Landscaping Design Tips

Designing a landscape can be exciting. It's a time for you to really show off your personality, and can be a way to really show off your creativity and style. All around St Paul, landscaping can be used to brighten up yards. If you are new to landscaping, Fernbrook Landscape is here to help.  In this blog, we're going to provide you with some basic information to get you started with planning your landscape. Of course, we will be able you with the final design and implementation of your new landscape.

Keep it Simple
The number one rule of thumb is to keep it simple. The simpler you keep your plan, the easier it will be to implement. Choose only a few colors for your new landscaping. It is easier to match different plants and shrubs if you have a limited color scheme. Sometimes, less is more. You don't want the end result to look cluttered. Plan out the use of landscaping elements sparingly, because you can always add more at a later date.

Proportions
It is important to keep the proportions of your project in mind when you’re planning out your landscape. You don't want to plan one small feature in the middle of a large yard. By the same token, you don't want to overcrowd a small yard with larger, flowering plants either. Also, keep in mind that plants grow up. Just because they look like they will fit into your plan now, doesn't mean in 10 or 15 years they will still be that size. Our team of St Paul landscaping experts can help you envision the final product.
