Before shovel meets dirt, breathe deeply and close your eyes and imagine … crazy nature? Believe me, it can happen. When it comes to creating beautiful and functional outdoor spaces, a little imagination and foresight (and graph paper) goes a long way. Here are some tips for first hand to help you avoid beginner mistakes – mine!

Have a plan

I figured, nature a plan. Why do I need? Well, it turns out that nature has a plan – survival of the fittest. The strong overcome the weak. And the concept of aesthetics is a concept unknown to nature. We, the owners, on the contrary, we want all our plants to survive and prosper resale strong and weak hand singing Kum by Ya bunch that we Focal Point birch swaying gently in hammocks, lips stained with Kool-Aid. And when we open our eyes the NAP in August, we see rolling, flowing waves of plant life and envious neighbors. Will not happen without a plan.

In the planning of gardens, from a paper and pencil (plot plan). Outline your lot, house and driveway, and begin doodling some ideas. Flowers Draw – do you curve, flowing or soft limits, the formal lines and angles of the beds? Independent groups of shrubs, herbs and flowers – Where? And trees – leaves persistent or deciduous, upright, alone or in groups or built in bed?

Need ideas? Visit dang neighbors. Take a drive and choose counter is particularly well equipped. Take notes or even pictures. Tip: leave the telephoto lens at home to avoid neighbors calling 911. Better yet, ask the owner's permission first. It is likely to get permission, a smile and a detailed brief of each plant.

Find other ideas in books and magazines, a source not only for photographs relevant planning guidance and in-depth but the crucial assistance in the identification of each plant for your climate zone and preferred level of maintenance.

No crowd these new plants

Each container plant nursery or favorite garden center has been granted a marker for identifying plant and offering suggestions for planting. Try these suggestions as gold. In particular the suggestions of separation. Namely, the three Blue Pfitzer junipers purchased by the server and distance of two feet apart in a bed of flowers with the label facing the space of 5-6 meters distance. My thoughts has been, but are so small. And they looked ridiculously small in the grand old flower bed empty. Then I pushed together and two years later I was digging up the plants environment and further out and two years later I was digging the three because they have collectively exceeded the flower bed. I threw'em on the ground along the fence there now trying to lower the fence.

Here are some words to say: The plants grow. Some plants thrive. The space plants accordingly from the beginning.

Remember, you still cut

Unless your project requires a bush or a flower on every square foot of your yard, remember that the grass needs maintenance. One of the first mistakes I made was not to allow ease of cutting the lawn. I put down tree in the middle of the court, created a little too independent groups everything and anything, and beds of flowers in fashion which followed with a mower especially difficult. Soft green grass is a beautiful thing and I am a big fan. But remember that when planning the landscape at home, you want to mow the grass every week.

And the older you get the fun, unless it be the same time, do the limbo under the low branches of trees.
