How to Refresh Your Outdoor Space with a Landscape Renovation
Why Consider a Landscape Renovation?
Over time, even the best-designed landscape can start to feel worn out:
Plants outgrow their spaces
Shrubs become leggy or overgrown
Drainage issues lead to soggy spots or erosion
Walkways crack or feel dated
Outdoor spaces no longer fit your lifestyle
If that sounds familiar, a landscape renovation from Snow Creek Landscaping can give your property in Asheville or nearby communities a fresh start without tearing everything out.
Instead of piecemeal fixes, Snow Creek Landscaping looks at your entire property, making strategic updates that improve curb appeal, functionality, and the long-term health of your landscape. With over three decades of experience in Western North Carolina, they know how to refresh outdoor spaces in a way that works with our unique mountain climate.
Step One: Reimagine Your Outdoor Space
A successful landscape renovation starts with a clear vision.
Snow Creek Landscaping begins by walking your property with you, listening to how you use the space now and how you’d like to use it in the future. Maybe you want:
A welcoming front entry with colorful plantings
A larger patio for entertaining
Safer, more attractive steps and walkways
A low-maintenance landscape that still looks lush
Better privacy from neighbors
Because Snow Creek Landscaping is based in Arden, NC and serves Asheville, Hendersonville, and surrounding areas, their team understands the slopes, soil conditions, and rainfall patterns that shape local landscapes.
They’ll evaluate:
Sun and shade patterns
Drainage and erosion issues
Existing plants worth keeping or relocating
Views you want to highlight—or hide
Opportunities to create outdoor “rooms” for dining, relaxing, or play
This holistic approach ensures that your renovation doesn’t just look good the day it’s finished, but continues to thrive for years.
Refreshing Plant Beds with Thoughtful Design
One of the quickest ways to make your landscape feel new is to update your planting beds.
Snow Creek Landscaping can redesign your front and back landscape beds to add structure, color, and texture throughout the seasons. Their team specializes in tree and shrub installation, using varieties that perform well in Asheville’s four-season climate.
A plant-focused renovation might include:
Replacing overgrown shrubs with smaller, better-suited varieties
Adding evergreens for year-round structure and privacy
Incorporating flowering shrubs and perennials for spring and summer color
Using ornamental grasses and shrubs with fall color for seasonal interest
Refreshing mulch and redefining bed edges for a crisp, finished look
Because Snow Creek Landscaping knows which plants thrive in Western North Carolina, they can recommend options that are both beautiful and resilient, reducing long-term maintenance.
Upgrading Lawns: Sod, Synthetic Turf, and Smarter Solutions
If your lawn is patchy, uneven, or full of weeds, a landscape renovation is the perfect time to address it.
Snow Creek Landscaping offers expert sod installation for homeowners in Asheville and nearby towns who want an instantly lush, green landscape. Proper grading, soil preparation, and installation are crucial for long-term success—and that’s where their experience really matters.
For high-traffic or challenging areas, Snow Creek Landscaping can also recommend synthetic turf solutions. Synthetic turf is particularly useful:
In shaded spots where grass struggles
Along side landscapes or tight spaces that are hard to mow
In pet or play areas where natural grass wears out quickly
By combining natural lawn areas with synthetic turf where appropriate, you can dramatically improve both the look and usability of your outdoor space.
Transforming Hardscapes: Patios, Walkways, and Steps
Hardscaping is often the backbone of a great landscape renovation. Updating your hardscape can completely change how you move through and enjoy your landscape.
Snow Creek Landscaping designs and installs:
Patios for dining and entertaining
Walkways that connect key areas of your property
Stone or paver steps for safer transitions on slopes
Retaining walls that manage grade changes and create usable space
Whether you prefer natural flagstone, pavers, or a combination of materials, Snow Creek Landscaping can create a custom patio or walkway that fits your home’s architecture and the mountain character of Asheville, NC.
A well-planned hardscape renovation often becomes the foundation for everything else—plantings, lighting, and outdoor living features all radiate from these core elements.
Adding Outdoor Living Features: Fire, Cooking, and Gathering
A landscape renovation is also a chance to bring in new outdoor living amenities that make your landscape feel like an extension of your home.
Snow Creek Landscaping regularly designs and builds:
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits for year-round gathering
Outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and prep areas
Sitting walls and built-in seating
Cozy corners for lounging with a view
In Asheville and the surrounding mountains, an outdoor fireplace or fire pit can extend your outdoor season well into the cooler months. Snow Creek Landscaping will help you choose the right location, materials, and design to keep things both beautiful and code-compliant.
Don’t Forget the Details: Drainage and Lighting
Two of the most impactful parts of a landscape renovation are also the least glamorous: drainage and lighting.
Smart Drainage Solutions
Western North Carolina’s heavy rains can quickly reveal problem spots. Snow Creek Landscaping addresses drainage with solutions like:
Grading and soil correction
Cobble swales to guide water safely
Rain gardens that capture and filter stormwater
By building in proper drainage as part of your renovation, Snow Creek Landscaping protects your investment and helps prevent erosion and plant loss.
Nighttime Magic with Landscape Lighting
Thoughtful landscape lighting highlights your new features and makes your landscape safer to navigate after dark. Snow Creek Landscaping designs lighting plans to:
Illuminate walkways and steps
Highlight trees, architectural elements, and focal points
Create ambiance around patios and seating areas
The result is an outdoor space that looks as good at night as it does during the day.
