Landscape design is the art and science of planning and creating outdoor spaces, including gardens, parks, and yards, to enhance the beauty and functionality of the environment.
Benefits include improved aesthetics, increased property value, enhanced outdoor living spaces, better environmental impact, and improved mental and physical well-being.
Consider the local climate, soil type, sunlight exposure, and maintenance requirements. Opt for native plants as they are typically more resilient and easier to maintain.
Use drought-tolerant plants, install rainwater harvesting systems, use permeable paving materials, and incorporate native plants to reduce water and maintenance needs.
Consider your lifestyle and needs, such as seating areas, dining spaces, play areas, and garden beds. Use pathways to connect different areas and ensure adequate lighting for safety and ambiance.
