Take note of important features of the current landscape. The next step is to consider your goals for the space. How do you plan to use the space and who do you intend to use the space with? Now begin adding items to the layout, staying in line with your goals as well as your home's exterior design. Plants are a crucial part of a landscape and you have plenty of options for size, color, and arrangement. If privacy is important to you, plant hedges and fences are two primary options.

Try to match the material and arrangement with the overall theme you're aiming for. With these tips and more from the video above, you'll be able to get started with designing your home's landscape. .
