  When adding outdoor playground equipment to your area you can actually plan this into your landscaping project as well and they can contribute to the visual appeal.
  
  The tools, for example a high-quality lawnmower or a leaf blower, are then shared by all of the neighbors. Build a schedule amongst yourselves that allows everyone cycled use of equipment.
  
  Water features like ponds or fountains can add spice and elegance to your yard. Water features also have a tendency to attract wildlife. Just remember to be a bit cautious when thinking about a fountain; remember they require an electrical source, so plan accordingly.
  
  Purchase your landscaping needs at different times of the year to get good discounts. Wait until near the end of season to purchase certain types of plants that nurseries want to get rid of. New varieties of plants are always coming on the market, but it may be wiser to wait a year or two until the price drops, before you invest in them.
  
  Test your soil before starting any landscaping project. Running these tests will make you aware of any quality issues with the soil and changes that need to be made before you put any plants in. This will ensure your garden and landscaping have a greater opportunity to flourish under optimum conditions.
  
  Before you take on your next landscaping idea, think about sketching out just how you envision the final product. You'll be able to get a clear idea of the results and the materials needed to achieve those results. If you find you need to make adjustments, it will be easier to do to a sketch than to your yard or garden.
  
  Most people don't consider going online to get their landscaping items. The surprising fact is that it is easier and convenient. Plus the selection available is much greater than the limited stock at a nursery or retailer.
  
  Think beyond just plants. Often, when looking to upgrade their landscaping, people only think about the plants they want to add. However, don't forget any non-living accents either. Decorative stones, pottery, and an arbor are all great ways to help your landscape look even better, particularly when your plants aren't in season.
  
  Spending less is not always the right thing to do. Many times, the less expensive landscaping supplies lack quality and will not stand up and to the extremes in weather. If you haven't done this much before, a store that specializes in landscaping and landscaping supplies may be the best place to buy your stuff because they can make sure you have everything you will need.
  
  Proper use of foliage and evergreens offer great continuity and flow to your landscaping. Choosing plants that only bloom in the spring or summer will leave your yard looking dead in fall and winter. You can maintain a green yard by using foliage plants or evergreens. You can also put these plants in between different garden beds.
  
  With a well-executed landscaping plan, you will transform your lawn and garden into an outdoor space that is the envy of the neighborhood. The most difficult part is telling them you did it by yourself since these tips make you appear like a pro. Good luck on your journey!
