It’s summertime and what better way to ensure your home look its best for those late night parties than new landscaping. New bushes and flowers not only look great, but they enhance your home’s curb appeal that’ll make all of your neighbors jealous. There are many ways you can start this weekend project, so let us give you a few tips on what you should and should not do when it comes to your landscape.
Do’s and Don’ts on landscape design:
- First things first, don’t just let your landscape go. Doing nothing is a mistake because plants, trees, and shrubs take time to grow. Just because you may not need them now doesn’t mean you won’t need them in the future. A tree is one thing you’ll wish you had when you need a break from the scorching hot sun.
- Do your research. You don’t want to pick plants and shrubs based on their price. You will want to take time to research specific plants to see how much care they will need from you. Do they need to be trimmed or watered? Is that work you are willing to put in once you’ve completed the design? There are a lot of factors to think about before buying these items that
will make up your landscaping besides the price. - Will your landscape design be easy to mow? It may look nice, but are you willing to take extra time to cut between the zig-zags and the rounded parts of your design? If not, you may want to reconsider your design before it’s too late.
- Are your plants and shrubs positioned for growth? If you know that the things you are buying are going to grow, be sure to leave adequate space for these plants and bushes to blossom to their utmost potential.
- Have you considered the sun? If your plants and shrubs require more sunlight than others be sure to position them around your house in a way that they will receive the most sunlight. Take time and watch the position of the sun on your house before planting to ensure that these beautiful flowers and shrubs that you spent quite of bit of money on won’t die due to too much sun or not enough.
