Landscaping Services
Many homeowners looking to improve their home’s value typically consider a kitchen or bath remodel. As a result, they tend to overlook the quick ROI that landscaping projects can provide. Compared to interior renovations or additions that can take months to complete, landscaping projects generally have a shorter timeline. Since most of the work occurs outside the home, disruptions to family life are significantly lessened.
Let's review some basic landscape terminology to help you decide which type of project is best for your home based on your family’s needs and budget.
Landscaping refers to the exterior areas around the home, including the individual elements used to create a cohesive and complimentary design.
Softscaping refers to the living plants incorporated into the design: Flowers, trees, shrubs, gardens, natural formations, grass, and other types of ground cover.
Hardscaping refers to the non-biological elements, including fountains, paved walkways, and architectural structures or features.
Grading is typically required to create a slight slope that allows water to drain away from the home’s foundation.
Landscape projects fall into one of two categories: front yard projects to improve a home’s curb appeal or backyard projects to provide a safe play area for the kids or to entertain friends and family.

A-10 Contracting has the expertise needed to remodel your outdoor spaces by utilizing a mix of soft and hardscape materials that perfectly complement your home’s design or architectural style. Here are some of our most popular landscaping projects to boost your home’s curb appeal or backyard functionality.
Full Backyard Remodels are a popular option for transforming a boring backyard into an exciting outdoor space for the kids, or entertaining purposes. Regardless of the size and scope of work, a backyard remodel will increase your home’s value. Chances are that your backyard will become your favorite place to start the day with a cup of coffee or a place to relax and unwind after a stressful day.
Walkways can do much more than provide a path from here to there. They can create boundaries between landscape materials or specific activity zones in either yard. Different materials, such as concrete, interlocking pavers, or gravel, can add texture, color, and visual interest to an otherwise dull surface.
Retaining Walls are generally used to keep a mass of earth or soil in place, making sloped surfaces more functional. Flattening out the slope can provide a space for walkways and garden beds. Most retaining walls are made from wood/timbers, masonry, interlocking concrete blocks, and poured concrete.
Garden Beds provide a blank canvas for combining bushes, flowers, and trees to add color and texture to any yard, large or small. For those with a green thumb, raised garden beds are ideal for growing fresh fruits and vegetables at home.
Exterior Lighting around your home improves safety and can set the mood, from calm and relaxing to it’s time for a party. LED lights are ideal for reducing energy usage while providing a lifecycle of 50,000 hours.
Outdoor Kitchens remain a popular backyard feature. They allow you to prepare food and drinks outside in the fresh air and can include most of the features found in your kitchen: stove/grill, sink, cabinets & countertops, refrigerator, and seating.
