How landscape architects in Cape Cod can transform your outdoor space

The world of gardens and those who tend to them is vast. There?s the high school student who helps mow your lawn, the hard-working crew maintaining your yard, and those who design the structural and horticultural identity of your green space. That latter is a landscape architect, and they are the ones that can transform your space from dull to vibrant.

What?s the difference between maintenance, design and architecture?

Landscape architects reach beyond the horticultural component of parks, gardens and their maintenance. A landscape architect’s design can include structural components like walkways, benches, or even buildings, and the way the greenery (flowers, trees, plants, etc.) all relate and interact with each other. That is, landscape architects can go beyond just flowerbeds and decorative arrangements, they create balanced spaces of structure and nature.

How landscape architects in Cape Cod can help you create your perfect environment

Whether you are looking to transform the space around your home or your business, consulting with companies like Maffei Landscape is about finding a landscape architect that will hear what your vision is and then use their expertise to make it a reality — from concept to installment to maintenance. As landscape architects in Cape Cod, the Maffei team knows how to bring their attention to detail and love of green space to your property.

These are main areas where landscape architects can help you achieve your ideal space:

Horticulture

Horticulture is more than the installment of plants in your beds. It?s knowing how the plants interact and grow together. It?s knowing how to analyze the soil profile of your land so that the proper plants are utilized. All gardens and green landscapes require maintenance, but that doesn?t mean you want the most fickle plants, either! Landscape architecture for Cape Cod lands is about balance. The designers at Maffei love to play with this balance so that you can have both delicate and hearty plants to give your garden design personality.

Irrigation

We?ve said it before and we?ll say it again: no two yards are alike — especially in Cape Cod! Any good landscape architect in Cape Cod should understand that even two streets over, one property may be high and dry, and the other woodsy and wet. Maffie?s experience in irrigation systems means we offer thorough analysis of your land?s needs so we can install the most water-efficient irrigation system. 

Play vs Pleasure

We love designing environments, so we love to hear exactly what your needs are. Part of the benefit of being landscape architects in Cape Cod means there is such a diversity of how people use their outdoor space. We love to design areas that are child-friendly and playful. But we also love the practice of designing a space that is for pleasure and serenity. That?s the beauty of it: it?s more than the green space. We can work with and design physical structures as well to help achieve the perfect environment, whether it?s play, pleasure, or something more formal.

Lighting

What?s the point of a garden if you can only see it during the day? In southeastern Massachusetts and the Cape, having an outdoor space for the evening is crucial. The wrong lighting can make your elegant, magical garden (that was meticulously designed and maintained by a landscape architect for a Cape Cod garden!) look gaudy and sad. Proper and thoughtful lighting can highlight the beauty of a space and also help increase the safety and security of your property. 

Not everyone is starting from scratch, so even if you already have a garden installed but desire a change and are looking for a landscape architect in Cape Cod or southeastern Massachusetts, give us at Maffei Landscape a call at 508-477-4814 and contact us here to submit a request for a free quote.
