Is Adelphi Md Landscaping An Art Or A Science? This is a question we get on a pretty regular basis from our clients. In fact, we get it often enough that we thought it would make an excellent article topic, so if you’ve been wondering the same thing, then this article is for you!
First, let’s talk about where the question comes from. One of the major reasons people pay to have landscaping work done is to beautify their property in order to increase their enjoyment of it and enhance their property value. Clearly then, artistry plays a huge role in the equation. Ask yourself this:
Would you pay for landscaping if it didn’t look good? Would you intentionally spend money to make your property look worse? Of course not. Nobody would do that.
The real question then, is artistry all there is, and that’s when things get a little more complicated. For smaller project, science doesn’t really play much of a role. You don’t need science to plant a garden in your backyard or to install a few paving stones to make a short path. Some basic math maybe, but that’s not what most people think of when they think science.
Then again, for those smaller projects, you’re almost certainly not going to call a landscaping company. Those are little weekend projects you can do when you have some spare time. The big projects though, that’s a completely different matter and where those big projects are concerned, science and engineering have major roles to play.
The reason for the difference is simple. Large scale landscaping projects are almost always meant to solve real, practical problems and looking great while they do it. You can’t solve for those big complicated issues without employing healthy doses of science and engineering. Here, we’re talking about things like:
- Terracing your property to create more usable space
- Solving for drainage issues
- And building structures like bridges to give you easier access to more of your property if, for example, you have a stream running through your land.
Ultimately then, the answer to the question “Is Adelphi Md landscaping an art or a science?” is that it’s both, at least in terms of the projects big enough that you’d call the professionals in for an assist.
