New Charleston Homes Are Blank Canvases For Landscape Design

April 20, 2016Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design BlogBy Seth Mason
Charleston Residential Landscape Design Blank Canvas

 

Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to design and install yards at a few new Charleston area homes. I particularly enjoy working in new neighborhoods because they’re full of blank canvases for my ideas.

Often times, developers throw in just a few basic landscaping elements as an afterthought, leaving vast amounts of virgin territory for landscape design. For example:

It gets better: Many new Charleston neighborhoods are built on former fields, limiting the amount of roots one must navigate around when installing. In other words, nearly all open areas are plantable. Blank canvases indeed.

Here are some before and after photos from recent projects at two new houses, the first on James Island and the second in Goose Creek:

I like how blank canvasses are conducive to instant gratification.

Landscape design and installation is a passion of mine, and I enjoy working at residences of all kinds. But working with the abundance of new residential construction in the Charleston area has made this a particularly enjoyable spring thus far.

About the author

Seth Mason

Hi, I’m Seth Mason, James Island native and owner and sole employee of Lowcountry Vistas Charleston Landscape Design and Installation. From the time I was 9 years old, I took pride in caring for my mother’s yard on the Island. The son of an artist and a lover of nature, making my mom’s yard look good became of a passion of mine at a young age. Years later, after having earned my M.B.A. during the 2008 Financial Crisis, I took part-time landscaping work to get by. In time, I came to realize that landscape design and installation was my calling: It combines my love of sculpting Charleston natural beauty, business acumen, and fresh air and sun. After earning my landscaping chops working alongside a fellow devotee to Charleston horticulture, I went on my own and started Lowcountry Vistas in 2015. Lowcountry Vistas is more than just a job to me. It’s a dream. I love improving peoples’ properties through my landscape design plans and landscape installations. Make sure to take advantage of my free consultation limited-time offer to learn more about what I can do for you!
