  2. Having beautiful landscaping is something a lot of people want to achieve, not just dream of. It may look or sound easy to plant trees and shrubs and arrange rocks and decorative accents, but in reality it does take a lot of work and patience to get the look you want. Here then are things to avoid when you are tackling your own landscaping:

  3. Overcrowding. Things need room to grow. This means that you have to take note of the planting instructions that come with plants (annuals and perennials alike) so that you aren't choking them once they start to bloom. An overcrowded garden isn't a pleasant garden to look at or work in. Properly space all the plants. It's okay to have spaces in the spring when plants are small, they will grow and look wonderful come summer.

  4. Don't have your garden bloom all at once. Sure, it'll look nice for a month or so, but then what? Choose things that bloom at different times of the year so that you always have something making that landscaping beautiful. Mixing evergreens with annuals for example will give you a great looking space no matter the season. Bad curb appeal. Even if no one else can see it, you can and don't you want your green space to look nice? Take the time to plant things properly and plan the garden out so that you have optimal enjoyment of your space throughout the year. If you need to tweak the plans mid- planting that's okay too.

  5. Don't use too many ornamental touches. Nature is beautiful without it getting clogged up with a million decorative gnomes. Less is more and if you love everything you own you can switch them up throughout the season to have a different look all the time. Don't spoil the view or take away from your hard work with gaudy accents. Don't crowd your garden with too much colour. Choose two colours and go with that. You can always change your mind with annuals the next year and go with two different colours. This makes it all look 'meant to be' and uncluttered. Don't forget accent lighting. If you can't see it at night as well, what's the point of planting it in the first place?
