A beautiful yard is a treat to the eyes. Remember the four seasons and plant so each season has its own special design. Plants should have their own space in your yard.

The front yard will look bigger if you plant flower beds on a diagonal from the far corner of the house.
If you plant trees in front of the picture window your yard will look shortened.
If there are large areas full of mature junipers, you can do topiary work on them and leave a decorative border.
By planting broad-leaf evergreens and perennial beds, you will have all season decorative garden.
Plant bright colored plants near your home and soft colored plants at a distance so there will be depth in the yard.
Do not plant trees with huge root systems close to the house as it can cause a lot of damage to your home.
Make sure you keep your lawn well fertilized and use moss killer.
