It all starts with how much space you have at the front or back where you want a landscaped look

to complement the style of your house. Always remember that any landscaping is an extension of

your house.

That considered, you can move on to thinking of the type of landscape. Here are a few ideas:

The overall layout can be flat, with well ordered and divided plots of grassy lawns intersected by

regular pavement and curb for the classic look. Add border hedges for the walkway with a

flowering shrub interspersed here and there for a neat, clean look.

Instead of straight lines and rectilinear approaches, adopt the flowing, wave look and this creates

an air of charm and warmth to the same space with a hedge of flowering shrubs lining your

house wall exteriors and a climbing, flowering vine here and there.

Before After

If you want something different, go for a rocky waterfall with a small rock pond, fringed by

small shrubs and a sloping grassy knoll in the near distance. This does require effort but when

you have a Temecula Landscape Contractor in charge of design and execution, everything can be

picture perfect.

Yet another idea is the minimalist Haiku approach of Japanese rock garden where each small

rock is selected carefully for its shape, color and texture and blended with the others to create a

small area of interest, possibly in a corner or smack in the middle of your garden.

Somehow, flat areas may look neat and well ordered but do have limited appeal. In this case, you

can consider an undulating landscape of grass dunes with shallows ending in small pools of

water or shrubbery. Start with small sizes at the entrance way and then you can gently raise the

height of each dune as the house approaches. A slope here and a slope there can also be a lot of

fun for kids since they love to roll down and play hide and seek.

Before After

If you have admired the terraced rice fields of South East Asia, the same look can be achieved in

your garden by a trusted Temecula Landscape contractor, using rich carpeted grass instead of

paddy and a profusion of flowering shrubs at several points.

If your house and surrounding areas are large enough you can even think of a castle and moat

idea, your house surrounded by a small water body populated by water lilies and gold fish and

grassy banks.

Anything is possible, from spare, grassy lawns and curbs with nothing much else to full bodied

gardens with blooms of every kind occupying each square yard. Think and get your landscaper to

translate it into reality or just tell him the looks you wish to achieve and leave it all to him.
