By Aurthur Coleman


Everyone is trying to save a buck where they can these days. So why not attempt do it yourself landscaping? Really how hard can it be? STOP, back the backyard landscape truck up. There are a few things you need to know before you just dive right in. Otherwise you can wind up spending more money in costly mistakes and you would be better off just shelling out the big bucks to hire a pro.

In this article, I'm going to give you some landscape tips that should help and send you on your way to prepare the yard of your dreams.



Landscaping is quite vast and can be a little overwhelming at times. There's plantings, maintenance, laying sod, building patios and decks, even designing water features, just to name a few. There's no way to cover all the topics and options completely in just one sitting unless all you wanted to do is read about landscaping. And we both know you are not here to read you are here to landscape. So let me give you some simple landscape tips to get you started.

Have a specific plan of attack. If you have a large area to cover, take it one step at a time, and be sure to account for the all the space you have to work with. For instance, if you want to build an oasis in your backyard landscape, complete with a twenty foot waterfall, palm trees, lagoon, and an outer desert landscape, make sure you map it all out so that you know you have enough room for everything.

Tools are very important make sure you have the proper ones for the job you want to accomplish before you start. Each project has its own unique needs and requirements. You are not going to use a hammer to dig a hole (could you imagine)? If you do not know what you need, go to your local hardware store and tell them what you are doing they will help you.

Also plan your budget usually you can gauge the cost of the project by getting an estimate from a pro and than just subtracting the labor from his estimate. Since that's what you will be doing. Plus landscape books can be a great resource for landscape tips with great front and backyard landscaping ideas.
