Landscaping mistakes

Here are some tips to make your do it yourself projects a success.

Most homeowners  often tend to buy something because it looks good or has a nice bloom at the time of purchase. Often times a homeowner will plant there new plants in areas where it gets to much sun and water or not enough and wonder why nothing they purchase lives. In many cases I have found a homeowner will buy a plant when it is small, go home plant it and in a couple years that little cute plant becomes so overgrown the homeowner has to hire someone to remove the plant.Often times there are tags on most plants you purchase, however the tag could be wrong. To solve this problem always talk to a landscape professional or nurseryman about shrubs and plants before you plan to make a purchase to be  sure you are getting the right size plant to fit your landscape. There are many factors in preparing your flower and shrub beds. Depending on your soil type, you may have to add some type of soil conditioner ( Miracle Grow Potting Mix or Organic Compost) are two very good products.  Most nurseries and landscape companys offer these products. If you don't own a tiller don't worry there are options. You can always rent a tiller or hire someone to till the area you are planning to landscape. After all flower and shrub beds are tilled place your plants where you would like them to go. Once you are satisfied with the placement of your plants you can begin the fun part, plant them and mulch the shrub beds. When mulching always use three to six inches on top of the soil keeping the mulch from covering your newly planted plants.
