In addition to pro- viding a decorative touch, they also fulfil functional purposes by providing shade and privacy. Landscaping can be as - complex or as simple as you wish, but simpler is generally better. A well- landscaped property doesn't always require a great deal of maintenance. The amount of upkeep depends on the types of materials you use. For in- stance, gravel and wood chips are very popular mulch materials because they help keep the weeds at bay and provide an attrac- tive "floor" for shrub beds. Talk to your local garden- ing centre or a lanscaping professional to see what types of plants and trees would be best for your soil type and needs. You may also want to consult a land- scape architect and land- scaping contractors, depen- ding on the size of your job. There are also many resource books available in bookstores and libraries that you may want to con- sult. The photographs in these books present many innovative ideas that may be just right for your par- ticular situation. You should also take photographs of landscaping that you like and clip any helpful articles and pictures from newspapers for future reference. Realize too, that you don't have to landscape the entire 'property at once; it can be done in stages over the course of a few years. But no matter how big or small your particular project might be, take the time to plan it effectively before go- ing off on a buying spree at your local garden centre. Before putting your plans to paper, take a walk around your property several times and observe it from different angles. Decide what areas you want to highlight and what types of things you want to camouflage.
