TWIN FALLS LANDSCAPING FAQS

What design styles are popular with Twin Falls homeowners?

Twin Falls landscapes tend to follow the classic American archetype: abundant lawns, specimen trees, and foundation planting dominated by structural shrubs. Elements of the regional high desert landscape make regular appearances, primarily through the incorporation of natural stone walls and decorative boulders.

Being an arid climate, low water and drought tolerant designs are becoming increasingly popular, as well. These designs feature species native to the region, or to regions with a similarly dry climate.

What are popular features in Twin Falls landscapes?

Twin Falls landscape designs frequently feature amenities for outdoor living, from outdoor kitchens and dining areas, to lounge spaces for entertaining friends, to outdoor theaters for family movie nights. Being a family-friendly community, recreational spaces like play areas and sports courts are another common feature.

Shade is a top priority in Twin Falls landscapes. For many, existing trees do the trick. For others, pergolas, shade sails, or new shade trees are go-to strategies to keep outdoor spaces cool and comfortable.

Landscape lighting is another popular strategy for beating the heat. By creating a pleasant environment after the sun has gone down, lighting helps residents make the most of cool summer evenings (just remember to turn the lights off when you head back inside).

Should I use plants native to Twin Falls in my landscape?

No matter where you live, native plants are an excellent choice for your landscape. As lovers of the local climate, native plants typically require fewer inputs of water, fertilizer, and maintenance than species introduced from elsewhere. With natives, you’ll get great plant performance with less expense and fuss.

At the same time, native plants offer unmatched habitat value for local wildlife, and help designed landscapes feel connected to the broader regional landscape.

Looking for a few natives to get you started? Rocky Mountain maple, yarrow, blazing star, red-flowering currant, and various sagebrush species all make for great landscape plants.

What are top considerations for Twin Falls landscapes?

Climate tolerance is the primary concern when designing a Twin Falls landscape. Hardscape materials must hold up to snow and baking sun. Plants must be able to tolerate the peak of summer heat and the depth of winter cold. Natives are a safe bet, having evolved to thrive in the local climate.

When choosing plants, don’t forget to consider winter interest. Look for plants that bloom late in the fall and early in the spring. Incorporate trees and shrubs with colorful or architectural branches. Be considerate with placement of evergreens such that they can command the scene when other plants are in winter dormancy.

When should I start my landscaping project?

Now! Any time of year is great to begin work on a landscape project.

When possible, we suggest utilizing the winter to work through the design phase – this sets you up to get on contractors’ books early in the build season, so you can have your design installed and ready to enjoy in time for summer.

If winter has passed, don’t worry, it’s never too late in the year to begin work on a landscape design project.
