BUILDERS

BUILD,DESIGN,RENOVATE If you’re considering building a new custom home or taking on an extensive renovation, you’re in the right place. West Michigan is booming with an abundance of talented professionals who, throughout the years, have awed us on the pages of Cosmopolitan Home with their quality craftsmanship, superior design and flawless execution. But, choosing the right builder to partner with through the homebuilding or renovating process may be more difficult than you think. Taking the time to find your right match in a builder will be time well spent. The following tips might lean you in the best direction: REFERRALS, REVIEWS AND REFERENCES The best way to evaluate your builder is to see their work. Ask to visit with past customers, check with new homeowners, or visit with local suppliers working with the builder. When checking references, ask questions that reflect their work quality, integrity, and competence.

COFFEE DATE Spend time with the builder getting to know their personality and work style. The construction process requires a great deal of clear and accurate communication. Be sure you can develop a sense of trust with your builder and mutual respect for one another.

CHECK CREDENTIALS Does the builder hold the right insurance and credentials needed to obtain the necessary permits and financing? There are some insurances, such as “dwelling in progress,” that can be obtained by either the builder or homeowner; be clear on who will provide the insurance needed.

CHECK CALENDARS Can the builder meet your timeline for starting and completing the construction? Busy, more seasoned builders often schedule home builds months in advance. It is important to align start and anticipated finish dates, taking into consideration weather and other factors that can delay progress.

CONTRACT CLARITY Contracts between a builder and a homeowner may include stipulations for financing or other areas.

Keep in mind other entities may have different criteria or details. For instance, a builder may ask for a higher percent down than your financing contract allows.To avoid contract confusion, it is best to review the contract with others that may be impacted by the details.

MEET THE TEAM Building a house takes teamwork between the builder, the architect, the designer, sub-contractors, and you.

Before finalizing your builder selection, find time for the team to meet and discuss any of your “unknowns.”

Is the person you are negotiating with the same person who will be on-site managing the project? It is important to meet and know the person who will be responsible for building your home.

www.davevisser.com QUALITY • INTEGRITY • EXPERIENCE • COMMITMENT Dave Visser’s commitment to building exceptional homes for comfortable, everyday living is rooted in his own personal sense of family. Building is something he has known his entire life, from childhood memories of visiting his dad’s job sites, to working in the family business, to finally starting a construction company with his brother.

“I got my start very young in the commercial construction world through my dad's company,Visser Brothers,” said Visser. “I worked summers for him for years.And then, when I decided to get married, I went into the residential world. That was in 1986.”

Visser did everything in the field from pouring concrete to framing to trimming. He worked out of his dad's office for eight to ten years, and then finally built his own and from there his business just kept growing and growing.

Visser often uses the same subcontractors, project

after project, making his company a family business of another sort. “We work with a lot of the same people, and I've been doing that for years and years,” said Visser. “Other than retirements, the same guys have been with me for a long time. My brick guy, my stone guy, my cement guy — they’re all father and son operations that have been with me for the last 30 years.”

Visser builds in the mid-price range, starting around $300,000. He keeps his prices reasonable by doing a lot of plat development; taking a large parcel of land, dividing it into 30 to 40 lots, creating the infrastructure, such as roads, etc., then building all the homes within the subdivision.

For your family’s next home consider a builder who will consider your needs. Consider a Custom Home by Dave Visser Builder L.L.C.

AT A GLANCE "Our mission is to build a quality custom home at an affordable price" CLIENT COMMENTS: “My wife Jessica and I moved into a Dave Visser home on Shale Ct. in Rockford last year. We have never been more happy in a home and Dave has stood by his craftsmanship every step of the way. He made sure to correct any issues we had, even though most were very minor. We feel we got great value for the high end home we purchased and would recommend Dave Visser Builder to anyone who asks. We are extremely proud of our home. Thank you for everything!”

THE SMART OF THE HOME TECHNOLOGY IS EVERYWHERE, and the “smart kitchen” is an evolving aspect of design.

In fact, many of today’s kitchens are built “smart” from the ground up.Technology integrated kitchens are on the increase as homeowners are excited to relish the benefits of new and interesting technologies.

A refrigerator can now alert you when contents are running low. Who wouldn’t want a coffee maker that can be programmed to have your coffee ready right when you wake up.

There is also a gadget that monitors your eggs, letting you know which ones are past delicious freshness. Have an older kitchen? Don’t fret. Sensors, smart gadgets and other devices can be added to existing kitchen features allowing everyone to enjoy these modern day conveniences.

As far as appearance choices, one of the hottest trends for 2018 is gray-toned appliances in a dark brushed metal finish. Stainless steel has dominated the market for ... what seems like forever, so seeing a different finish hit the scene is not surprising. The age-old tradition of buying appliances in matching suites is no longer the norm. It’s becoming more common to find a vintage-inspired appliance design added in the mix. In fact, homeowners seem willing to experiment with a wider range of tones and finishes around the kitchen these days, selecting exactly what they want for both look and function.

The inclusion of induction cook-tops with separate, single wall ovens is now common place in newer kitchens.This trend can be more expensive than commercial ranges and often takes up more space. But, as always, aesthetics is what’s important.

Another change in the oven world is the rising demand for steam ovens. Fast becoming the new “must-have” appliance, steam ovens cook food faster, retain more nutrients and flavor than conventional ovens, and keep your meals juicy and delicious, making a dried-out roast a thing of the past. If you’re limited on passage space, consider getting another hot trend: a French Door wall oven. Not only are they stylish looking, some models come equipped with Bluetooth so that you can control oven functions remotely from your smartphone. Johnny Jr.’s basketball game running long? Worry no more!

NATURAL GLAMOUR ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF A FUNCTIONAL KITCHEN is plentiful and organized storage. If storage is inadequate or ineffective, endless frustrations and challenges happen everyday. Happily, storage problems are becoming a thing of the past, even for the spacechallenged kitchen.The 2018 kitchen is focused on making daily lives more effortless and making cooking fun. Small appliance garages, drawer dividers, pull-outs for spices, tray dividers, roll-out trays and caddies for pots and pans and a trash cabinet (or two) for garbage and recyclables are essential in today’s kitchen designs.

Kitchen islands continue to be focal points topped in the most beautiful of materials. Islands have increasingly become bigger, are staying single level and serve multiple uses. They are meant to create an impact as well as make a design statement.The 2018 larger kitchen island is the conductor in the room. It offers storage solution cabinets and is fitted with various under-counter appliances. It provides seating and ideally serves as a casual dining spot. It’s increasing size might even have it extend into living and family room spaces, ensuring the its important role in the open floor plan of today’s home designs.

When it comes to cabinet color, white mingles, grey takes an elegant lead and dark, moody colors make a big impact.White is still a favorite but is no longer taking up the entire kitchen.

To break up the all-white blahs, islands and bottom cabinets are showcasing a variety of different paint colors and wood stains.The mixing of finishes creates a different level of interest and offers warmth.

It’s being said that “grey is the new white.” Grey cabinets are a soothing backdrop in many forms, a versatile option for any look. They work great on their own or when paired with natural elements or glamour accents. But, hold on! Before you make your final decision for color(s), there is another color palette slowly making its way into the kitchen: dark jewel tones. Charcoal, navy, emerald and plum are on the scene. These deep colors enhance a kitchen beautifully with a dramatic, luxurious feel.

TREND WATCH Investing thousands of dollars in a kitchen or bathroom remodel can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be.

Check out some of these trends from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) to consider when planning your next kitchen or bath remodel.

MAKE YOUR HOME SMARTER It used to be that internet meant high-tech. Now, especially with the Internet of Things, it means easier access to entertainment and home security. Home automation is now a consideration when remodeling as WiFi can be used to connect affordable, easy-to-install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These safety tools can be accessed from any smartphone or device, and should be considered when remodeling. Many of these smart devices, including thermostats and lighting fixtures, can support an energy-efficient home by allowing you to adjust the temperature or turn off lights, directly from your smartphone.

DESIGN WITH ACCESSIBILITY IN MIND Getting older may not be fun, but universal design can help support accessibility. However, accessible

design isn’t just for aging in place. Adopting universal design and accessible components can provide not only safety but comfort as well – no matter your age. Through its Universal Design Certified Professional program, NARI offers training and certification for professional remodelers. These remodelers not only know what options are available but typically have their fingers on the pulse of products that can make your life better, from scald-proof faucets to appliance types and installation, and grab bars in bathrooms.

EXPRESS YOURSELF WITH TILE While materials like stone and granite remain popular, additional trends for kitchen and bath remodels include textured tile and patterns in all shapes and textures. Changing tile in a kitchen or bathroom can add visual interest and be an easy way to express your personality.

PERSONALIZE WITH COLOR Design trends continue to revolve around color.

Color options range from the deep, saturated tones of ruby, emerald and sapphire to a soft and delicate palette of pastels. Whether you prefer strong, bold, intense colors or are looking for a more neutral palette, there is a hue to fit your style. Color can be used on everything including cabinetry, walls even including the “fifth wall,” or ceiling, to appliances, tile and furnishings. The options are nearly limitless.

Good design doesn’t have to be a fad. Today’s

trends provide ways to customize your home that reflect your personality, add comfort and create a safer environment. Find examples of how each of these trends can be included in your next kitchen or bathroom remodel at www.nari.org/consumers/trends,

COUNTERTOPS

MATERIAL MATTERS THE MOST ESSENTIAL COMPONENT of the kitchen and bath: the countertop — it’s where all the action takes place. But, even more than that, the countertop is the base of these rooms’ style. It sets the tone and feel of the space. Because of this, it matters exponentially what material, finish and design is chosen.The countertop trends for 2018 focus heavily on color, texture and material. It should come as no surprise that quartz is still number one in the kitchen, as it is extremely versatile in most designs, will last a lifetime, is a breeze to maintain and is anti-microbial.

When quartz first came into the countertop market, the main obstacle was the lack of variety with colors and finishes. But, thanks to technology, manufacturers have provided an extensive range of colors and realistic stone patterns to choose from. We’re now seeing quartz finished with elaborate swirls and large veining to imitate other materials such as marble and other natural stones. By adding these interesting swirled patterns into the slabs, a new quartz countertop offers yet another way to give some creative personality to a kitchen or bath design.

Layering texture and pattern is a crucial element in any good design. Countertops are game here as well. Honed and leather surfaces are on the rise and can be applied to many different materials including granite, marble, and quartz. These finishes have the durability needed in the kitchen but give a drastically different look to the space. A polished finish is still very desirable but there are advantages to the aforementioned options.

A honed finish is a matte finish with little to no shine.The overall look will vary depending on the stone type, but it should have a low sheen and a smooth surface. Honed finishes work well with marble, since it’s lack of shine conceals any flaws or scratch marks more readily.

A leathered finish is a newer style of treatment and has become more popular in recent years. It has a soft sheen that is less glossy than a polished finish and offers a different feel to the touch. The leather finish retains the stone’s natural color giving it a more sophisticated look than honed. It also hides fingerprints and water spots which is very appealing.

Finally, another must option for adding warmth to your kitchen space is a wood countertop.

Salvaged wood, butcher block and species with lovely grains are showing up in every style kitchen but the key here is just in one spot or “station.” The beauty of a wood countertop is that a little adds a lot.

BEAUTIFUL FOR LIFE

www.granitetransformations.com/grandrapids • 855.667.4275 Offering a selection of stylish and affordable alternatives to traditional countertops Granite Transformations is well known for its unique ForeverSeal® technology, a polymer resin which is used to help strengthen and seal countertops that are ideal in kitchens and bathrooms.With over ten thousand happy home-owners as customers in Michigan alone, Granite Transformations is clearly a leader in the countertop renovation business.

“We are your kitchen and bathroom renovation experts,” says Greg DeWitt, owner of the local Granite Transformations in Grandville, Michigan.

One of the problems encountered with traditional slab materials (e.g. quartz, marble, granite) is that if the countertops are not properly and regularly sealed which can lead to staining, absorbing of bacteria, and scratching. Granite Transformations provides a lifetime limited warranty on its ForeverSeal® quartz, recycled glass and granite countertops, all of which are stain, scratch and heat-resistant. Granite Transformations produces the ForeverSeal® quartz and granite products in Sebring, FL using stone from some of the world’s finest quarries. There, the quarried stones are turned into slabs using state of the art equipment. The glass countertops and back-

splashes sold by Granite Transformations contain up to 72 percent post-consumer recycled content, which, as DeWitt points out, includes recycled glass bottles and/or mirrors. “We actually have countertops made from recycled beer bottles.”

“Our slogan is ‘Done in a day, beautiful for life,’” DeWitt says. The quick turnaround on the renovation work is due to the fact that “we can go over the top,” he says. In other words, the new product – countertop, backsplash or flooring – typically is installed right over the existing surface, which is much quicker than a traditional renovation resulting in less waste entering landfills.

Granite Transformations also installs backsplashes and offers cabinet refacing. The cabinet refacing process takes slightly longer. Even so, a cabinet refacing project can be completed in 3 to 5 days depending on the size of the kitchen. The results are a spectacular new look to your kitchen cabinets in less than a week! It’s a quick and easy way for the homeowner to get dramatic changes in the look of their kitchen.

Your dream kitchen and bathroom ... only better!

FAUCETS & FIXTURES 20 | PSG 2018

MIX IT UP ERASE THE MEMORIES OF THE ’80S BATHROOM BRASS FAUCET — 2018 is all about new, warm-toned gold and brass plumbing fixtures that take your spa-like bathrooms and gourmet kitchens from sterile to luxurious. This new tone twist is the perfect complement to the cooler grey tones that are showing up everywhere. The warm golds add just the right amount of depth and dimension, as well as a lush feel, to any space with the added bonus of keeping fingerprints and water spots unnoticeable. These warmer tones are also popular in accent pieces showing up in finish hardware, light fixtures, and mirrors as well.

Tech innovations are having a big impact on today’s bathrooms as well. How fabulous to have a “smart” shower that automatically knows your preferred temperature and turns on your favorite tunes — singing in the shower never sounded better.And then there’s the high-tech toilet that features seat warmers, automatic lid openers and slow-close options, an adjustable air dryer, and even built-in deoderizers. Of course there are the faucets that turn on and off automatically based on hand placement which keeps water spots and those pesky germs at bay.

Inspiration for a luxurious bathroom design can come from many places but, it seems, no matter what, the freestanding tub always steals the show. Positioning the tub away from the wall requires a large chunk of bathroom space, but it makes a stunning impact on the room. Keep the drama going by choosing a floor-mount tub fill. These elegant fixtures come in a variety of styles, from sleek and modern to vintage charm. The tall faucets make a statement and enhance the upscale feeling of having a freestanding tub. Some include hand showers for convenient rinsing and cleaning of the tub.

Is countertop space an issue? Problem solved with the sleek look of wall-mounted fixtures.

This option frees up a little more counter space making it ideal for small powder rooms and half baths. The wall-mounting style also gives the faucet an updated, current look with the added bonus of no soap or other unpleasantries building up around the faucet base.

TREND WATCH No luxurious home upgrade is complete without the enhancements of modern technology.

High-tech and intelligent devices lend ease to everyday activities and enrich your ability to enjoy the comforts of home. With new products joining this category at an exponential pace, there’s a way to boost the smart function of every room, even the bathroom.

CLIMATE CONTROLS Environmental elements like lighting and temperature are among the first signals your brain processes when you enter a new space.Aligning those nuances with your comfort and preferences is the ultimate expression of personalization. Motion or voice control sensors make it possible to bring lights to life with next to no effort, while a smart thermostat with differentiated climate zones can adjust to meet your needs throughout the day, perhaps kicking up a few degrees to prevent a chill when you emerge from a steamy shower.

UNCOMMON COMMODES There truly is no limit to the home features that can work harder, faster and smarter – even when it comes to the toilet. If the notion of an intelligent toilet seems extreme to your senses, you may not be alone. When Americans hear the word bidet, most have an outdated picture in their minds of a

standalone fixture, but in fact, the functionality is now built into a toilet or attachable seats, and they are simple to use. From intelligent toilets to cleansing seats that attach to existing toilets, modern day bidets are for consumers who are looking for an upgrade to their toilet routine.

SHOWER WITH POWER Whether it’s a playlist that energizes you for the day or soothing sounds to center you before an important meeting, you can give new meaning to singing in the rain with a showerhead that includes a built-in wireless, removable speaker that you can sync to your smartphone music library.

When you take your shower digital, you can actually bring water, steam, music and light together into one sensory experience. Beyond that, it’s even possible to configure your shower to cycle through spa programs that target different areas of your body with varied water sprays and temperatures.

HYDROTHERAPY HAVEN A jetted tub is just the beginning when it comes to creating a spa-like atmosphere. Today’s options let you trick out your tub with everything from bubbles and heat to sound and color.Advanced hydrotherapy options use air or sound to massage, soothe, invigorate or relax your body and your mind – all controlled at the touch of a button.

Don’t forget the heated back to keep you warm even longer.

PERFECT PRIVACY If you’re blessed with a stunning view out the bathroom window or if you simply prefer the aura of natural light, you may be reluctant to hide behind heavy window treatments. Yet again, technology offers the solution. Shades you can power with a remote control and even film coverings that convert from transparent to opaque with the touch of a button can give you the freedom to embrace your privacy or celebrate the sun’s rays.

TECH-SESSORIES The big features may deliver the wow factor, but little touches can add up for a big impact as well. Mirrors that recognize your face and voice to deliver customized media, such as news and music, can also be programmed to alter the temperature and lighting while you conduct your toiletry business. Other accessories to round out your high-tech renovation include devices such as smart scales that integrate with other devices to maximize your health and wellness routine.

With these tech upgrades and more, you can turn an ordinary bathroom into an entirely new, refreshing experience.

FLOORING

COUNTLESS CHOICES FLOORING TRENDS CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS as homeowners acquire new tastes and technology provides a larger variety of indestructible products and designs. Popular wood finishes continue to range from ebony to driftwood with imperfections such as mineral streaks and knots adding to the desired aesthetic, creating a more natural feel. Faux flooring continues to impress with tiles that look like wood or just about anything else you could imagine.The options seem to be endless. Check out some of our favorites: Fumed wood flooring is becoming a go-to option among designers, giving the boards a stronger color and grain. Almost all types of wood flooring undergo some level of treatment to give a desired look.

Fumed wood gets its deep color and grain through a process where the wood is placed in a chamber and airborne ammonia is released. The wood reacts with the ammonia resulting in a color change, with varying results.The final patina depends on several factors including the type of wood, the outside environment and the atmosphere in the chamber itself.The result is a rich dark tone and enhancement of the wood’s natural grain.The look is much more luxurious. (Do not confuse fumed wood with wood that has been treated with liquid ammonia. Using liquid ammonia directly on the wood risks damaging the wood’s fiber and could weaken its structure.)

If you prefer a softer, white-washed look, bleaching or blanching might be the right choice. For this look, a chemical solution is applied to the surface of the wood to rid the boards of color. The result is an ashy, white-washed look with the natural grain still clearly visible — the charm and beauty of natural wood is still there but takes on a softer look.

Distressed wood continues to be a favorite, giving your floors a luxury, aged look. The look is achieved by putting the wood through an artificial aging process that gives a slightly worn finish.

Various procedures are taken depending on the degree and style desired.The edges of each wood plank are hand scrapped, swirl and kerf markings are added to imitate historic wood and the planks are brushed to remove gloss, giving a soft worn texture.

Textured tiles are being seen everywhere and with good reason. These porcelain tiles have been designed to resemble all sorts of materials, not just in look but also texture.The latest and greatest porcelain wood grain tiles are almost indistinguishable from actual wood.The tile resembles wood not only in color and grain pattern but also in texture. If wood flooring is not your thing, there are also porcelain floor tiles that look identical to various kinds of natural stone. Advanced technology allows a wide variety of options — this simple tile can be manipulated and styled in countless looks.

Vintage has always been about nostalgia, bringing back fond memories of decades past. In 2018, black and white tiles are making a strong comeback. But, it’s not quite the same. Bold, graphic, and more luxurious options are giving homeowners a unique twist allowing for the ideal blend of vintage with contemporary for the perfect look and feel.

TREND WATCH

A home is often a family’s single largest asset, so making investments with upgrades and home improvements is almost always a good idea. However, knowing when and where to make those improvements isn’t necessarily a simple decision. Budget and space most often dictate the direction, but keeping function and your lifestyle needs in mind can help create a space that makes for an all-around smart investment.

ality and aesthetic benefits they provide, especially in the bathroom and kitchen where ventilation is as important as ample lighting. You can give your lighting and home value a boost with an Energy Star-qualified option such as Velux solar-powered fresh-air skylights, which open for air flow, reducing dependence on electrical lights and fans, with the touch of a programmable remote control.

For expanded control over the amount of light and warmth that enters or leaves your rooms, solarpowered skylight blinds are available in more than 100 designer colors and patterns. Like the skylights, Velux solar-powered blinds are operated with the remote. The solar products and installation costs are also eligible for a 30-percent federal tax credit.

ADD TECHNOLOGY IN UNEXPECTED PLACES With the surge in smart devices, it’s becoming increasingly common to add technology throughout the house, and the bathroom is no exception.

From heated floors to mirrors with embedded TV screens, the options are plentiful. A bathroom outfitted with the latest technology can bring function and a whole new level of style and elegance to your home.

FINISH THE BASEMENT Adding finished square footage to your home is nearly always a way to increase its value. For many homes, the basement is the most practical place to gain that space. Instead of using it as a collection ground for dust bunnies and storage, converting it into usable space can bring meaningful value, not only in dollars and cents, but in overall enjoyment of your home.

GO GREEN FOR THE EARTH AND SAVINGS Appliances and climate control systems are often the first features homeowners consider when it comes to environmentally friendly upgrades, but windows and window treatments are another way to make a big impact. In a similar vein, skylights are a surprisingly affordable upgrade for the function-

When making plans for finishing a basement, keep function first. Adding features like bathrooms can be costly, but having ready access to those facilities may pay off if you plan to spend lots of time downstairs. Also keep climate in mind; in parts of the country basements tend to be damp, so use materials that can withstand the conditions.

CREATE OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE

FOR ALL YEAR LONG If a basement renovation isn’t practical, you may be able to create additional living space in an area you already have – outdoors. Even small patio spaces can become cozy gathering spots with the right furnishings and decor. For a larger yard, create destinations that make it comfy to congregate, such as a fire pit or grouping of chairs with overstuffed cushions.

This is another area where climate will play an important role in your plans; adding an enclosure to a patio can make it usable during all but the coldest months, while a pergola can lend necessary relief to an area that bakes in the sun.

ADD CURB APPEAL While you’re considering the upgrade options outdoors, don’t forget to think about your home’s exterior appearance. Reworking landscaping to highlight architectural features and freshening up paint can make a big impact.Adding decorative elements like shutters or new lighting or doors can also update a tired exterior.

ORGANIC AND COZY AS WE FORGE OUR WAY THROUGH THIS DIGITAL, technological, and fast-paced world, we are finding it increasingly desirable to make our homes a haven of organic coziness. Technology offers tremendous ease of living in the home but, surrounding ourselves with a more natural aesthetic offers a more relaxing retreat, reminding us of a simpler, more authentic life.

Nostalgia also adds to this comfort experience and opens the door to share a little more of our personalities in our home design. So far 2018 is shaping up to be a year of earthy materials with hints of nostalgia for ease of relaxation.

Raw, natural materials are becoming the go-to vibe for the “cozy space” trend. Room dividers, reading nooks, and various other small spaces will find their way back into all types of homes, allowing us to unwind and relax. These spaces are ideal sanctuaries for reflection and rest.

When done right and surrounded in natural elements, these spaces will be hard to leave.

Wood paneling continues to be on the design radar but, not the 1960s version that most homeowners immediately take down when renovating. Today’s wood paneling trend is being used for an accent wall instead of completely surrounding a room. Wood, in all finishes, whether clear stain or in its natural form, is being chosen to create sophisticated, sleek walls of interest.

That being said, we need to remain considerate of shiplap. Shiplap is a natural material, it is textured, it has historical appeal and, the fact that it has to be installed by hand gives it a personal, craftsmanship feel. It’s a less formal way of adding a design element to a wall and creates another layer of interest in a space. For those reasons, shiplap may continue to grace home design for a long time.

Wood panels in closets, such as cedar-covered closet walls, offer the added bonus of having a distinctive smell and being a natural repellent to moths. Knotty pieces of wood bring an organic feel, while painted varieties give a classic look.The options are plentiful and the results are tailored and appealing.

Statement ceilings will also continue to elevate the design of our spaces. Be ready to see bolder designs achieved by using printed or textured wallpaper, striking paint colors, exposed beams and detailed plaster or timber mouldings.

LANDSCAPING

OUTDOOR LIVING WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES FAST APPROACHING, it’s time to consider what alterations you might want to make to your landscape design to bring it into 2018. It’s a win-win however since the best outdoor designs are about incorporating spaces that allow homeowners to enjoy their piece of the great outdoors. Here are our suggestions for keeping your landscape current all while expanding your enjoyable living space.

Increasingly considered an indispensable part of an outdoor landscaping, fire pits make outdoor living more comfortable during the cooler months as well as those chillier summer evenings.

Who doesn’t love the glow and coziness of a roaring fire? Nothing brings friends and family together like a gathering around a fire.

From kitchens to relaxation areas, outdoor rooms are in demand. After a long Michigan winter, homeowners want to get outside and enjoy Mother Nature. These spaces reflect the functionality of interior spaces, and include high-end appliances, fireplaces and of course comfortable, weather-proof furniture. It’s a great way to give your interior some time off and love everything your home has the potential to offer.

In order to increase our outdoor time, the evening hours require a lively glow and more and more landscape designs are including strip lighting to create inviting atmospheres and illuminate pathways. The energy efficient solar LEDs are an ideal option for creating a welcoming environment. Strip lighting below steps, seats, and benches yield an enticing ambience while keeping everyone safe from trips and bumps in the dark.

With the right kind of plantings, you can not only make your property stand out but you’ll also enhance its value. Paying mind to native and noninvasive species is especially important. Here’s where a professional’s knowledge is a great advantage.Also, it’s important to consider what creatures you might attract or detract depending on your plant selections.

Oversized paver options are a nice choice if you’re working with abundant space but expect to see smaller, textured paving options take center stage this spring. A variety of new stones in smaller sizes have hit the market allowing for unique designs, adding a little more interest than the larger options.
