If you are planning new landscaping for your garden, as with every other large project you could undertake for your property, there is a right way to do it and, as many know from bitter experience, numerous wrong ways to do it.
Unfortunately, given the scale of landscape designs, getting it wrong can be costly, not just financially, but also in the time wasted and the stress a botched landscaping project is likely to create.
One of the most destructive things to befall any landscaping is flooding.
Whether the flooding is caused by days of continuous torrential rain, waters from a nearby source such as a river or lake busting their banks, or closer to home, a burst pipe or water main, the potential destruction of much of your landscaped garden is a real possibility.
Whilst most of us benefit from many hours of sunlight for most of the year, when a landscape design is being put together there is other light to be considered.

The further into large cities you get, the smaller the yards that properties tend to have.
And while it can be disheartening to learn that you canβt have a short work commute and a sprawling lawn, that doesnβt mean you canβt get creative with landscaping.
