1. Mix Materials: <\/strong>choose to use \u201chardscapes\u201d or rather non-plant materials to mix up the level of interest in an area.

When you use a mixture of materials in combination with repetitive patterns, you create delightful contrasts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   1. Double Duty Plants: <\/strong>another very easy and simple landscaping design option often used in limited spaces. Choose plants that can serve more than one purpose. For instance, many trees can be used as an attractive backdrop to a \u201crest\u201d area but may also be used as a privacy tool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Although the above landscaping design tips are just a few techniques that can be used out of countless, they are a great way to get started. The number one thing to remember is to have fun and to choose flowers, trees, and non-plant materials that pests and animals are not attracted to. If you live in an area where there are a lot of deer, choose to employ flowers and bushes that they won\u2019t want to eat. With this said, regardless of whether you are just increasing curb appeal, infusing more value into the property, or are genuinely about creating a relaxing space, keep the techniques simple and don\u2019t be afraid to experiment with them!<\/p>\n
