tartu County and Southern Estonia, this guide will walk you through the essential steps to create a landscape that reflects your vision and meets your needs.

Understanding Your Space

Begin by taking a thorough inventory of your existing landscape. Note the areas that receive the most sunlight, the direction of prevailing winds, and any existing vegetation or structures. This will help you understand the potential and limitations of your space.

Consider how you want to use your outdoor area. Do you envision a serene garden, a space for entertaining, or perhaps a playground for children? List your priorities and any specific features you desire, such as a water feature, outdoor kitchen, or a particular style of garden.

Designing Your Dream Landscape

With a clear understanding of your space and needs, it's time to draft a master plan. This plan should include the layout of hardscapes, such as walkways and patios, as well as softscapes like gardens and lawns. Consider hiring a professional landscape designer if this task seems daunting.

Select plants that are suitable for your region's climate and soil conditions. Also, choose materials for your hardscapes that complement the style of your home or property and are durable enough to withstand local weather conditions.

Preparing for Transformation

Before any planting or construction begins, your site may need to be prepared. This could involve grading, soil amendment, or even excavation. AB LABIDAR OÜ has the expertise and equipment to handle these complex tasks efficiently.

Check with your local municipality to determine if any permits are required for your landscaping project. This is especially important for significant alterations or installations such as pools, large structures, or extensive hardscaping.

Implementing Your Landscape Design

Begin with the installation of hardscape elements, as these will define the structure of your landscape. This includes pathways, retaining walls, patios, and decks. Ensure that these elements are installed properly to avoid future issues.

Once the hardscapes are in place, you can start planting according to your design. Remember to space plants appropriately, considering their mature size, and to water them regularly as they establish roots.

Maintenance and Upkeep

A beautiful landscape requires ongoing maintenance. Develop a routine that includes weeding, pruning, fertilizing, and other tasks to keep your outdoor space looking its best.

As the seasons change, so will the needs of your landscape. Be prepared to adjust your maintenance routine and to protect your plants from extreme weather conditions.
