Perhaps you've bought a new house or just want to spruce up the yard you've already owned for years. Either way, you should be smart about your landscape design. Making the right choices can make your yard the envy of the neighborhood.

Make sure you have all your goals in place. What is the purpose of your landscape design? Do you want lots of trees for shade or do you want a large field for children to play on? Have a firm idea of what you want, because changing your mind in the middle of a project can cause a lot of headaches.
Before you get started, you should draw out a plan of your property that is to scale. Make sure to draw in what is already on your property and what you aspire to add. Make sure to use tracing paper or make copies as you add elements to your design so you can go back to earlier copies if you change your mind about something.
Finally, figure out whether you're going to make landscaping a DIY project or a job for professionals. Working on the project yourself will save a lot of money, but letting the professionals do the job will save a lot of time and may leave you with a higher-quality product. Do careful research and seek advice from experts before you make your decision.
