April 22, 2021

As the weather warms up and new blooms fill our yards, it’s time to enjoy an outdoor project or two. These 5 landscaping ideas for your yard can a refreshed look!

A Flowering Vine

Flowering Vine

Flowering vines add color and interest to your yard, and there are many possibilities to consider. Before making your selection, do a little bit of research and select the one best for you. Vines can be a lot of up keep and you will have to keep it in check.

A Sculptural Plant

A Sculptural Plant

If you’re a fan of modern landscaping, you just might appreciate a plant that adds height, drama, and a sculptural quality to your yard. One of our favorites is the snake plant. This plant is perfect for placing in front of a wall, or on either side of the front door for a big statement.

A Cascading Ground Cover

Cascading Ground Cover

Just as sculptural plants can add height, cascading plants add another level of landscaping beauty to your yard. Cascading plants work well when planted directly into the ground, or you can feature them in your favorite pots and planters (even in combination with other plants).

Tidy Trees

Tidy Trees

This next task isn’t nearly as much fun as the plant suggestions above. Yet it’s a necessity. Yes, we’re talking about trimming your trees! Have trees and bushes obstructed the walkways in your yard or front windows? Trim your trees for a new look.

Native Plants

Native Plants

For a true low-maintenance landscaping option, go with native plants. They require little care, often eliminating the need for regular watering or extra protection in the winter. A quick internet search should provide you with plenty of native options for your region.

  Freedom to design our own floor plan, quality built, beautiful and fit our budget....Taylor Homes rocks!

With Taylor homes we were given the freedom to design our own floor plan and that's exactly what we did. Admittedly it is difficult to go through the process of building a home that you haven't seen, but it's also very exciting to watch your dream become a reality. Ground was broken for a construction on March 23, 2021 and our home was completed and released us on October 13, 2021. Amid supply shortages, price hacks, lack of contractors and everything else going on in this world, Taylor homes built our dream home in just under 7 months. We couldn't be happier. We now live in a quality built, beautiful, solid, custom home that fit our budget. Thank you Taylor homes!

  Nice Home at a Great Price!

Taylor Homes did a great job building our new home. It looked so nice when they completed it. Everyone I had an encounter with at Taylor Homes was friendly and courteous. I would definitely use them again. I had the home inspected when they finished, and my new home was rated in the top ten percent in energy efficiency. They also built the home at a great price. It was a good experience from start to finish.

  The Perfect Home!

Taylor Homes, keep doing what you're doing! Every now and then there is a project that goes without a hitch and when you are having a home built there are always going to be some issues. Even with issues, this build went pretty smooth. Taylor Homes addressed any issue promptly. The odds of everything going smoothly are rare but when there was a problem Taylor Homes was there and handled it well! I really think that they need to keep doing what they are doing because they are absolutely doing it well with terrific customer service and attention to detail! When I first saw my completed house I felt like I was moving into a castle and I couldn't believe it was mine! Very happy with my new home!
