Spring into Gardening Season
March 28, 2025
How lot selection sets the stage for a blooming backyard:
As the ground begins to thaw and the first flowers of spring appear, nature invites us outside to dream, dig, and plant. For many homeowners, a lush backyard garden or thoughtfully landscaped yard is more than a seasonal hobby – it’s a vital part of what makes a house feel like home.
At Oakmont Development, we understand that outdoor space is just as important as the interior floor plan. That's why choosing the right lot can be the first and most important step in creating your perfect garden retreat.
When selecting a home site, consider these features:
- Sunlight direction: A backyard that faces south or west will get ample sunlight—perfect for vegetable beds, perennial borders, or even a small greenhouse.
- Available space: Some lots offer expanded side or rear yards ideal for future patios, raised garden beds, or tranquil landscaping zones.
- Natural privacy and tree lines: Lots backing up to green space offer a peaceful backdrop and the opportunity to blend your landscaping into the surrounding environment.
In the communities Oakmont builds, these considerations aren’t afterthoughts – they’re integral to our neighborhood planning. We believe a home isn’t complete without space to grow, bloom, and root yourself in the place where memories are made. Let’s find the right lot to plant your dreams.
