Any plot of land has many characteristics which work together.
These must be taken into account as you make plans for your landscape, even if your space is not very large. For a residential site, you may not have skyscrapers, fierce traffic and heavy pollution to contend with. Depending on where you live, though, desert conditions, existing plants, lots of shade, or even sea spray may need to be factored in to your site planning. For instance, if your heart is set on including your favorite rose bush, you may be disappointed to find that your entire yard is densely shaded. Brainstorm, sit in your yard, walk around, and come up with the variables that make your yard unique.
