Bringing life to a dull space of land, plants, rocks, and trees is an exciting task to do, but such an overwhelming task may result in common landscaping mistakes like the following: Incorrect lighting choices for day and night settings. Too many ornaments. Ignoring natural changes brought by the environment. Disregarding seasonal changes. Color mismatch/overload. Planting a tree too close to your house. Overspending due to Ad Hoc planting. Irregular garden maintenance schedules. Mismatched and unflattering design with your home.
