Home landscaping does not just involve sticking plants into your vacant front or backyard and making it look “green”. Here are some do-it-yourself tips to landscape your lawn.

First, clear the general area that you will be designing and start from scratch. This will give you a better ‘canvass’ to work with. Then, sketch the general look that you would like to have for your garden. Make a list of the plants, trees and shrubs that you can plant. When deciding on the type of plants, make sure that there will be a plant which will flower or bloom for each season of the year – winter, spring, summer and fall.
