When we think about building a luxury custom home our mind floods with the imagery of marble countertops, impressive herringbone floors, perfectly-crafted staircases, state of the art appliances, or whatever piques your design interests. But if you let your mind wander a little further you’ll find yourself journeying to sunny afternoons spent with family by the pool and elegant al fresco dining with friends on a starry evening.

Tips from Dennis Warenycia, Landscape Architect
- Get professional input right from Stage One – careful planning is key!
- Know your lifestyle – how do you like to spend your time outside?
- Be Family Safe – consider the needs of small children for instance, before erecting certain structures.
- Don’t be too impulsive –small steps in planning are better than ending up with an overgrowth of the same type of flower/plant.
- Maximize your outdoor lifestyle by considering exterior lighting.
- Get creative – get in touch with your own personal tastes and let your landscape architect and builder inform you on how to incorporate these aspects.
- Get the irrigation right! You want to take proper care of all of your well-thought-out greenery and experience adequate drainage.
- Be seasonally-savvy. Know when things bloom and what they’ll look like!
Lastly, Consider All Perspectives – think about how your home will look from the street (curb appeal) but also consider what your own view will be; what will you and your partner/family see from the inside of your comfy living room?
