Making Outdoor Dreams a Reality

By Linda Sutherland

It’s impossible to resist the curb appeal of landscaping. Walk or drive down any street and look at houses or commercial buildings that have done an excellent job of landscaping—it’s easy to see that they have improved the quality of the neighborhood. Thoughtful landscaping has many other benefits, including water conservation, improving soil health, reducing maintenance labor, and creating natural habitats. Parks and tree canopies improve air quality and reduce noise. Studies have shown that just looking at plants and trees can reduce stress levels.

When designed and executed properly, landscaping helps preserve nature and conserve natural resources. It’s good for everyone! Sadly, not all of us have the time and talent to do this ourselves. Happily, an experienced landscaper can get the job done on our behalf. If you think your outdoor spaces could benefit from some professional advice, call Jay Moore Landscaping. Jay and his team of experienced and certified landscape designers can make your outdoor dreams into reality.

Jay has been in the landscaping business for close to 45 years, and he knows his stuff! He started out mowing lawns and doing small landscape installations. Over the years, this led to a thriving business. Today, his flourishing business can offer landscape design and installation for all types of custom outdoor spaces. They offer hardscaping like patios, pergolas, fire features, water features, kitchens, and artificial turf installation, as well as maintenance on any and all landscaping. Jay and his team regularly transform residential and commercial properties into inviting environments that reflect the owner’s style and can provide years of enjoyment.

One of Jay’s specialties is water issues, including wet areas in the landscape, wet basements, improper sloping to a house or building, and French drain installations. What is a French drain, you may ask? Basically, it is a trench filled with gravel and perforated pipe that redirects surface water and groundwater away from the problem area. The gravel helps filter out debris to keep the pipe clear. French drains can help prevent flooding, mold, water damage, and present or future foundation problems.

Jay can do so much to transform your space. Imagine a new patio with a water or fire feature and a living privacy screen made of plants! Water and fire features offer a focal point in the yard, whether you’re planning to entertain or seeking total solitude and relaxation. If privacy is what you are looking for in the yard, Jay can make your outdoor space more private by incorporating a variety of organic and hardscape materials.

Beautiful and thoughtful landscaping can make your yard a more pleasant place to spend your time, and it can improve your property’s curb appeal immensely, Jay notes. Curb appeal is greatly appreciated by the neighbors who view your home and yard day in and day out. We’ve all been told that curb appeal is important when you’re trying to sell your home, but it’s also vital for home sales all over the neighborhood. No one wants to live next door to a yard that isn’t tended!

Whether or not Jay Moore Landscaping handled the original design of your landscaping, they’re happy to provide year-round maintenance for your landscape management. As they note on their website, spending time enjoying your yard and making time to maintain it are two different things. They can keep up the ongoing health and beauty of your property when you don’t have the time or inspiration.

Container gardens have been enjoying a recent resurgence among homeowners, and Jay is happy to design them. I love container gardens! They offer so many options. Container gardens are more manageable than in-ground gardens and require much less manual labor. In my opinion, decorating the landscape with container plants is a trend that we should all embrace.

When asked about his biggest professional challenges, Jay cites an obstacle that is also familiar to me: the wide temperature variances in the Midwest. “One day it can be 80 degrees, and the next day it can be 115 degrees, with the heat index,” he notes. “We really need tough plants here in the Midwest, since we can also get minus 30 windchills in the winter.” It’s worth the effort, though, Jay says. He loves seeing the results when his team finishes a project. “The customer’s joy and happiness with the end result is the best.”

We all need more beauty in our lives! If you’re ready to add more beauty to your yard, call Jay Moore Landscaping at 402-981-7800 or send Jay a message at jay@jaymoorelandscaping.com. The office is located at 7607 D Street, in Omaha. Learn more and view case studies at jaymoorelandscaping.com.
