Each landscape design is unique and must take into account many things including your climate, topography of your property
and the surrounding properties to ensure correct water runoff, your family and lifestyle, the physical layout of the property and
of course your personal taste. Secondarily you must also remember that plants of all kinds grow and that almost all plants are
seasonal in their appearance. It is important that you plan that growth and seasonality into your design.
During the planning stage, you should consider if the landscaping could be beneficial to your home environment. Planting large
trees can shade rooms in your home from intense sun, lowering energy costs as well as providing privacy.
A beautiful landscaping does not require enormous amounts of space and in fact, some of the nicest landscaping designs are
incorporated into quite small areas.
A good starting point is make a list of all the things that are must haves in your landscaping. Items such as a barbeque area,
swing set and sandbox for the kids, a putting green or an area where you can sit and read and just enjoy the outdoors. Once
you have identified the key items that you must have consider an overall style or theme.
There are five basic landscaping styles:
English: The classic English garden is a compliment to the architectural style of your home and uses a combination of numerous
perennials, bushes, and shrubs. Small water features are very common in this theme.
Woodland: Brings the great outdoors to your property by incorporating large trees, providing a lot of shade. Large water
features such as waterfalls and streams incorporate very well into the Woodland theme.
Oriental: An oriental theme works extremely well in smaller areas. It combines rocks with small bushes and evergreens. The use
of small oriental style statues and other art works ads to the overall appearance. Small water features can be incorporated into
the oriental theme.
Formal: The formal garden is a showpiece that incorporates symmetrical designs and known geometric shapes all connected
with very straight lines, this applies to pathways, and plant beds. The formal garden is probably the highest maintenance theme,
as all plants must be continually maintained to create a high degree of uniformity.
Informal: The informal theme works well with if your landscaping is to be child friendly, as it is the easiest theme to incorporate a
children’s play area. Patterns are completely random and move from densely planted flowerbeds to open areas of grass.
Planning is the key to any successful home improvement project.

Why do some homes have such exquisite landscaping while
others are continually going through stages of trial and error?
The major difference between landscaping that looks as if it was
designed by a professional and those that appear to have no
design alone is a lot of thought and planning. It makes little sense
to pick a landscaping look that you have seen in a southwest
home and garden magazine if you live in the northeast. Like wise
choosing a landscape design that was prepared for a 5,000
square foot property when you only have 500 square feet will not
work.
