Thinking of adding onto the landscape of you home? Designing your own garden gives you a great chance to personalize the outside of your house and really make it feel like your home.

Garden Space

Picking a space for your garden is obviously important. You have an idea of what you want to put where when you start to think about a new landscape. Well there are a few ideas to keep in mind when planning out this space.
  • How big are the plants. Not how big are they now, but how big will they be in the future. A plant could grow into power lines, into roofs, through fences or into other plants.
  • Trees that have large root systems can break concrete. Please do not plant a tree that will damage your home as it grows.
  • Before you dig, call LA One Call if you live in Louisiana or your utility company if you live elsewhere. A simple call could save you both money and your life.

Amount of Light

Plants need to correct amount of light to flourish. Most plants purchased at a nursery or hardware store will have a light recommendation tag. They usually say one of the following: full shade, partial shade, partial sun, or full sun. Below are what these terms mean.
  • Areas that get three hours or less direct sun a day would be considered full shade.
  • Areas that get between three to six hours of direct sun a day are considered prarial sun or partial shade.
  • Areas with more than six hours of direct sunlight are considered full sun.

Landscape Plants

Picking the plant for your garden is probably the funnest part of designing a garden. You can let your imagination go as far as you would like. There are a few bits of information to keep in mind when picking your plants.
  • Pick the right plant for your area. What does well in Arizona may not do so well here. Normally, stores only sell plants that will do well in your area, so it shouldn't be too hard to do. One thing to look out for is when stores have flowers and plants at a large discount. Usually this is a sign that the plant will be out of season soon and will loose its blooms.
  • Place fragrant plants near walk ways or doors. It would be a waste if you had a lovely smelling plant in the back of your garden.
  • Be cautious of fast growing plants, especially ground cover. If left alone, it will overrun your garden, yard and possible your home.

Garden Soil

The garden soil for your new landscaping is what will help your shrubs and trees to grow strong. The best thing to do is have a soil test done. You can either get a soil test kit at the hardware store, nursery or local college. A soil test will tell you what your soil needs to keep your plant healthy. We recommend adding fresh soil to your existing soil for any new landscape project.
