Landscape Edging for your yard
Landscape edging is a permanent, hard material that supplies a crisp edge between areas of the garden. Edging plays important roles in the garden. Most well-designed gardens consist of a series of shapes and forms, each representing an area set aside for a different purpose, such as a vine-covered sitting area or a flower garden. Using landscape edging accentuates each garden area and defines the shape and form of the overall design.
Landscape Edging Uses

Use garden walls, low fences, and pathways. Short garden walls and pathways between plant beds provide structure by… Read more »
Landscaping Ideas – Locating Plants
Use a simple plant palette with fewer, hardier plants. Select 10–15 plants to use in large masses and repeat them throughout the yard. Repeating the same types of plants in several plant beds simplifies the maintenance with the same care requirements. Group plants with the same water needs, and use drip irrigation when possible to reduce water use throughout the garden. Slightly crowd plants together in the plant beds. Conventional planting techniques recommend spacing plants… Read more »
