Landscaping completes a home. How can you landscape a waterfront home?
Waterfront homes are more than the houses alone. They also include the properties on which they sit, which can include ample landscapes and access to the water. In Maryland, having a waterfront home means you can take in nature with a stunning view of the Chesapeake Bay or one of its connected waterways. These landscaping ideas for waterfront homes can take your Maryland waterfront property to the next level this spring.
A Sunroom
As part of your waterfront home design, you can incorporate a sunroom to get the most out of the views and natural sunlight without the harshness of the weather. Being next to the water can be windier and chillier, but a sunroom will protect you from those aspects of the shoreline.
Outdoor Living Areas to Take in the Views
Even so, there are other fantastic options for creating an outdoor living area on a waterfront property in Maryland. It’s a good idea to create an outdoor living space that will maximize that water view. It could be a deck, patio, balcony, screened porch, or all of the above.
A Pathway to the Dock
If you have riparian rights–that is, the right to access the water via your shoreline–you can build a private dock and create a pathway to that dock. This pathway could be brick, concrete, gravel, or natural stepping stones, just to name a few possibilities.
Native Plant Gardens
Whether you are planning your home design or living in it, it’s never too early or late to think about incorporating a native plant garden at your home. Maryland has tons of beautiful species that foster a healthy ecosystem, including the water-loving Maryland native hibiscus, Rosemallow.
Your Favorite Landscaping Features
Backyards can have all kinds of amenities that make the outdoors home. Hot tubs, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, water features, and shade structures are popular outdoor living features for Maryland homes on the water and inland alike. Find even more outdoor living ideas here.
