Tip
A good home landscape is both beautiful and functional, with plants and features working together in harmony.
The ideal landscape provides your family with recreation, privacy, and pleasure - even as those needs change over time. Moreover, the landscape should - and will - add to your home's value and its curb appeal in all seasons, especially fortunate at selling time.
Learn how to get started with your plans.
- Think of designing a landscape for the bare lot surrounding your new home as an adventure in creativity.
- Perhaps your property needs only a few small, easily doable projects to make it more attractive. Therefore, it's important to consider how each change will relate to the big picture.
- Stand back from time to time to see the entire landscape and how each part fits into it.
- Begin at square one, whether you seek to perform landscaping magic by transforming a new site or you are refreshing an established one.
- Starting at square one means that you first see what you have to work with.
- Look at your landscape as if through a giant magnifying glass -- scrutinizing every detail. Next, allow yourself to dream. You’ll be soon conjuring up all sorts of ideas and sketching out some rough plans.
- By gradually working through the initial stages, you'll move on to planning and eventually have a finished design. Developing a Master Plan
Tip
A pleasing mix of trees, shrubs, flowers, paving, and outdoor furniture creates an intimate landscape that invites relaxation.
Landscape professionals will tell you that a master plan is the key to any landscape project or solution. Landscape master plan is more than a drawing or a design - it's a well-thought-out plan of action that includes a design. This enables you to feel confident that you're on the correct path toward building the landscape that's right for you and your property.
