Landscape design
Creating a comfortable living area in your yard requires careful thought and planning. View your front yard or back yard from inside your home first as if you where looking at a landscape portrait. Now you can decide on how it should look when it is finished and matured.
Always design your landscaping as a finished mature project that you can visualize how it will look 5 years from now. If you don't what happens is the plants and trees that you have carefully selected will end up having to be moved to other areas. It creates more work that most us would rather not do.
Walk around inside your home and look at your wall colors, style of furniture and the architecture of entryways. What you are doing is looking for a common theme that blends with how your home looks from the outside. Now go to the biggest window that overlooks your backyard and try to visualize how you would like this to look. You want to view this area through a window, like you are viewing art or a landscape painting. As you where walking through your home you got a sense of what style you like and now you want this style to be projected outdoors so that your decorating theme extends to the outdoors as a smooth transition.
