Courtyard tree

• What is the size of your front yard?


• Is your yard flat or on a hill?


• Do you want a courtyard?


• Do you want a water feature in the front?


• What kind of bushes and trees do you want?


• Do you want perenials or annuals?


• Do you want a rose garden?


• Do you want berms or flat ground?


• Where do you want your walkways or sidewalks?


• Are you going to have an automatic sprinkling system?

Then make a plan based upon your answers.

Be sure to include areas where

• lawn will be planted,
• trees and bushes you want,
• entry placement, etc.
• decide where you want your
  • trees,
  • bushes,
  • flower gardens,
  • patio,
  • courtyard, etc.
  and draw up your plan indicating each item showing where you want them placed.

  Perhaps you'll want some bushes like this beautiful blooming forsythia bush. What an eyecatcher this is.
  
  
  
  

  If your ground is untouched with no landscaping yet, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your flower beds including the drip line watering system
  
  
  2. Plan for your water coverage throughout the front lawn
  
  
  3. Then put in the deeper irrigation system for the lawn
  
  
  4. Include a timer which will cycle automatically throughout the week
  
  
  5. Now is the time to put down curbing
  
  
  6. Put your pavers or cement down
  
  
  7. Lay sod or seed
  
  

  
  
  

  If you have an irrigation system it will make your days of waiting for your yard to mature more enjoyable. Regardless, you will enjoy watching it day by day.
  
  
  
  Plan, plan, plan and then make it happen. The fun of it all is seeing your plans take shape.
