Incorporating great landscape design ideas when landscaping-yards
The basics of landscaping-yards starts with your own wants. What do you want in your yard?
More than likely you've already started planning in your mind what you'd like to do with your
front yard landscaping or your
backyard landscaping.
Now, start thinking about the functionality of your yard. How will your yard be used?
Where will your outdoor gathering area be? Maybe you would like to have a fire place or fire pit. It's sure to be the gathering place on saturday nights

Maybe you enjoy flower gardens. Perhaps you should plan an area to enjoy the colorful peace and quiet that a flower garden gives, couple that with a patio to sit and relax while enjoying the sweet smells and beautiful colors associated with the flower garden
Where will you place lawn and how do you access your house? Do you need fencing of some sort? Also consider whether or not a fence or retention wall may give you more usable space.
You will need a design plan to get started in the right direction. Your ideas should be portrayed on the design.
Water features add personality and distinction to your yard. Such as a fountain, pool, bird bath, or pond-less stream. Brick paver patios add a soft feel to any area
You can create a unique environment in your landscaping that is a special retreat from the rest of the world.
Patios make great conversational areas. Creating a court yard patio with a wall fountain provides a subtle sound of water and privacy while still being able to enjoy the surroundings.

Retention Walls The curved retention wall above lessened the slope and enabled us to have more usable space around the house. It doesn't look half bad either.

Lighting is an excellent way to display your landscaping. It also gives and indirect light to the surrounding plants and surfaces at night. It's what I like to call the romantic glow.
