How to Landscape Your Beachfront Property in Charleston



Well-planned landscaping can create idyllic surroundings for property owners. Saltwater landscaping is an option. However, you need to consider cost effectiveness, maintenance, and capability. This will ensure that your property has a healthy environment that meets the needs of both nature and your family.

These are some of the top tips for landscaping your beachfront property.

Salt-tolerant greenery is a key element to consider when landscaping the seaside. You should plant greenery with different salt tolerance levels if your house is located within one-eighth of a mile of the Charleston oceanfront. All kinds of plants, including confederate jasmine, Japanese black evergreen, willow Oak, and oleander, are extremely tolerant to salt, sandy soil, and dry conditions.

The percentage of direct sun exposure – This is an important factor to consider when designing and creating a landscape on your beachfront property. Your home’s exposure to sun will affect the plants you choose and the location they are placed. A professional Charleston lawn care and landscaping company can help you determine if the plants you are considering using will tolerate full sun, partial shade, full shade or total shade. Consider any nearby buildings, such as sheds or cabanas that provide partial shade during the day. This will impact the choice of shrubbery and plants you choose.

Hardscape – This is the entire landscape made up of non-grass surfaces. Avoid using non-porous surfaces such as concrete or blacktop for hardscaping. The toxins in water that flows from these surfaces can be carried into the oceans and other bodies of water. Think about what effect you want to create before you start designing hardscapes. You should have a style like mine. Choose only a few materials to bring it to life.

Do not choose a style that is only one color or texture. You should choose two to three visually appealing materials and include them in your beachfront landscaping design.

Porous surfaces such as bricks, gravel, mulch, gravel, and turf block should be used for your landscape design Charleston SC. These porous hardscape surfaces are beneficial for the environment as well as cost-effective and can help reduce water runoff.
