Proper Planning for Your Landscaping Project

Landscaping can improve the exterior of your property dramatically. Taking the time to determine what you want your landscaping to look like is a very important step. Here are some things you should keep in mind before starting your landscaping project:

  • Planning your design – start planning where you want to put all of your plants, how many you need and what types you want in your landscaping. Then go to your local garden centers to ask for recommendations for each of the plants.
  • Size of plants – make sure your plants have enough space to grow so that it will still be looking great five years from now.
  • Depth of plants – do not install your plants too deep. Plants must have the ability to transfer oxygen to the root system.
  • Quality of topsoil – use quality topsoil for long lasting results. Although good topsoil is very expensive, it is the most important piece of your project. You can always add more plants to your landscaping, but adding more topsoil after the installation process will cost you even more money and unnecessary work.
  • Fertilizer – do not fertilize your plants. If you have raised your plants with good rich topsoil, your plants should be fine without them.
  • Plastic or weed barrier cloths – don’t waste your money putting these in because they are ineffective. Weeds end up growing on top of the barriers while the roots grow through them.
  • Trees – the garden should be near the home and away from trees. Having your plants grow around trees can be very damaging as tree roots will use up all of the water provided.
  • Location of garden – try moving your garden to different locations every 10 years or so to lower the likelihood of diseases.
  • Restrictions – make sure your landscaping ideas do not violate any local rules and regulations.
