Thinking of Doing Your Own Landscaping?
If you are not in a financial position to hire the services of a professional landscaper, why not try a few of the simple tips of Advanced Ground Control in the meantime?
What Do You Want and Need?
Are you wanting a peaceful oasis that you can kick back and enjoy a good book, or somewhere that your children can play in safety? May you want to grow your favorite vegetables and herbs to use for cooking? To resolve this uncertainty, why not draw up a list of your needs and a rough sketch of how you would like everything to co-exist together, and use this as your starting point.
Assessing Your Yard
Now, you will need to assess your yard. How the wind hits it, what is the path of the sun throughout the day? Create sitting areas that are out of the prevailing winds or block and direct winds with well-placed shrubs and trees. Find the sunniest spots and evaluate where the best places are to plant trees.
Live In It
Live in the space first, that does not mean pitching up a tent and camping. No, try sitting in your yard for a few hours, and move your chair around and find a different place each day to sit in. This will give you a better vantage point on which are the focal points and how these interact with your home. How do any pre-existing paths work with your design.
Keeping it Simple
The simplest answer is often the best solution, and this can be applied to your landscaping. Your final decision does not have to be overly complicated, just include the things that matter the most to you. Start small with the framework, as this allows you to move easily from inside of your beds of flowers, veggie plot, or patio.
