Considerations for Landscaping your Backyard

Really the longest part of the landscape process is the gestation period. This is when you’re really looking at the land from different angles. For example, I have a high porch, and I would go down and look at it from the porch, and then I would go down and look at it from the street. I would look at it from my house. I would look at it from where I would sit in it. And then I would go back to the porch. This occurred for maybe six months or a year or two before I did each part of my landscape. I like to do my personal landscape in a very organic way, so I’ve done it a segment at a time and kind of prepared places. I don’t actually do the landscape until I have an idea of the elements, feelings, and what I want that part of the landscape to be used for. All this comes in the gestation period.
