Tips for DIY Landscape Design
1. Think Practical Landscape Designs
When trying to create a landscape designfor your North Georgia home, consider using natural resources such as rocks, trees and shrubs within your own yard. Here are a few common tricks to help you get the idea.
Use deciduous trees for extra shade around your home which can also help lower your summer cooling bills. You won’t lose out on extra sunlight during the Winter months since these trees will lose their leaves.
Consider utilizing evergreen trees as a windbreaker during Winter months to help lower your overall heating expenses during this part of the year.
You can also use smaller shrubs around the foundation of your home to act as a natural insulation. Fill in the open spaces for an attractive and practical appeal to help beautify your home.
