Landscaping Guide for Beginners

By Luis Rham


In landscaping your home, you can have a small patio fitted into the front of the house where it will make for the perfect place to relax with a cup of chilled ice tea on a hot sunny day.

A plant that is well adapted to dry and hot climates and makes a good landscape plant is the Longwood blue bluebeard, a deciduous plant that grows between three and four feet and has a width of about two feet; it does not need much water to survive.

Chicago is a place where the weather varies and is basically unpredictable; therefore, if you are a resident of this state and you desire to landscape your garden, you should consult a professional about the best types of plants to include in your garden that will flourish in spite of climatic changes.

Even if you hire a professional to do your landscape project for you, bear in mind that maintenance must be a responsibility you should accept and to that effect, landscaping tools such as rakes, snipers, and water pots should be in your tool shed.

Do you have fertilizer in your tool shed? A hoe? A rake? How about plant cleaning products? If your answer to most of the questions above is yes, then, you are in possession of a few landscaping tools.

Remember that landscape contractors vary in factors such as their style of landscaping, the size, the designs and other factors; make sure you find one whose style of landscape design dovetails neatly with yours.

For landscaping to be a total success, your property has to be evaluated in terms of the level, slope, drainage, and predominant weather.

If your house is one of those homely wooden buildings, you may want to entertain the thought of including wood chips when landscaping your home to provide harmony.

People who are lovers of bird and butterflies can use their landscape plan as an avenue to attract them close by including flower varieties that they are partial too.

You can have an arrangement of potted flowers and plants lined up on the winding path to your front door to welcome anyone coming in to see you.

If you are thinking of doing your landscape by yourself, be sure that you have the right landscaping tools that will make your job easier; those that are too pricey can be rented for a period of time.

A wonderful plant that serves as a great boarder in landscaping is the sage plant which also serves as an effective herbal remedy for certain ailments.

It is a known fact that Chicago landscapers are open to suggestions about landscaping ideas and are keen on experimenting; so if you are a Chicago resident in need of landscape plan, hire a contractor who has an extensive range of ideas.
