Landscaping is much more than just putting plants into the ground.
With a little planning, your landscaping can enhance and complement your home, as well as provide aesthetic and functional pleasure. Landscaping includes more than the use of plant materials and, when integrated with other elements such as stone, wood, water and outdoor furnishings, will add to the value of the home. The landscape should be in harmony with the residence, the site and the surroundings. This means the plants used should be appropriate and in proportion to the size of your home and property. When selecting plants and trees, you need to imagine their size at maturity.
