Lawn and garden beauty is the crowning glory of all dedicated American homeowners. Without a tidy garden and well cut lawn a home can look sadly neglected. It doesn't matter how fine the house is, to complete the picture there must be a well tended lawn and garden. Today's garden enthusiast never had it so good, as there is such an enormous amount of lawn and garden products available. The lawn and garden novice will have no trouble in finding all the information he or she needs from any of the nursery centers.

Information is easily found on lawn planting, what type of seeds to sew in what areas, and what type of lawn fertilizer to use and how often. The same goes for establishing the garden, what types of plants grow best in your area, and where they should be planted are easily answered by staff at your local garden center.

Once you have some idea of these basics you are able to move on to the exciting part of designing your own lawn and garden areas. With water shortage problems becoming more common, its very prudent to buy water-wise. There are many plants that not only need minimal watering; they also look stunning in any place around your home. Of course, having a water tank incorporated in your house plumbing, can save you gray water for plants watering.

It is important when planning your lawn and garden to give yourself plenty of time for it to evolve. Looking through magazines featuring lawns and gardens will provide a wealth of information and will help you decide what style you like. Your lawn and gardens can be set out in formal, natural, English cottage, oriental or really whatever you would like to adopt. It even helps to sketch a layout of your proposed lawn and garden, and then you can make changes often as new ideas come to you.

As you plan and design your garden always consider the line. Curved lines shape informal garden beds and lawns, whereas straight lines tend to evoke a sense of order that is more formal for your lawn and garden area. Curving lines throughout the lawn and garden area will take the eye on an intriguing journey that pleases. If successful, even your new patio landscaping will look great.

Once your lawn and garden area is established depending on the type of lawn and garden you have planted, then you hopefully should have relatively easy maintenance. Of course with lawns and gardens there is always the lawns to be cut and the garden to be pruned, fertilized, and watered. These lawn and garden tasks can all be made easy today with irrigation systems installed, and if you are not into cutting the lawn on a Saturday morning, then there are plenty of businesses that offer lawn mowing and garden trimming services.

It is after all such a small price to pay to be able to spend time relaxing on your lawn, admiring your garden, and enjoying the rewards that mother nature has bestowed on you. And dont forget, the benefits of eating your own vegetables that you can grow organically, and harvest when absolutely fresh. Relax, have fun, and smell roses on your own patch!
