We work closely with the homeowner to develop a comprehensive residential landscape plan. We have experience with a wide variety of plants, and we are adept at developing a landscape plan that will work well with Virginia’s changing climate.
Our goal is to install an outdoor space that is an extension of your home and your style, whether traditional or contemporary, city or county, by the bay or deep in the woods.
Our landscape design and installation professionals can completely transform your landscape into a beautiful, vibrant space filled with bright colors and lush greenery to keep you enjoying your front and backyard all year long.
Design Plan
It all begins with a design plan. Steve will meet with you at your home to discuss your vision and the scope of the project. He will usually take measurements and pictures. Within an established timeframe he will provide you with recommendations and a written proposal. This will help prioritize your project, giving you a plan of action so you can accomplish your goals in manageable phases or all at once.
When it comes to landscaping services, the location of your service provider matters. It’s important to choose a company that is familiar with the unique environment of our region — aspects like the overall climate, soil properties, local building codes, and much more are all taken into account when beginning a project. At Balanced View Landscaping, we blend our science and artistry expertise to produce stunning, dynamic, sustainable landscape designs.
Flower Bed Landscape Design
We do it all: in-ground, raised beds, fusion beds, and container gardens.
Flower beds are a beautiful addition to any yard, and they go a long way in creating curb appeal, which raises the home’s value. They add color and visual interest, and they make your yard look polished.
If appropriate, we use organic mulches and other measures to keep the beds properly hydrated, and we make sure the plants we use work in harmony to give you the most gorgeous flower beds in your neighborhood.
If your beds are not designed and prepared with the correct soil amendments, they can become susceptible to issues like:
- Wilted, unhealthy plants
- Weed growth
- Sloppy edges
- Compacted soil that inhibits plant growth
Let our team of experienced landscape bed contractors help you. Our services include:
- Bed design: We perform an on-site visit to evaluate your landscape’s layout. At this visit, we consider any space limitations you have and make suggestions based on past projects we’ve completed. We also implement your suggestions to create a functional and beautiful bed for your yard.
- Soil preparation: We adjust your soil’s quality to prepare it for plant growth. Our team adds beneficial microbes, organic compost, and fertilizer to ensure it’s ready to support the plants you want.
- Bed installation: With the prior steps completed, we will move on to the installation of your landscape bed. The installation process includes outlining the planned area, separating your bed from the rest of your yard, and installing the plant material. Depending on the scope of your particular project, we will completely re-do your landscape bed or improve its current condition.
Mulch Services
Why Mulch Is Important
Mulch protects the roots of your plants, keeps roots fresh and can reduce the need for watering. Also, note these benefits:
- Mulch looks good!
- Mulch protects trunk damage from lawn equipment.
- Mulch maximizes the growth of new trees.
- Mulch prevents weed growth.
- Mulch minimizes erosion.
Mulching is a simple way to refresh & enhance your landscape garden beds. Applying mulch does not only improve the appearance of the bed but provides many health benefits to the soil including supplementing nutrients and retaining moisture.
We are a trusted mulch provider in Hampton Roads. As a mulch installation company, we protect the health of your plant and flower beds. We have several different types of mulch to choose from so you can find the one that best fits with your outdoor space. Doing this periodically will reap huge benefits and can keep your plants thriving and happy.
Our Landscape Team is ready to weed your landscape beds, re-edge, and install mulch.
Tree Planting Services
Balanced View Landscaping assists residential and commercial property owners through the whole tree planting process, including:
- Choosing trees that will thrive in Virginia.
- Select specific conifers that will also thrive in our climate zone.
- We source our trees from local nurseries to find trees requested by the client
- We carefully handle the root ball and plant the tree at a proper depth.
- Once planted, the tree is staked properly to keep your tree from blowing over.
We work directly with you through the entire tree planting process from selecting the best tree that will thrive on your property to making sure it is properly planted.
We can also help you properly plant a tree that you have purchased.
Tree Shaping Service
Nothing looks worse than a lopsided tree. This can be easily corrected, but it is critical to the health of the tree that it be done at the right time of year depending on the species. While our team has the artistic eye for shaping and contouring your trees, their health is our foremost consideration.
Don’t Wait Too Long to Schedule Your Virginia Tree Shaping Service
Shaping a tree consists of balancing the growth habit of the tree. Some trees can look like unmanaged hair. Waiting too long in between trims will result in needing many years of corrective pruning. Trimming needs to happen annually or at least every two years depending upon species. We can properly trim the tree where necessary to bring it back under control and give it a more uniform look.
Conifer Landscaping Ideas
One of our favorite types of trees to incorporate into our landscape designs are the conifer tree species.
These ornamental species are characterized by their evergreen needles that — unlike deciduous tree leaves — do not drop annually. And rather than produce seeds in fruit, coniferous produce their seeds in the form of pinecones.
Landscaping with evergreens is the backbone of most garden spaces and conifers are the stars of that group, including pines, firs, spruces, cedars and sequoias. However, landscaping with conifers can be confusing. That’s why we recommend calling in Balanced View Landscaping to help.
