The basics of landscaping-yards starts with your own wants. What do you want in your yard?

More than likely you've already started planning in your mind what you'd like to do with your front yard landscaping or your backyard landscaping.

Now, start thinking about the functionality of your yard. How will your yard be used?

Where will your outdoor gathering area be? Maybe you would like to have a fire place or fire pit. It's sure to be the gathering place on saturday nights

Patios make great conversational areas. Creating a court yard patio with a wall fountain provides a subtle sound of water and privacy while still being able to enjoy the surroundings.

Maybe you enjoy flower gardens. Perhaps you should plan an area to enjoy the colorful peace and quiet that a flower garden gives, couple that with a patio to sit and relax while enjoying the sweet smells and beautiful colors associated with the flower garden

Where will you place lawn and how do you access your house? Do you need fencing of some sort? Also consider whether or not a fence or retention wall may give you more usable space.

Lighting is an excellent way to display your landscaping. It also gives and indirect light to the surrounding plants and surfaces at night. It's what I like to call the romantic glow.
