What Looks Good?
The first question people ask themselves
before undertaking any landscaping project is
"what looks good?" The answer is whatever
you think looks good! One of the first steps
you can take is to drive around your local
neighborhood and find some landscaping you
like. Note things like:

  • What shape the beds are
  • Size of the landscaping
  • Where the landscaping is located on the
    property
Another good idea is purchase a magazine
such as
Better Homes and Gardens and see if
you find anything you like. On the next page
we'll look at another major element in
landscaping: symmetry.
