Landscaping Give Your Property The Facelift It
Requires!

• The term landscaping refers to the process of
  improving the beauty of ones surroundings for
  the sole purpose of beautifying the exteriors of
  a house. Landscaping is usually done by planting
  trees, bushes or by manipulating the contours of
  a garden. Homeowners who have a basic sense of
  aesthetics and can come up with landscaping
  design ideas usually handle the exteriors
  themselves while those who do not have an eye for
  beauty can entrust the task to professionals.

If you intend to undertake landscaping for making
a style statement then you will have to do some
research. Study the prevailing styles available
from various books available on the subject and
choose one that fits your budget and space.
Before implementing your garden design ideas
decide whether you want to undertake landscaping
for your own self or for converting your home
into a showpiece.  Consult your family members
if you want to go for the former. Make sure you
incorporate their suggestions and feedback in the
landscaping process. That way the whole family
will feel comfortable in the landscaped area and
your money will be well spent.

Tips for new gardeners

• Set aside a certain budget for the task and stick
  to it and ensure that you dont overshoot it. You
  will feel satisfied and feel that you have got
  value for your money if all the work is done as
  desired and within budget. Choose plants that
  bear flowers all round the year or else go for
  regular rotation of seasonal flowers. That way
  you can avoid the possibility of having barren
  pockets during certain times of the year.

• Grow as many hedges (shrubs) along the boundary
  of your garden as they help provide a certain
  degree of privacy to your house. Accessories in a
  lawn help enhance its beauty. A beautifully
  designed wrought iron chair in the middle of a
  lawn can become its focal point and similar
  effect is achieved by a water fountain or a
  statue in the middle of the lawn.
• No landscaping effort will be complete without
  having a surface of lush green grass .This grass
  should be regularly watered and trimmed to give
  the surface a smooth feel and make it comfortable
  for the users.

Landscaping Makes Sound Business Sense!

• Seasoned property investors will tell you that a
  property that makes an awesome first impression
  often gets the price it deserves. Most home
  buyers have already seen numerous homes before
  they reach your property. And a property with
  perfectly landscaped gardens, lovely kitchen and
  bathrooms and most of all good tenants or
  occupants in it who have taken care to preserve
  the property will definitely fetch a higher
  price as compared to vacant, neglected properties
  of the same size and age of construction.
• Its about how much you love your property and
  the thoughtfulness that converts a house into a
  home. Anyone can buy a house, but it takes far
  greater effort coupled with time that makes it a
  home. Try these ideas out and tell us what you
  feel about landscaping.
