When you are landscaping your yard there are many factors to take in to consideration. Landscaping is such a important element because it frames a house, just like a good painting. Most individuals do not know that a nice landscaped yard can add around 5% to 25% to your value of your house. A nicely landscaped house also has curb appeal that will get a buyer to stop and look. The American Society of Landscape Architects recommends that homeowners spend approximately 10 percent of the value of their home on landscaping. Important of Landscape Design
Landscape Design - Identify Areas
Front Yard Landscape Design: The front yard landscape design should frame your house and point people to the front door and say welcome. It should say a statement and it should look good all year. This mean using mostly evergreens or deciduous plants with interesting winter color. Trees or large shrubs on either side of the house frames your house. A large rounded shrub at the corner of the house will soften the vertical line of a tall house. A great way to draw attention to the front door is to have the tallest shrubs at the corner of the house and the lowest shrubs next to the door. A large pot of blooming flowers always say welcome to your guest at the front door. Back Yard Landscape Design: The back yard is for relaxation and play. A fence or a tall hedge can be used to create privacy. Walks, decks, pools and retaining walls should be build first. Consider the viewpoint from one point, such as a window or deck. You will want your landscape designed so everything is visible from that point. A moving viewpoint makes a more interesting landscape design. A curving sidewalk or pathway that goes around a corner will arouse the viewer curiosity and draw them into the landscaping. You should rewarded the viewer with a attractive plant or a feature. A secret garden with a bench or a water feature would be great in this area. Choosing a style for your Landscape DesignChoosing a style helps make all the elements flow together.
