Landscaping your garden can be an arduous process, depending on your garden type. Done correctly, you can renovate your very environment to bring together all of the things you love. Whether you include water features or paths or even a gazebo, you should try to create the garden you love. However, it's important to note that garden landscaping can be an expensive process as well as a time-consuming one, not to mention the aftercare you would need to provide to keep your garden not only alive, but blossoming all year round.
Clean Up
Some gardens may require a lot of work to create a blank slate for you to work on. Getting out the lawnmower would be a great idea, as tall grass is detrimental to navigating the garden and doesn't always fit what you might have in mind. Also try trimming back any trees that are crowding area and clearing out any refuse that might have built up. Garden tools would best be placed inside a shed or some other storage unit for later use so the end result is good.
The Design Phase
Long gardens might limit exactly what you have in mind. So try to adapt your plans and ideals for what your physical constraints are. For example, if you have a long, thin garden, a path leading to a secluded area, such as a sitting area in the shade near a pond, would be a wonderful plan. Plans should always take into consideration the needs of the people using it. Children would be best served with open areas for playing in, while water features that are deep could potentially be a danger to younger children. On the other hand, if children are not present, then these are not considerations that need noting.
Also check to see whether your plans are allowed by the local council, as trees or buildings that you erect may block neighbor's rights and lead to legal confrontations. Furthermore, piping beneath your garden could also prove to be a problem if they're where you want certain, deep-set features.
