What Landscaping Design Should Not Be

By Sandra Ellis


True blood homemakers never give up on having one idea after another about improving the look of their homes. Whether it is getting a new furniture to make the living room more cozy, or repainting the fence, they are unstoppable. That does not save the garden or the exterior from being overlooked though.

Suddenly, you toy with the idea about making your garden and the whole thing outside, even more appealing. Sometimes though, you are one of those who never tackled landscaping design Sacramento CA before. And if you are, then you will be surprised at so many choices and ideas you can work with, to make your house look even more beautiful outside.

The thing is, you have to carefully think about it, so that you do not end up wasting your time and money. Ask yourself first if you can commit to a budget that it will demand. Set one that is realistic. A two hundred to five hundred dollar range would not do.

Whether you do it intentionally or not, that is where it would lead to, at the end of the day. Try to begin by studying the wind and sun patterns. Familiarize yourself with how the temperature and weather would be like, most of the time, at a certain time of year. You can experiment and watch out for it, even if the weather have a habit of taking everybody by surprise.

Next thing you know, the month of April gets drunk with a load full of snow in your backyard and your landscape goals get buried in it. You can place a patio somewhere on the west side of your house. You will realize it gets so much of the afternoon sun, which means August dinnertime will be hot and not relaxing.

Your design then, should consider how the sun and the wind would be, during different seasons. Consider your budget for it. Do not go on aiming for a design or a landscape that goes well beyond what you can afford to have. While something like this do not demand what you will be spending for a car, like an investment, it still does not come cheap.

Just think about the equipment you would need, like plants of different kinds, hard scape material and everything else that a front lawn or yard would demand. These things does not come cheap when added up together. Otherwise you would not have much of a landscape if you make do with what would turn out to be not enough for it.

Do not go for formal landscaping. That is not your goal. Leave it to the rich and famous. It is one of the most demanding to create and the upkeep could be such an effort for anybody, even the best artists or architects. Symmetry, which is very important, would be difficult to maintain.

Projects like that when starting little, would not hurt your pocket. Weekends will be more fun for you if that is when you will continue the work. After which, you can appreciate your landscape, every time you finish some work on it, little by little. It can be a work of art, simply by going at it, one step at a time, which would be easier for any homemaker.
