Thinking of landscaping our homes alone is already stressful. Aside from the fact that it can be costly. It also sounds difficult that we needed to go online for some tips or buy magazines for ideas to start with. We understand where you’re at. Here are 3 simple tips to help you!
1. Preparation
- Area – Clean and cultivate the area where you’re planting. Take out the stones and other things that might stunt your plants’ growth. Put some compost to make the soil healthy.
- Plants – Decide what plants are you using ahead of time. Think of colors, tones and sizes that will altogether suit your theme.
- Tools – You might need more than the simple digging tools. Your plan might include hammering, cutting, etc. Look at your area and prepare what tools you might need.
- Accents – This could mean rocks, wood, steel, paint, peebles, lights, bricks, etc.
2. Planting
- Layer – As you plant, apply some layering to it. A rock might be in the center, one medium size plant on the left surrounded by smaller ones. Don’t just plant all at the same time in one line with the same sizes. Play around and let your creativity come to life.
- Tones and Colors – Make sure the color of your landscape is in unity. It might have contrasts but it should be adding beauty instead of messing the whole picturesque.
3. Maintenance
- Always water and fertilize.
- Always take out the weeds.
- Prune to shape when needed.
