<strong>Landscaping</strong> design can make a huge difference <strong>to</strong> the entire aesthetics of your<br />

backyard. A beautifully landscaped yard can give off vibes of positivity, beauty and<br />

happiness. The backyard can turn in<strong>to</strong> a hideous little place <strong>to</strong> a breathtaking area that<br />

is com<strong>for</strong>table, relaxing and the perfect place <strong>to</strong> escape from your everyday hectic<br />

schedule <strong>for</strong> a hot cup of coffee – or tea.


While hitting the garden s<strong>to</strong>re is probably the first thing many homeowners do when<br />

they want <strong>to</strong> redo their garden, but moving ahead with a plan is always a wise<br />

decision. A landscaping plan can help you decide the types of flowers, plants and<br />

other things like furniture and accessories that you want <strong>to</strong> choose <strong>for</strong> your renewed<br />

yard. Here are 5 things you should do be<strong>for</strong>e hitting the garden s<strong>to</strong>re <strong>for</strong> landscaping<br />

ideas:


Understand <strong>Your</strong> <strong>Yard</strong><br />

It is important <strong>to</strong> understand the chemistry of your backyard in terms of climate,<br />

types of flowers, exposure <strong>to</strong> sunlight, categories of shades, etc. All of this planning<br />

will help you determine the kinds of plants and flowers you want <strong>to</strong> choose and<br />

also the location where it is best <strong>to</strong> plant them.


Using The <strong>Yard</strong><br />

knowing the type of audience in your yard can help you make a better decision about<br />

the design, plants, flowers and other accessories. If you have kids in your home, you<br />

will want a portion of the yard <strong>to</strong> work as a playing area where you can install swings<br />

or let the space be open <strong>for</strong> kids <strong>to</strong> play otherwise. While on the other hand, the<br />

design may be different if it’s going <strong>to</strong> be used only by adults who want <strong>to</strong> relax and<br />

take some fresh air.


Choose Plants That Will Benefit You<br />

If you’re going <strong>to</strong> invest in landscaping, it’s smart <strong>to</strong> think of ways you can reap<br />

benefits from it. Choose plants and flowers that will be advantageous <strong>for</strong> you in the<br />

long run; flowers that give fresh fragrances, plants that give fruits and vegetables. You<br />

can also use these plantings <strong>to</strong> create sections in the yard or use these as barriers <strong>to</strong><br />

block off access from one side, but keeping the view seamless and intact.


Garden Furniture<br />

The garden furniture should be placed from where you can have a good view of the<br />

entire yard so you can soothe your eyes with beautiful flowers and plants while taking<br />

in some fresh air. The area where you plan <strong>to</strong> put the furniture should be hardscaped<br />

with beautiful benches, paved walkways and sidewalks, s<strong>to</strong>nes or marble steps <strong>to</strong> raise<br />

the aesthetics of the yard.


Take Care of <strong>Your</strong> Plants<br />

When choosing plants, keep resource efficiency in your mind. <strong>Some</strong> plants require<br />

more water than others, frequent pruning than others, etc. Choose those that will<br />

require you <strong>to</strong> make minimal ef<strong>for</strong>t while saving you a whole load of resources, most<br />

importantly water. The right combination of hardscaping and landscaping along with<br />

an intelligent choice of greenery and plant placement can make your investment<br />

worth every penny.
