The right landscape design is both functional and beautiful, whether it’s outside your business or meant for the backyard. It’s important to design a space that highlights your property’s natural beauty and feels inviting. DRS Lawn & Landscape creates beautiful landscapes for residential and commercial clients in the Long Valley, NJ, area. They utilize masonry and fresh blooms, but trees and shrubs take center stage.

Here are a few advantages of adding these larger features to your landscape design:

• Improves Air Quality: All plants produce oxygen, but the size of trees and shrubs mean they have a bigger impact on the air quality in their vicinity. They filter the air to remove dust and other airborne pollutants. The result is more oxygen for people and animals—and less sneezing and sniffling.
• Provides Wildlife Habitats: Trees are home to birds and other types of wildlife that people enjoy watching on their property. If you have a large yard, add a few trees to give animals a source of food and shelter. You’ll have the chance to become an avid birdwatcher at home.
• Increases Shade: If you plan on using the outdoor living space during the summer, strategically placed trees and shrubs will make the experience more enjoyable. They’ll block the sun’s rays to keep you cool and safe from a sunburn. 
• Reduces Energy Consumption: While trees and shrubs provide shade outside, they’ll also keep you cool inside. A good landscape design will position tall trees or shrubs on the west and south sides of the house to block the sun from heating your home and forcing you to use the air conditioner.
• Enhances Curb Appeal: Flower gardens and hardscaping will improve the look of any property, and trees and shrubs add dimension and drama to the design. Since these plants tend to be large, they will frame your home’s windows and doors and provide beautiful color year-round.

Every area has native trees and shrubs that will grow and thrive throughout the region, and you can help the environment by bringing New Jersey’s most beautiful species into your yard.
