Have you been dreaming about landscaping your front and back yard? For most people, they don’t even know where to begin. After all, this is why landscape architects are hired in the first place. Some people truly have a talented eye for yard design, or they have gone to school in order to earn a degree on the subject. Even if this is your first time tackling landscaping, you can totally learn a thing or two on your own. In this list, we will give you 50 ideas on landscaping both your front and backyard.
55. Before You Get Started, Make a Plan
Browsing through landscaping photos online might give you good ideas, but it doesn’t mean anything until you set a plan in motion. Before you dive into a project, make a sketch of your backyard that includes the measurements. Calculate your budget, and figure out what you can afford to do each year. Also decide which projects make the most sense in the order in sequence. For example, you might not be able to start a project until a few trees are cut down, and their stumps are ground up. This alone will cost hundreds of dollars, and it may eat up your entire budget. There is no shame in taking a few years to landscaping your dream garden. Just keep projects going according to plan.
