Exterior Design Tips From Our Work
Start With Your Front Entry
A new front door color, updated house numbers, and symmetrical planters create immediate impact. These low-cost changes shift the entire perception of your home before anyone steps inside.
Repeat Materials for Cohesion
Use the same stone, wood tone, or metal finish across your porch, walkway, and fence. Material repetition ties separate outdoor areas into one connected design instead of disjointed pieces.
Layer Outdoor Lighting by Task
Combine path lights for safety, wall sconces for ambiance, and spotlights for architectural features. Three layers of light make exteriors functional after dark and highlight your home structure.
Pick Plants for Four Seasons
Mix evergreen shrubs, perennial grasses, and seasonal flowers so your exterior has structure year-round. We create planting plans that account for your USDA hardiness zone and sun exposure.
Planning Guide
Exterior Design Considerations
Local Climate and Materials
Freeze-thaw cycles crack certain stones. High humidity warps untreated wood. We select materials rated for your specific climate zone to prevent premature replacement costs.
HOA and Municipal Guidelines
Fence heights, paint colors, and structure setbacks vary by location. Share your HOA covenants or local codes so our design stays within approved parameters from day one.
Maintenance Level You Want
Composite decking costs more upfront but needs zero staining. Natural wood looks warmer but requires annual treatment. We match materials to your preferred maintenance schedule.
Resale Value and ROI Impact
Exterior updates return 50-75% of their cost at resale. Strategic curb appeal improvements like updated siding, a new front door, and landscape structure deliver the highest ROI.
