Is Stamped Concrete is the Right Solution for Your Outdoor Living Area?
July 21, 2020If you are considering adding a walkway, driveway or patio to your outdoor area, stamped concrete might be a good solution. It can resemble higher end materials, such as brick or paver stones and even weathered lumber, at a fraction of the cost.
That is why we thought we would bring it to your attention. A stamped concrete patio or driveway gives homeowners many benefits over other traditional materials, such as pavers or bricks. See a list of benefits to opting for a stamped or decorative concrete installation.
5 Benefits of Stamped or Decorative Concrete:
1) Quick & Easy Installation
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of concrete is the ease of installation. Stamped concrete requires a lot less manual labor than a brick or paver installation. Installing stamped concrete is faster than setting natural stone or pavers.
2) Variety of Options
Decorative Concrete is an old concept that has benefited from new install techniques in the past couple of decades. Options range from brushed finish (typical sidewalks) and exposed aggregate (tiny pebbles) to stamped concrete with synthetic designs printed onto them.
Thanks to the ease of installation and the technological advances in manipulating concrete to mimic a variety of materials. The possibilities are limitless.
3) Durability & Low Maintenance
Stamped concrete can last for decades without a ton of maintenance. Unlike pavers or natural stone that need ongoing maintenance to keeping the joints filled with sand and preventing weeds from growing between them.
Although stamped concrete looks like the real deal, it only needs resealed every other year to keep it from chipping or cracking. Sealing also helps to preserve the color. Other than resealing, just sweep it to keep it free from debris and dirt.
4) Safety Factor
Concrete holds up extremely well and remains level avoiding tripping hazards or awkwardly placed furnishings. It is slip resistant when treated with a non-skid additive.
5) Ease of Customization
The ease of installing stamped concrete makes it simple to mold it to your preferences and shapes. Concrete has wide berth of coloring options to match the exterior of a home, existing hardscaping or landscaping.
Stamped concrete is customizable when it comes to color, textures and patterns. It can replicate stone, slate, flagstone, marble, bricks, pavers and even weathered lumber.
At the end of the day, your patio must fit your family’s needs. That is a bit easier to do with stamped concrete. Poured concrete works beautifully when creating curves and other unique designs that fit nicely into existing landscaping.
If you are considering a stamped concrete or decorative concrete installation, talk with one of our landscaped design specialist at DiSabatino Landscaping. We can quickly and expertly install a stamped concrete walkway, patio or driveway that will enhance your outdoor living area for years to come.

12 Great Features to Consider Adding to Custom Outdoor Swimming Pools
July 7, 2020Custom outdoor swimming pools are a terrific way to have staycations throughout the spring and summer, sometimes into the fall months. Whether our clients opt for custom gunite pools, fiberglass pools or vinyl liner pools, they always ask us what added features are best.
While the answer to this question will vary depending on a client’s preferences and needs, we find that laying out all the options help focus on inground pool designs to reflect their vision. Once they get a feel for the custom features that they want, they will need to compare the costs of such features to their budget and prioritize the ones they really want.
With the summer in full swing, parents are facing unique challenges this year. We thought sharing a few features of our inground pool designs that can help keep your kids at home safe, healthy and more importantly, happy!
12 Features to Consider With Your Custom Swimming Pool Installation:
1) Pool Slide: A custom pool slide can add a little life to any inground swimming pool and make your custom pool the envy of the neighborhood. There are a wide variety of custom designed pool slides available with different sized flumes that will reflect your style and wishes.
2) Diving Board or Diving Rock: Diving boards can serve as an enjoyable recreational feature to your custom swimming pool provided your pool design is deep enough. If you have energetic pool goers that would enjoy doing somersaults and backflips, this might be a feature you should add to your pool.
3) Hot tub:Hot tubs or spillover spas that are raised above the pool level serves a duel purpose; that of being therapeutic and an added water feature to custom swimming pools.
4) Grotto: Adding a cave or grotto as a place to retreat from the glaring sun or the crowd to peacefully meditate is becoming a very popular water feature in many custom pool designs.
5) Pool Bar: If you’re planning on entertaining an adult audience that appreciate imbibing cocktails while relaxing in a pool, a swim up pool bar might be a nice feature to add to your pool.
6) Fountain: A cascading water fountain adds a peaceful ambience to custom swimming pools that are not only therapeutic but a great aerators that will keep the water cool.
7) Waterfall: Built with Real or Faux Boulders, cascading waterfalls add a naturalistic element to custom swimming pools and one of the most popular water features around. These too are great aerators to keep water temperatures cooler.
8) Rain Curtain: Young and old alike enjoy the cooling curtains of water falling into the pool from a pergola roof or some other overhang.
9) Bubblers: Small jets set in the floor of a shallow end of a custom swimming pool shoot streams of water that gurgle or bubble up to the surface.
10) Deck Jets: Thin arching streams of water shooting from the pool decking into the pool can be illuminated with color changing LED lights to make any night swim a fun event.
11) Mist Curtains: Having a fog or misting system around the pool can greatly reduce the air temperature making for a much more comfortable pool side nap.
12) Pool House: Want to keep everyone comfortable and close to all the amenities? Consider a pool house with changing and bathroom, refrigerator full of everyone’s favorite beverages and maybe even a comfortable sitting area to shelter from inclement weather.
Make summer at home this year full of fond memories of how your family chose to focus on what really matters in life, quality time with those you love in your very own custom swimming pool.

Custom Outdoor Kitchens to Brighten Up Your Summer!
June 23, 2020There are many advantages of custom outdoor kitchens that make outdoor living spaces more usable and adds value to your home. Outdoor kitchens are a perfect addition to enhance your staycation location with beauty and quality.
This summer promises to be full of unique challenges to residents around our community. With social distancing and mask wearing expected to be in place for the short term and possibly beyond, many are exploring ways to cope.
One great way to adjust to our current climate during a pandemic is to find ways to get outside and enjoy Mother Nature. What better way than to improve your outdoor living area to include an outdoor kitchen.
A fully equipped outdoor kitchen will allow you to extend your entertaining outdoors where distancing is easier and airflow more conducive to avoiding the Covid-19 virus. Natural stone floors and outdoor rooms with built-in outdoor kitchen appliances can make entertaining possible in these trying times.
Personalizing your outdoor cooking area is key to getting the most out of your custom kitchen design. Consider what your entertaining style is before deciding on what the focus of your outdoor kitchen will be. If you tend to be more into creating signature cocktails than food, then make sure you incorporate a showcase bar.
There is a wide variety of ways to customize an outdoor kitchen to meet your particular needs and style. For example, if your family and friends are really into pizza, you might consider installing a wood fired pizza oven.
For those really into grilling, a cooking station with all the bells and whistles would most likely be the right choice. Into an ambient location to sit and converse? A custom fire pit or fireplace with an inviting seating area should be your focus.
If you have an outdoor pool, a combined pool house and kitchen is a great way to prevent dripping water from soggy bathers using your indoor bathroom or grabbing a snack. It also makes it easier to supervise children while preparing a meal.
Sports fanatics would most likely appreciate a tailgate atmosphere where they can grill up some prime meats while watching their favorite team on a large screen television with a built in surround sound.
If you are lucky enough to have a beautiful view of a scenic spot, designing an outdoor kitchen to accentuate it makes sense. Framing the view with a strategically constructed pergola or pavilion will enable for hours of time spent appreciating your blessings.
While there are so many ways to create an outdoor kitchen to enhance your living space, the place to start is with a professional and experienced designer. DiSabatino Landscaping has been creating beautiful outdoor kitchens and living areas for several decades.

10 Top Landscaping Trends for 2020
April 14, 2020As the weather starts to warm and the outdoor living season begins, those of us at DiSabatino Landscaping are using this time to connect with our clientele to see if they have any needs we can fill for them. This growing season presents unique challenges as communities across the nation fighting the spread of COVID-19 are social distancing and working from home. Not to mention the kids home 24/7.
Thankfully, the landscape industry is considered an essential business and we are busier than ever preparing to install some impressive outdoor living spaces. Our landscape designers are adapting to the current climate by video conferencing with clients, supplying detailed 3-D renderings and virtual designs that can easily take a project from the design stage to full implementation.
With so many families finding themselves quarantined at home, there is a sudden desire to create outdoor living areas to extend their home’s square footage. If you are considering investing in a ‘staycation’ project this year, consider some of this year’s latest hardscaping and landscaping trends.
Top Landscaping Trends for 2020:
1) Fire features: Whether it is a tradition wood burning fire pit, a tabletop fire bowl or a full brick fireplace, fire features are considered a must in today’s outdoor living spaces. Not only does this add ambiance or a central focal point, it extends the use of outdoor spaces to cooler temperatures.
2) Intricate geometric hardscaping patterns: The latest interior design patterns are starting to emerge into the outdoors — even walkways can now have flair. Geometric shapes, like trapezoids, the chevron pattern (a repeating V) or hexagons now adorn patios, raised beds, benches and stairways.
3) Textured elements: Whether through pillows, textiles, rugs or even faux rug inlays, textured materials are adding big statements to outdoor living areas.
4) Outdoor living rooms: In today’s world, connecting with nature is a great stress reliever. That is why many families are moving to the outdoors to share meals, exercise and even relax after a long day. A living area covered by a pavilion, gazebo or pergola is a perfect way to make your outdoor living space livable.
7Ways to Add Value to Your Outdoor Kitchen
5) Water features: The sound of water is relaxing. It can bring you to a meditative state. In a world full of a cacophony of sounds, a simple water feature, such as a waterfall, pond or fountain can be the de-stressor you never knew you needed!
6) Front porch living: The return to sitting on the front porch on warm summer evenings started trending last year and is expected to continue throughout this one. Homes with square footage at a minimum can maximize outdoor living space by creating a functional gathering space. Using a mixture of materials, such as hardscaped walls that double as planters, pavers to provide a pathway to the front door and plantings will add great curb appeal to any property.

7) Smart irrigation, controlled remotely via smartphone app: Smart tech is now escaping the walls of the home to make outdoor living easier to maintain. Why not? With the simple touch of a button, homeowners can control their irrigation system to provide their landscapes the right amount of water at the right time of day. This saves time, energy and water … it’s a win/win!
8) Blue accents: Whether through plantings, sculptures, textiles or water features, shades of blue are being used to accent outdoor living spaces. In gardens, blue fortune, delphinium, hydrangea, hyacinth, and globe thistle are adding rich highlights.
TheBest Summer Blooming Shrubs
9) Low-water landscaping: Climate change is front and central nowadays and the idea of dumping gallons of water onto lawns each season is starting to make no sense to many homeowners. Ornamental lawns are the single most irrigated ‘crop’ in the Unites States … a crop that feeds no one. This has spurred on a search for better alternatives, such as landscapes that require minimal amount of watering.
10) Mainstream Sustainability: “Low-maintenance gardens, drought-tolerant plants and less turfgrass have become the norm in landscape design. Homeowners now assume sustainable design will be a major part of the plan — both for economic and environmental reasons.” ~ HGTV
