I am looking for a website that I can design a landscape idea for the front of my house. I want to put a small flowering tree w/ flowers. Does anyone know of a good website? Also I am wandering if anyone has ideas as far as window ideas, instead of shutters, what can be placed around windows that would be neat?

How to mark and prepare planting areas for landscaping plans and ideas. How to cut sod.

Do you know any sites that has good landscaping pictures to get ideas? I have planted 6 fruit trees, and now need to do the landscaping and the ground work to cover the dirt and make it look nice.

If i don't cover the dirt, weed keeps growing and dried grass. Pls help, thanks!

Go to bhg.com (Better Homes and Gardens). They have landscaping plans for all types of yards and conditions, along with substitute plants for the ones they list in some of them. They also have a program on their site where you can create your own plan by plugging in the dimensions of your yard and adding plants the size you want to see how it will look.

One good way to keep the weeds from coming through is to put down black plastic before you plant. Fasten it down well (we cut about 6" lengths of wire and bend them like staples), cut holes in it where you want your plants, and plant them through it. You can cover it with mulch once you've finished to hide the plastic. The plastic also holds in moisture and heat, so you won't have to water as often.

I have been looking all over the internet and can not find a good website with landscaping ideas and pictures. The website has to be free of charge and have lots of photographic examples of flower/plant combinations, etc.

We just bought our first home last July and are clueless how to landscape around the house. Right now all that's around the house are ugly bushes that are dead. This spring we are digging up the bushes and we have bought landscaping stone (the multicolored gravel) to go around the house. Does anyone have any good ideas or suggestions on what to plant? I want colorful flowers that will come up every year and some trees that are mauve in color. I haven't a clue what to get! Help!

buy perennial flowers that come up year after year. pansies are really good for this and will grow back even thicker year after year. while they are blooming deadhead and when you get little seed pods on them pop them and they will grow, they pods are full of seeds, in corners you can plant butterfly bushes, they always look really pretty and lilac bushes grow well up against houses and are very pretty.if you want a good display that will grow up onto the house you could plant wisteria that grows on just about anything and they have purple in that,and it grows in shapes like bunches of grapes, that would look nice. start off with some paper and get on-line to look up plants and draw what you have to see what you think would look nice. you can always add more as you go along, and remember gardens change as they grow, just enjoy making it look beautiful and don't worry, most plants are strong and before you know it you will have a beautiful landscape. good luck hun.xx

Open pallet for landscaping that is wooded and very wet. I have also seen deer tracks, so I need things that are deer repellent. There is standing water that I would like to try minimize with planting and or stone. It is filtered, limited sun area. I am planning on putting up a privacy fence to the wood line then continuing with a chain link in the woods (needed to for my dogs). Any ideas

unless you get a 10 foot tall or better fence forget keeping the deer out. I have seen them jump over 8 foot fences with ease.but if you keep the dogs outside that will deter the deer. as for the boggy wooded area if i had some pictures and the state you live in i could send you some ideas( dont need exact location it just helps with plant variaties).
For some reason i took horticulture in highschool for an easy class and it turned out i am quite good at it and enjoy it.
but as far as the boggy part if the ground isnt level i would have it dug down several feet then have sandy loam put in place topped with compost or high quality clean top soil. the sandy loam will aid in drainage and the top soil or compost is excellant for plants.
i will be more than happy to give you ideas if you send me a drawing of the layout of your yard with dimensions. just send me a pm if you want to do that .

i dont know how big your lawn is but something else occured to me today. how about planting a weeping willow in the area that has the most water. they love water i have seen roots come through swimming pool liners to get to the water.that may help solve alot of the boggy part. if your lawn is large enough plant several.
also try rhododendron's and trappers tea(groenlandicum) the last 2 are if you have a an acidic soil they love it. i have to ask this ,ist the ground always saturated with water from the ground or is it just stagnant rain water that is not getting soaked up by the soil. here is a site that will also aid ideas.

if you need to cut down a few trees to make room for the willows. Go after the tree that don't look very healthy.there are several web sites that will show,or tell you what to look for. google forestry,tree diseases.
