Basic Tips and Ideas for Planning Your Home Landscaping and Garden Project

Your Home is your Castle. It's the place to go when it's time to relax, have fun, entertain and do whatever you want. You'll want every place in your home to be attractive, comforting and appealing - your yard and gardens as well...and considering that your surroundings affect the way you feel, the way your yard looks to others, and your own family is of great importance.

Are you thinking about or planning a landscaping project to make your yard look great but aren't sure where to start or what to do? Need some good landscaping ideas?

Landscaping is responsible for making drab and solid areas pleasing to the eyes. It is responsible for making ordinary homes into spectacular ones and skyscrapers into livable buildings.

A well planned landscape design is pleasing to the eyes and enhances the value of your property. However, planning a landscape is not as simple as arranging trees, plants, and shrubs on your property.

It's considered by many people as an art which recognizes the importance of harmony and organization of the space outside your house or in your gardens.

Here are some things that may help you plan for your yard landscaping, garden design, pool landscaping, and patio design project.

First, decide why you want to landscape your property

Some basic reasons for landscaping include the establishment of a visual harmony between the house and its surroundings (the great outdoors), reducing maintenance time and costs to a workable and practical level, and the enhancement of your place, both for pleasure and use.

Unfortunately many people waste a lot of money on landscaping because of poor planning or no planning at all. A good local landscape architect working with a local landscape contractor is probably the best way to create a new and exciting - and successful - landscape project.

Things to do when planning your project

Yes, you can complete your own successful landscape project with proper planning, too. Use as many of the ideas and suggestions from these pages that seem appropriate for your home and family enjoyment.

For your project to be beautiful, practical, and meaningful, you need to consider how the space is usually used, and what it will take to make you happy enough to keep living there. Do this by visualizing the things that you will put in your property. It's important to look at your existing landscape designs and learn from their innovation and mistakes.

You'll need to have a good idea of the materials that are easily obtainable and will not cause you procurement problems that can radically affect your design concept. Taking time to look at the ecology of your site is also important since this is one of the main factors that has an impact on your planned design.

     

Layout tips


Regarding the layout, look at the following: terrain, size of the area, and your allocated budget. The terrain of your area means knowing its natural elevations, the kind of grass growing in it, trees already there, and other structures that may affect your plan.



Your  budget will be the main consideration when it comes to choosing the type of design and materials you'll use for your project

Your yard size will determine whether large items like islands or big trees could be included in the project, and whether garden paths, stone walls, and paved walkways will fit in the area and design concept.

Larger yards with significant slopes and elevations provide a great opportunity to include attractive walkways and stone steps.

While planning your project, keep in mind that landscaping will not always enhance or beautify the looks of a building. But, if the landscaping is planned properly and executed correctly, it will greatly improve the appearance of a building by making it look more livable, warm, and unique.
