Having the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood is something that many home owners have dreamed about, but few have actually took initiative and achieved. Some can afford to hire professional landscapers that can make a yard look amazing with little effort from the owner, but many people's budgets just can't find a place for professional landscaping. However, by following a few tips, you can do the landscaping yourself and have an incredible looking yard. Before starting your landscaping project, plan it out. Most landscaping involves many steps, and doing those steps out of order can lead to complications. Plan on planting flowers, bushes, and vines last. Before they are planted, you need to make sure that any hardscaping around them is already done. If you plant first, you may have to trample your plants many times over in order to do work around them. Use a variety of plants and colors to make your yard look complete. Only planting one type of plant may look uniform and lovely for a season, but as soon as it goes out of season, your yard is left looking plain. While it's a good idea to follow a color scheme in your plan, be sure not to limit that scheme to just a few colors. Garden fashion is different than clothing fashion, as you can incorporate many more colors without any “clashing.” Plant in layers to create a beautiful yard from top to bottom. The topmost layer is usually trees or tall bushes. A tree's foliage may look lovely, but it's trunk may appear naked. You can dress it up by surrounding it with smaller bushes, and surrounding those with smaller flowers, and finally ground cover. Rather than a plant jutting out of the ground, try to build your garden to look like the plants are flowing from the ground like a wave. By following these tips, you can embark on your own landscaping journey and finally have the yard and garden you've always dreamed of.
