2. Landscaping your yard is a "work-in-progress", you need to be patient and wait for your efforts to show. A garden grows out and develops into a beautiful landscape provided you plan it well.
3. With the help of your local landscaping and garden suppliers try to figure out which plants and trees are best suited to your yard. Plan how you would like your flower beds to grow and provide a contrast and add balance to your yard.
4. Modern day landscaping trend is a toned down approach where the landscape is created such that it requires little maintenance. If you have a small yard, you might want to create an effect of greenery while also considering the privacy issue. Small leafy trees and shrubs planted by the side of a picket fence bordering the roadside works well in such areas.
5. If you have a large yard, landscaping it can be a challenge. Depending on the availability of space and your budget, you can plan on various things that will give your garden a stunning look. Put up a deck or patio and create a green space around it. Or, set up a pergola in the centre, making it the focal point of your garden.
6. If you are good with tools and like do-it-yourself projects, go ahead and get the materials necessary for landscaping your yard. If not, you can always hire professional landscape designers who can design a beautiful yard within your budget.
7. Rocks and stones are the most versatile materials used to landscape your yard. Laying beach pebbles or river rocks gives a great feel to the landscape. Flat stones can be used to pave pathways in your yard or a stone wall can be built to demarcate a patio area or at the base of a tree to create an attractive stone seating.
