Creating a landscaped area is more than planting a few trees, sowing some grass seed and putting some flowers in. Plant selection is one aspect but there is also soil condition, environment, compatibility between plants, maintenance and pest control to consider …
The next thing to ponder is what do you want from your finished landscaping area – is it a ‘care free option’, a full colour all year round option or an area designed to ‘go wild’ and look after itself
Remember to consider traffic flow around the area, visibility, shading and overhead issues with powerlines as well as underground issues with drains as the trees grow and plan for regular maintenance especially in extreme weather areas
You also need to consider ongoing maintenance and disposal options for plant debris, care in the warmer months ie water supply and drainage during the wetter months as well as different feeding requirements to keep plants at their best
You may also wish to incorporate structural aspects to your landscaped area including walls, paths, building structures and water features – remember to seek council permission and check underground cables/drains before undertaking any of this type of work
