1 Do not think over landscape design
Before starting garden work, consider the layout of the site or hire a landscape designer who will help you do everything right.
It is necessary to plan not only the location of the flowering and trees, but also the location of the plants, depending on the time of flowering - otherwise there may be holes at some point. Pay attention to the flowers that bloom all summer (in the peak of the summer season) - they will save you from random misses with the choice of plants.
Also do not forget about the zoning of the site. You may be surprised, but even on several acres you can equip the recreation area, and in addition to the fence there are many more ways to make a private area.
2 Do not take into account the features of the area
What grows well in the southern regions may not fit in the middle lane. In addition, it is worth considering the characteristics of the soil, the location of the site and a specific flower beds. In order to simplify the task as much as possible, choose the most unpretentious flowers (we counted more than 20 species!).
If you live in the south, look at winter-hardy plants so that you do not have to update the plot every season.
3 Forget about pests
Most different representatives of the fauna can spoil the appearance of your garden. Learn in advance who is able to disturb you and how to cope with them. We have already told how to deal with birds, crumbs and other pests in the country area.
4 plant trees too close to buildings
If you do not want the branches of the walls and climbed into the windows, put trees at a distance of a pair of meters from the house.
By the way, in addition to purely domestic inconveniences, trees can significantly harm the house - their roots are able to damage the foundation, and the branches are roof.
5 Do not care for lawn
Lack of watering, aerations, improper care threaten to your lawn with dry grass, carriers and pests. Be sure to learn the rules for the care of a lawn and do not forget that some problems are fairly easy to fix - for example, you can put the grass on the green lawn.
6 Neglect accuracy
The little things often solve everything. Do not forget to imagine bushes, trim the branches of trees and fight weeds. These simple actions will make the plot look perfect.
