Coastal Landscapes: Love the Sea, Hate the Sun

When discovering a well-known beachfront, it’s obvious that the sun is the star of the show. With gorgeous oceanfront views and an abundance of entourage, all that’s needed is a cool beverage and eye shades. You can then bask in the beauty of coastal landscapes.

Completing the Design

Enhancing the space with a few wise choices is the goal for a well-rounded effect—especially for those that shun the sun. Include plenty of shade in these beachfront spaces would be much appreciated.

Exterior Landscape Design Considers Choices

Careful consideration is a necessity when developing a seashore installation that allows for varied and individual design.  One may be looking for a private getaway or an opportunity for intimacy, whilst others seek an exciting spot to enjoy time with friends or family members. All can be satisfied with a dash of vibrant color and an efficient shading structure to make shoreline picnicking a little more pleasant.

Just Contemplating the Day

Speaking of picnics, what are the seating choices? Repetition can dull the senses without some relief.

Concoct a medley of concepts to charm visitors and tempt them to come out and take in the view. Ornamentation can be both functional and striking. Adding potted trees, a fabric pavilion, or simply a bench with colorful vegetation has merit when imagination and originality guide the plan.

Beachfront enhancements can be a cost benefit, rather than a budgetCoastal Landscapes: Loving the beach under the sun drain. One can find generosity within patterns, textures, height, silhouettes and color when accenting natural tones. A beachfront setting can easily be brought alive without breaking the bank. When identifying the final touches to complete the scene, the point is style – not price. This may seem contradictory to the goal of financial discretion. However, design success determines synergy:  The whole (value) being greater than the sum of its parts.

Broaden the versatility of this picturesque oasis with well-appointed furnishings. Practical concepts (for instance, tables for chess or checkers) enable visitors to enjoy an extended lunch wherein they can revitalize their mind and refresh their spirit.

Choosing Brands and Plant Materials

For a myriad of pragmatic reasons, choosing vendors who show concern for life-cycle costs is always a smart move.  In this type of venue, warranty is the key to an enduring design that stands up to public use.  Materials, such as granite or concrete, look appropriate, give value for costs and keep their appearance over time.

Choosing the perfect plant materials for the venuePlant materials should be chosen for hardiness and easy maintenance in a budget-conscious plan. Constant exposure to salty air is another consideration when choosing materials and plants.

With careful attention to planning and details, a public beachfront boardwalk can be a delightful venue attractive to regular visitors and tourists who wish to take in the sea air in a shady spot. Some may even come to enjoy the fully exposed boardwalk. It will be interesting to see which space is occupied first…
