Planning Your Outdoor Landscaping

If you have just decided to start your outdoor landscaping, make sure you put lots of planning and thought into the process.
You cannot change your mind after you have already planted all your trees and shrubs.
Another important aspect to keep in mind is the storage area for all your outdoor equipment, such as a shed, or patio.
If you are redesigning your whole garden it would be a shame to create such a beautiful atmosphere, with a large, ugly tin box in the corner, so try to incorporate this as part of your design overhaul.
When a small shed you need to be able to access the item in it quite easily, however, you will want it out of the way, so it doesn't become an eyesore, to you, or your neighbours.
This means you will need to work out your landscaping layout when you plan your gardens.
When planning your landscaping, you also need to consider the different types of shrubs and foliage you can use, and where they can be situated through your gardens.
Try to use local varieties of plants, which will be better suited to your environment, and will have a much better chance of survival.
You will also need o think about different layers of plants, as some bushes requires lots of sunlight, while plants which flower frequently, often require smaller amounts of sunlight and frequent access to shade.
You will also need to think about how your garden might look in a few years time, so make sure to plan ahead.
It may not be possible for you to complete the project in one weekend, so you can plan on spreading out planting, building and buying of all your equipments and plants.
There are many options you can use when thinking about your storage area.
A local handyman, or DIY project could involve buying all the materials yourself, and building your own, to suit your garden, or it may just be easier to by a pre-built model.
These days most come in a variety of colours and sizes that are easy to assemble and will fit in well with your existing plans, and are quite often much cheaper in the long run than trying to build your own.
