Seattle Landscape Architecture: Pleasure In The Outside

By Ryan Richardson


The relationship between human beings and the environment is very important. The human beings work to secure it. The environment improves well being of the human beings. Seattle landscape architecture works to enhance this relationship. It works to take whatever steps required in achieving environmental security and social consciousness all the while observing aesthetic excellence. All of this is done with a keen eye on the resource expenditure.

The environment is a gift. For eons human beings all but ignored it and went on with their lies like it was not a big part of life. However, now human beings are more concerned with preserving and maintaining this gift. They want to ensure that everything stays intact for the current generation and those that will come after to set an example. Conservation of the environment is the chief purpose of this craft.

Storm water management is all about keeping the area from flooding and polluting fresh water sources. This is done in many different ways. The water may be held or it may be provided with a way to drain. The water may then be filtered and reused. See, water is integral to human survival. If fresh water sources are polluted then that puts the entire bunch at risk.

Here is another scenario. Imagine contaminated soil. The same soils where vegetables are grown.Same soil where water pipes pass. Same soils that come into contact with human beings everyday. Plants can help remove these contaminants from the soil. It is the job of a professional in this field to know which plants those are. It is their job to recommend actions towards the decontamination of soil.

The shade is certainly assured. It can be argued that metal and concrete bus stands do this just as well as a tree. The thing is though that these man made stands do not have the same aesthetic appeal. They also do not allow for proper circulation of air. There really is no comparison between seating under a tree and one of these stands. Not to mention, the positive impact sitting under a tree has on state of mind.

Property value can be increased in many different ways. It can be increased by improving the inside. Maybe opening up the house and flooding it with natural lighting. Tons of stuff that a professional would be better placed to suggest; a sure thing though, the outside. See, when a valuer or buyer visits the property. The lawn and outdoors will create the first impression. If it is well tended then the value of the house will definitely be higher than usual.

The craft should not be applied haphazardly though. Time should be taken to understand the unique features of the area; features that will be critical to the success of the project. Therefore, obviously, there is need for a customized plan.

Anyone can brand themselves a professional and just start marketing their services. As long as the potential clients do not ask for credentials who cares? Right? A well trained professional is much better. One must make sure to hire a well trained individual.
