The key to today’s smart lawn is designing the lawn with specific visual elements that interact and balance with other elements of the yard, such as garden landscaping and flower bed planting. Lawn used in this way adds meaning and is practical as well as sculptural.
A round lawn can be the stage for such play, or it can be a gathering place around a round fire pit that acts as a circle within a circle.
This geometric lawn is part of a green tapestry that includes geometrically planted beds.
If you want the look of grass but without the maintenance, artificial grass can be a good substitute.
The angular geometry of this lawn tracks the angle of the patio and tall planters, allowing the plants to bring bright green flecks that echo against the cool white walls and walkway.
Not everyone has space for a dramatic checkerboard lawn, but the impact is significant. In this garden, the lawn and paving stones are arranged alternately at the same height, making lawn mowing easy.
This includes using a chessboard lawn with giant chess pieces to transition one area of the garden into another.
Playing with lawn geometry can have surprising effects. Here, the hard-laid lawn is separated by areas of pavers that are “grouted” with grass.
The visual impact increases as the lawn becomes a design element on hardscaping with natural landscapes, trees, shrubs, and rocks.
Set against a backdrop of wood chip mulch, this playful lawn is artistic eye candy that brings life to an ordinary lawn.
Your lawn can become a living sculpture. This concentric circle effect is achieved by setting the mower at various cutting heights.
Simply dividing a large lawn with pavers can add visual impact to a large lawn.
Even the smallest lawn can be powerful. Here, homeowners use stones or concrete to create lawn “pavers”.
In this yard, where a river of dark green grass flows between stone floors, you can see the visual cooling effect of the grass.

Md Mia2024-09-27RDK Tree Service removed a large maple by the power lines. It was definitely not a easy job. They did the job safely and did it rather quickly. I will definitely recommend them for your tree services.
Bike Lover2024-09-27Residing in Buffalo NY, and needed to remove a large tree in the backyard and front yard. The crew did a fantastic job with removing it along with the stump. We are so impressed. Thank you RDK!
selvachandran saravanan2024-09-25Did a job here in my rental property in Amherst of removing two 60-70ft pine trees with stump removal and prepped an area for parking. RDK Landscaping is the one you should go to with your tree and landscaping/hardscaping needs. They are just the best overall!!
jackary Rootis2024-09-24I highly recommend them. Great crew, Super easy to work with. They’re doing a great job out here in East Amherst. Not only did I use them, but my neighbor and their son did as well and we couldn’t be happier.
DIANE Abram: Toot-Toot Daycare2024-09-21I hope these pictures speak for itself. I had called couple of companies to my property in Northampton, Buffalo, but only RDK Landscaping had come out so quick to give a quote for a project we started and couldn’t finish. They were so quick, efficient and had completed the project in about 2 days. They did a beautiful job, and answered all my questions throughout the entire process. I am so very thrilled about the results and could not recommend more! They are doing wonderful projects.
Dan Duggan2024-09-19RDK Landscaping did an amazing job! We had 8 dead ash trees at our property in Clarence that needed to be taken down given their proximity to the house and garage, in addition to two trees close to the power lines. I was very impressed with how quickly Roy and his team responded, came out to the property and got the job done. I would highly recommend them!
Andres Martinez2024-09-14Everybody at RDK Landscaping was a pleasure to deal with, we had a big project with them to clear up some really overgrown gardens beds around our garage, they went above and beyond making our space useable again. Once the project was complete they made sure to clean everything up and even cleared some weeds we had on our driveway that we hadn’t even mention to them. Can’t recommend them enough and will be calling them first for any future landscaping projects.
Esther Guess2024-09-12The guys were quick and effective at getting all that ivy down. Great work!
