Be Realistic About Your Landscaping Timeline<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and granted, your yard isn’t the size of the city of Rome, but the same rule applies. Many new home owners fantasise transforming their yard in an afternoon. Instead, the first landscaping tip for beginners is to figure out when you’ll have time (over a series of weeks) to work on building your yard out. Set aside a few weekend mornings or afternoons to larger projects, like mulching and planting, plus a few weekday evening sessions to smaller projects, like shopping for supplies or taking control of smaller sections of your yard.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget that once the initial planting stops, your job isn’t over. You’ll need to dedicate a few hours a month (or more, depending on how extensive your landscaping ideas are) to weeding, re-planting, and taking general care of your yard. Otherwise, all your hard work and success will be replaced with weeds and a disappointed spouse.<\/p>\n
