No other feature can generate curb appeal quite like a successful residential landscaping project. With structured planning, the right selection of plants, and a little elbow grease, you can transform a drab landscape into a lush oasis.

Follow these three tips to attain the most attractive lawn and garden on the block:

  • Track the Sun: Before you break out the shovel, study the amount of sunlight that reaches each area of your yard. If you can determine which zones get less direct light because your house or trees block the sun’s rays, you can avoid them when planting your garden.
  • Residential LandscapingSketch It: Along with tracking sunlight, envision a layout for your landscaping efforts. Sketch out where you want each plant to go. Consider the color of each plant’s leaves and flowers, and ask yourself whether those hues will clash with the colors of your house or other plants. You don’t have to be an artist to create useful sketches for a residential landscaping project.
  • Unleash Your Creativity: There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all landscape design strategy. Feel free to choose the style, colors, and plants you like best—as long as those plants can thrive in your local climate. If you’re having a hard time getting inspired, use online resources like Pinterest to get your creative juices flowing. You can also bounce ideas around with a local garden center associate.
