Question 1

How can I enjoy my outdoor space in Goffstown during the winter?

Accepted Answer

Outdoor living doesn’t have to hibernate in the winter! Invest in features that make cold weather more bearable, like a gas fire table or even heated seating. A hot tub has always been a crowd-pleaser (and totally worth it for snowy nights), but a fast-coming trend in Goffstown is to install a Soake Pool, which is a smaller heated pool that can be used all year round. And don’t forget lighting—LED landscape lights and uplighting on trees make your yard look stunning even under a blanket of snow, adding an exceptional level of winter interest.

Question 2

What are some unique features that I can add to my patio?

Accepted Answer

How about a wood-fired pizza oven to impress your guests or a custom-built outdoor bar as part of an outdoor kitchen? A gas fire table is a can’t miss feature and outdoor speakers can also set the mood and add to the fun of any gathering.

Question 3

I live in Goffstown and want a low-maintenance yard—what should I focus on?

Accepted Answer

In Goffstown, prioritizing landscaping that works with our weather and seasons is a good start. Low-maintenance landscape design plans include native plants that are happy without constant watering or fertilizing. Reduce lawn areas that see low use with drought-resistant ground cover. Low-maintenance thinking can also include automated irrigation systems that adjust to weather conditions and opt for hardscapes like patios or gravel pathways over large lawn areas.

Question 4

What’s the best way to block my neighbor’s view of my patio to have more privacy?

Accepted Answer

The best way to block your neighbor’s view of your patio is with a layered approach that combines natural and structural elements. Start with a natural screen using trees and shrubs like arborvitae or hydrangeas to create a lush, layered green barrier. You can pair this with structural elements like trellises or privacy panels covered in climbing plants for added coverage and style, like varieties of clematis, wisteria, or hydrangea. If privacy from above is a concern, you can explore a pergola or deciduous trees with a wider spreading canopy.

Question 5

If I hire a landscape designer will they help me find a good landscape contractor?

Accepted Answer

We find the best results come when you work with a company that offers landscape design services AND landscape construction services. It just so happens Nest Outdoors offers both.
