Landscape design is always an integral part of residential or commercial spaces. It is a fantastic means not only to improve the overall design but also to increase the value of your property. Especially in urban spaces, people or property buyers are becoming more intentional in choosing the right properties, making sure that aside from functionality, they are getting open and green spaces to match. Depending on the designer’s focus, either adding greens to the front yard which may be initially a plain terrazzo stone pavement, or including an indoor lanai garden to complement the terrazzo marble floors, adding the greens allows the occupants of the space to relax and enjoy the space better. Some landscape ideas can be applied to the following areas or spaces:
When a home is located in an urban townhouse, there usually is a small space in the backyard for different purposes. One of the best ways to maximize this space is to add a landscape. Designs can range from a native, unpolished backyard with a more natural “forest” feel, or a manicured backyard garden complete with a seating area where one can entertain or relax in.
The front area of a residential space can definitely set the tone of the whole property. With a frontyard landscape, one can immediately “introduce” the style of the property. Matching your terrazzo marble steps at the front area with the right mix of bushes and succulents can define either a modern edgy taste or a a more classic soft touch to the property.

Specifically for commercial and urban spaces where buildings are stacked side by side, one after the other, adding a landscape to walkways will surely make the area appear more relaxed yet upscale and luxurious, even. As lot prices increase, every square meter counts as a paid space for property developers. Low-cost developers will surely maximize every inch to earn from it and realize return on investment. Good developers, on the other hand, treat space not only for functional purposes, but also recognizes aesthetics and natural elements as important properties to make the space more livable. Mixing hard properties such as stone and concrete with softer properties such as grass and greeneries is a perfect start to making walkways more appealing in the urban setting.
