Technology Makes Landscaping Easier Than Ever
Making Your Home Look Like New With These Landscaping Renovation Projects
Jose Wheeler
There are many different renovations that can improve your home and its value. Some of the projects to consider involve the exterior of your home, not just the building itself, but the landscaping around your home too. With landscaping renovations, you can make your home look attractive and new:
1. Cleaning Up Crowded and Cluttered Plants in Your Yard
The clutter collects in landscaping over the years, and it is not just junk. If there are areas of your yard that you let grow wild, plants and debris will take over. The first part of your renovations should be cleaning up any of these overgrown areas. Remove overgrowth, wild trees and other debris. If there is a dense wooded area, cut small shrubs and trees that are crowding other growth.
2. Add Elegant Exterior Features That Blend with Natural Stone Hardscaping
Exterior features in your landscaping are another great improvement to make. Hardscaping will provide a solution for terrain, creating different areas and themes for landscaping design. Hardscaping includes features like paths, retaining walls and structures that you add to the landscaping. If you want to have a more natural look for your garden to blend in with the surroundings, use natural stone materials for these hardscaping features. Stone can even be used to create rock retaining walls that look like they were meant to be there.
3. Garden Designs to Reduce Maintenance and Create a Modern Look
The maintenance of your landscaping is time consuming and costly. Even if you do all the maintenance yourself, you need to have tools and materials. Minimizing the maintenance needs of landscaping is a great way to reduce these problems. Consider using plants that need little care and water. Inanimate materials like stone can also be used. Designs that include a rock garden will also be an attractive addition to your landscaping. Try to use plants that are native to your region, which will need no care and survive on their own. This minimal design will not only reduce maintenance costs, but will also give your landscaping a more modern, clean design that adds value to your home.

When I was young, I loved helping my mother in the garden. Our yard was filled with plants and flowers that she kept in immaculate condition. Once I was an adult and bought my first home, I learned that there was much more to landscaping a yard than I ever imagined! After a little trial and error planting a few flowers in my yard that died quickly, I realized the technology that is available to aspiring gardeners makes trial and error a thing of the past. After I found out what my "hardiness zone" was, I realized I was planting flowers made for much cooler climates, and I played around with software that let me design my yard very easily! I learned a lot throughout the experience, so I thought I would share my tips with everyone who needs them. Come back often to check out my new tips!
