Are there any special considerations when performing maintenance tasks on a newly installed landscape feature such as a walkway or driveway?

Budgetary concerns include materials, initial installation costs, and ongoing maintenance costs. It's very important to consider how you currently use the patio. For example, what entrance does who use, where do children play, and where does the dog usually run? (Figure) Thinking about how you use the patio today and how you want to use it in the future (Figure 1) determines the need to reorganize old spaces into new spaces and amenities. It's also important to remember the vehicles your family uses; driveways and parking consume a lot of space.

Determine how much time and money you are willing to invest in plant and landscape maintenance; be realistic about your intentions and abilities. The cost of installing a new front yard walkway for your residential landscape design in New Jersey will depend on the size, shape, material, and complexity of the design. Additional costs may occur if leveling or demolition is required. Major development projects (commercial developments of more than 10 acres, industrial development of more than 15 acres, and residential developments that include 100 units or more) must establish an existing lighting, landscaping and maintenance sub-area of the district to cover the additional lighting, landscaping and maintenance costs of the new project.
