A landscaped garden is more than just a few well placed hedges and trees. There are hundreds of unique designs you can choose to suit the style of your home and the flow of your garden. The end look you choose will depend on how big your garden is, what you plan to use it for and what kind of natural light it gets.

Often when we think of landscaped gardens we see neat landscapes with trimmed lawns bordered with neat beds of flowers and shaped trees but modern landscaping is taking its inspiration from a number of sources and today you can create anything from an eastern zen garden to a garden abundent with wild flowers and rockpools.

So how do you start your garden landscaping project? Before you do anything you need to have a clear vision for your garden. Do you want a garden that is zen and minimalist or something more natural and overgrown?

Once you have your plan written down you can start looking for a landscaper to help with your project. Often you will find a landscaping team with a landcape designer and a gardener but depending on your bugdet you may prefer to find someone who is able to both design and create your garden. Because gardening is such a soothing and exciting hobby, you may find yourself wanting to landscape your garden all on your own and with a good design in hand and a strong dose of patience, you will find this kind of job rewarding. Make sure you locate a good nursery as you will be spending large amounts of time there. Also, search your local library or bookstore for more information on landcape gardening.

The most important thing to remember though, is that once you start gardening the job will never be complete, so get ready to become addicted to your garden. (A nice article on landscape gardeneing here).
