Planning for summer

Laura Briedis • January 13, 2026

Give your family something to look forward to this summer. The team at Impact Landscaping is already preparing designs for what will become some of the most envied yards in the area.

Although snow may still be covering the grounds, Impact Landscaping is hard at work creating versatile and multi-seasonal outdoor spaces. The time to start planning for your design is right now.


For homeowners eager to make the most of their back yards, winter is not a pause—it’s an opportunity.


“Even when the backyard is buried under a blanket of snow, our outdoor spaces are already taking shape—on paper,” says Joe Chiera, who, along with his wife Kristen, owns Impact Landscaping. “For homeowners who dream of transforming their yard into a private oasis, now is the time to start planning.”


For Impact Landscaping, winter is a season of imagination, design and strategy. 


Creating a true backyard oasis requires thoughtful consideration of how the space will be used throughout the year. Will it be a place for entertaining large groups of family and friends? A quiet retreat for morning coffee? A family-friendly area with room to play and even swim? Or all of the above?


Outdoor Hardscapes

Impact Landscaping designs and installs outdoor spaces that function as extensions of the home, providing additional square footage for everyday living. From home additions with retractable screens that open to an outdoor patio, to pavilions set back in the yard and connected by meandering walkways, to pergolas framing outdoor kitchens, every design is tailored to the homeowner’s lifestyle.


Specializing in outdoor pavilions, pergolas and other patio spaces, this local company creates spaces that offer shelter and comfort, allowing homeowners to enjoy their backyard almost year-round. The result is an outdoor oasis that rivals the feel of a five-star resort—right at home.


Al Fresco Dining

In Northeast Ohio, homeowners relish time spent outdoors and that usually centers around cooking and dining. Whether building a patio to house a grill, a pergola screening the sun over the dining table, or a pavilion with a full-service kitchen, Impact has done it all.


“Outdoor living is about creating moments,” Joe says. “It’s where everyday routines slow down and meaningful memories are made.”


Water, Water Everywhere

Impact Landscaping likes to incorporate a mix of water and fire features, as well as lots of natural elements, in all its landscape designs. The goal is to provide an outdoor space that is relaxing.


“Growing up as a kid, I was always playing in the woods and creeks, so I really enjoy bringing that sense of adventure to backyard landscapes,” Joe recalls. “There are a lot of different water features we can add to your landscape design, from fountains to coy ponds to waterfalls cascading down boulders.”


One of the biggest focal points homeowners can add to their backyard is a swimming pool. 

Impact installs fiberglass pools in all shapes and sizes designed with unique features, such as tanning ledges and beach entry slopes. 



“Fiberglass pools are very low- maintenance,” says Joe, noting there is no liner, they don’t need re-plastering and they don’t snag swimwear. “If you want a pool for this summer, now is the time to schedule the project as we can start digging in the next months.”


Impact Landscaping is scheduling pool installations for summer. It offers free consultations.
