Choosing the wrong set of plants

One of the most common mistakes people make is choosing the wrong set of plants. This ranks as the most common mistake made by first-time landscapers. When selecting plants for your yard, consider factors such as the size of your yard and the plants themselves, whether they are native to your area, and the overall aesthetic you want to convey in your landscape.

Mismatched Elements

An important thing to keep in mind when designing your yard is to ensure that the elements comprising your landscape are cohesive and that your yard is symmetric. If not done correctly from the beginning, this issue will not become apparent until after the project is done.

Not having a plan for your plants.

A crucial aspect to consider is having a plan for your plants. Having a plan for your plants allows you to figure out how much water they need, their watering schedule, and when you will need to hire a gardening service to prune your plants. All of this will allow your plants the best opportunity to flourish.

Inappropriate use of aesthetic

The misuse of aesthetics can lead to various problems. You need to choose what kind of Landscape design you’d like, whether that’s formal garden design (symmetry, tight structure, and orderliness) or informal garden design (wild riot, color, and a disdain for prominent organization). Once you have chosen which aesthetic you’d like, make sure you stick with it to best accentuate the aesthetic of your landscape
