Are you thinking it’s time for a change in your yard and you might need a new landscape plan? Tired of the same flower beds and shrubs? Perhaps it’s time for change; a plan that can be created by you or a professional service.
If you select the route of doing it yourself there are some important tips you should follow in creating a landscape plan. HGTV.com has a great list of recommendations and here are a few of our favorites:
Plan for Equipment Access:
“At some point in the life of your home, you will be faced with a project or repair that requires some loud, monstrous machine to get into your backyard. Plan for it in advance, or be faced with having to tear out some of your precious plantings.”
Add Movement:
“A landscape without movement is like a painting. Paintings are fine for hanging on a wall, but a garden needs movement to add life and interest. No garden is complete without some ornamental grasses to sway in the breeze. Add flowers to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and several berry producers for the birds.”
Taking Nothing for Granted:
“When you live in a place for a while, you tend to accept existing features as obstacles, sometimes without completely noticing them. Rather than designing around the overgrown shrubbery, established trees, or worn-out deck, consider removing them. You may discover new possibilities, such as a sunny spot for a vegetable garden or rose bed.”
