The importance of a garden

The exterior of a home needs to be cared for and maintained.  A garden breaks the monotony of walls and concrete and greatly enhance the image of your home.

The garden must be in harmony with the surroundings.  Factors like climate, how the wind blows, water drainage systems, type of soil, how much sunlight and shadow in the garden will all play a vital role when choosing plants for your garden.

Indigenous plants are always a good choice, because they require less water and grow easily.  Use plants of different sizes which bloom in different seasons.  Use taller plants more to the back of the garden and smaller ones more to the front.  Plants with different colour leaves, type and texture will keep the garden interesting.

Turn the ways in which the garden are accessed into interesting walkways by using a variety of materials like pebbles, wood and an abundance of flowering plants.

Your garden can become the biggest asset of your home if you plan it well.
