Designing a landscape or garden can be somewhat confusing if
you have never done it before. Fortunately, the professional landscape
designers in Mt Joy at Root's Nurseries have a few suggestions on what to consider.
And if you have any questions or need more guidance, give us a call!
You should not try to mimic the formal gardens that you find
in fancy places like Buckingham Palace. Those types of gardens take
around-the-clock care and maintenance to look good and, even then, you cannot
account for slight differences in soil, nutrients and lighting. It is better to
aim for a sense of balance. Your plants and flowers do not have to match
exactly.
For example, you should find plants and flowers that have a
similar leaf shape or texture. Or you can find plants that are similar in color
or in height or width. Our landscape designers can help you select flowers and
plants that will look good together. Variety will also make your garden more
interesting to look at.
When you plant, consider planting flowers in groups instead
of in rows. Planting them in groups makes them more interesting to look at and
easier to care for and maintain.
Your garden should also have a focal point for every season
of the year. That way, even when the weather is cold out, there is still
something pretty to look at in your garden. And you can sit outside and enjoy
your garden and landscaping on mild winter days when the temperatures are not
too cold and the weather isn't too bad.
When planted correctly, flowers and plants can really
enhance the look of your home and its curb appeal. You can soften sharp edges and
make your home more interesting and beautiful to look at.
