We love our new backyard and have so many backyard landscaping ideas for it that we get our dizzy, but it is so exciting to have our own backyard now that we don’t mind. Learning how to make the best use of the space we now have is important so we are always looking for a new backyard landscaping idea.

We have a second lot with our property that is equal in size but just waiting for our backyard landscaping ideas. Mmmmm more great veggies from our new backyard garden.

Functionality is one of the first of two principles in landscaping design. The main reason for landscaping is to make your home look better and be more livable for the family so that they can make better use of the yard areas. The first thing people see when they drive by or come to visit is your home and yard. You need it to be easy for people to get from the street or driveway to the front door. The concept should be inviting and pleasant.

The second principle is that the design should look balanced and interesting. This includes concepts like unity, balance, interest and symmetry. You will be able to create a home and yard that works you and your family through out the years by using basic design concepts.

You need to plan your yard, whether is be a formal drawing or just a sketch of what you will be doing. You need to plan out the placement of plant types and accents such as stones, borders or fencing, even where you are going to place the deck or patio. This is the blueprint for both the purchase of your supplies as well as where everything goes once you have it home.
