Creating shaded areas is one of the most valuable upgrades homeowners can make to their outdoor spaces. In climates with strong sun exposure, shade is essential for comfort, usability, and long-term landscape health. At R.E. and Sons Landscaping, we design shaded landscapes that are both functional and visually appealing, helping homeowners enjoy their yards year-round.

Improved Comfort and Outdoor Enjoyment

Shaded areas significantly reduce heat, making patios, seating areas, and play spaces far more comfortable. Whether it’s a pergola over a patio or trees positioned to block afternoon sun, shade allows families to spend more time outdoors without discomfort. This added comfort turns unused yards into true outdoor living spaces.


Protection for Plants and Hardscaping

Shade doesn’t just benefit people—it protects your landscape investment. Excessive sun can stress plants, dry out soil, and cause fading or cracking in hardscape materials. Proper shade placement helps plants retain moisture, reduces water demand, and extends the lifespan of patios, pavers, and outdoor furniture.


Enhanced Curb Appeal and Property Value

Shaded landscapes add depth, structure, and visual interest to a property. Features like pergolas, shade trees, and covered seating areas create a polished, high-end look that enhances curb appeal. These elements also increase usability, which can boost overall property value and buyer interest.


Energy Efficiency Benefits

Strategically placed shade trees can help lower indoor temperatures by blocking direct sunlight from hitting your home. This natural cooling effect can reduce energy usage during warmer months, making shaded landscaping an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.


Custom Shade Solutions for Every Yard

Every property is different, which is why custom design matters. R.E. and Sons Landscaping offers tailored shade solutions using pergolas, trees, and structures that complement your home’s layout and style while maximizing comfort and function.


Transform Your Yard with Purposeful Shade

Shaded areas create balance between beauty and practicality. With the right design, your landscape becomes a comfortable retreat for relaxing, entertaining, and everyday living. R.E. and Sons Landscaping specializes in creating shaded outdoor spaces that elevate your yard and make it more enjoyable for years to come.
