So, Spring is right around the corner.  We are starting to get clients calling in to do their normal spring chores like: mulching, aeration, over seeding, fertilizing, planning their spring annuals, and planning their landscape upgrades http://landscapesnashville.com/services_landmaintenance.htm.  Here in the Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, Middle Tennessee area I am getting more and more clients foregoing their vacations to build a spot for staycations.  Basically, these clients are using the money that they would invest into a week away from home to building an outdoor resort of their own complete with upgraded landscaping http://landscapesnashville.com/services_landscape.htm, installing patios http://landscapesnashville.com/services_hardscape_p.htm with privacy plantings, outdoor kitchens, and a good hang out area for friends and family.  We usually start this process with a landscape design http://landscapesnashville.com/services_design.htm to our clients taste.  We have found it helpful for the client to know what they are getting in the landscape http://landscapesnashville.com/services_landscape.htm/ hardscape project http://landscapesnashville.com/services_hardscape.htm prior to the implementation of it.  It helps us plan the project so we can give the client an actual cost of the landscape project prior to the start.
