The Informal Style. This kind of landscaping goes well with houses which have a cozy look to them. In this garden style, plants and foliage are unsystematically planted and are not as well tended and look more functional than formal.
English Garden. This style emphasizes on the harmony between the house's architecture and the garden.
The Combination Formal/Informal Garden. A common feature of this style is a walkway of masonry that hints at formality. If you stroll along this path, you will end up at the back of the house among flourishing plant life. The arrangement of plants resembles the English garden style, but it has no formal borders.
Oriental Garden. If you have a small front or backyard, the oriental style will be just right for you. It uses rocks, evergreens and water, and a wide variety of plants to create several angles with this style.
The Woodland Garden. This landscaping suits a house that has a wooded backyard and an inclined terrain.
You are not in position to proceed from the planning stage to the active phase of landscaping your garden, and confident that every cent you spend will count.
It will be your house and garden, so you can afford to be bold and daring with your ideas and put into reality your own dream garden. You will find that it will be doubly satisfying to be able to see and enjoy the fruits of your labor, plus enjoy the smug feeling that there is a great artist hidden within you.
