- Conduct an inventory. Determine what plants you have, their condition, and their location in your landscape. Doing so can help you select the perfect plants to complement what you already have on hand.
- Keep it simple. Make sure your landscape is easy to maintain and doesn’t require lots of special care and treatment to stay healthy.
- Select quality materials. Make sure to purchase good quality plants, and solid hardscaping that won’t fall apart on you.
- Create a schedule. Make sure you schedule weekly, monthly, and seasonal tasks so that you don’t get behind on chores or maintenance.
- Continually analyze your landscape. Keep an eye on your landscape to determine what plants are doing. Doing so can help you adjust your watering schedules, your fertilizing plans, and your planting patterns.
