Landscaping Magic

Ah, yes! Who wouldn't want that perfect landscaping, eh? You know - the kind that gives your home "curb appeal" from a block away.

That look which could easily become your home's pride and joy and the envy of your neighbors and friends... surely no dream house would be complete without fantastic landscaping!

Landscaping...

For many years, back to the times when we were young and carefree, we always pictured the home of our dreams with a beautiful yard filled with wonderful and fragrant blooms, and a patio where we could relax and savor all that we have accomplished in life.

And now, you have that home. And the only thing that is needed to transform it into the house you have fantasized about in those days of innocence is landscaping and a garden that would make its fields explode with vibrant colors and amazing beauty.

The problem?

As is usually the case, we don't have the slightest clue about landscaping, and cannot even claim more than the slightest knowledge about the basics.

We could always resort to a landscaping professional, of course.

They come in abundance, offering their services left and right. But could we afford any of them? And even if we could, how much damage would such cost our pockets?

Actually, my neighbor is a professional landscaper. With his own landscaping company. And a close friends son worked as a landscaper.

Let me tell you - they don't even want to go look at a new project if it isn't in the thousands of dollars. Many of my landscaping neighbor's projects easily run $30k or more. And he's not one of the expensive ones.

That's why I put this site together. And dug deep into their background and knowledge to put together a handbook on landscaping. I call it "Landscaping Magic".

Indeed, landscaping is not as easy as we want it to be. We could try it ourselves, of course… but such would require a whole lot of dedication and time to learn, and we're just talking about the basics!

That's why "Landscaping Magic" is the key.
And here is some more information on landscaping secrets:

How To Plant Rose Bushes In Landscaping Your Garden
Paul Curran
For planting roses a good garden loam with organic matter is
important. It must contain peat moss, leaf mold, compost,
rotted or commercial manure, and the bed should be prepared
as far ahead of planting as is feasible in order to allow
for settling of the soil.

Fall is the best time for setting out roses, but you can
plant in spring. When they arrive from the nursery, plant at
once. If they have dried en route, soak the roots and put
the tops in a bucket of water before planting. Trim back any
roots that are weak, long or broken at this time. Dig a hole
that is wide enough to allow the roots to spread without
crowding.

The rose is properly placed when the bud (the point where
the top joins the roots) is just under the ground surface.
Space hybrid teas about 18 inches apart in any direction.
Prune the branches 6 to 10 inches from the soil.

To grow good roses it is necessary to cultivate, to prune
and to spray. If you have a well-cultivated bed you need not
worry about watering. But if you start to water in hot
weather, you must keep it up, soaking the roots thoroughly
about once a week.

Spraying every 10 days guards against the diseases and
insects that attack roses. Nicotine sulphate wipes out the
green lice; arsenate of lead is used against chewing
insects; or sulphur and arsenate of lead may be used in a
dust, as may DDT dust.

Winterize your roses by mounding sod around them after the
first frost, or mulch with straw and evergreens. In cold
parts of the country, remove the supports from the climbing
roses and place the canes on the ground, peg them, and cover
with soil mounds.

In spring, cut back your roses to within 6 inches of the
ground. Ruthlessly lop off all but three or four canes on
hybrid teas. This pruning will give you strong plants. When
your plants grow out from spring pruning, you will have to
disbud, cutting off all the buds except the top ones on the
cane. This is the way to grow large blossoms.
