Landscaping – Add More Value to Your Proerty

Garden landscaping is not as easy as it sounds. Landscaping is a serious practice and do it yourself landscaping is not advisable when the value of your home is at stake. Some appraisers say as much as 10-20% more could be added to the value of a property if the landscaping is impressive
If you are determined to such a task, the next step is to draw a sketch of your property and mark areas where you need landscaping. It's also good to keep in mind the amount of money you are willing to stick into your venture.
Some basic point to remember while landscaping
Unity - The idea of unity means that everything works together. It applied to colors, shapes, heights and every other aspect of the design. Using consistency and repetition is a great way to ensure unity.
Simplicity - Simplicity does not have to mean the design is limited. It means the design should be limited in different color shades, types of plants and also keeping the design looking clean. An overwhelming design is confusing to the eye. This is especially true if working with a large area. Having too many things going on creates chaos.
Balance - Balance is simply keeping the design proportions equal throughout. One side should not be full and the other scarce. Balance includes colors and heights, in addition to the overall look of the landscaping.
Focalization - This simply means the design should have some central element that catches the eye. Some landscapers use a special tree or bush, while others use things like fountains and statues. In a large scale landscaping design the focal point may be a garden.
