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:

Types Of Vines For Landscaping Your Home
Paul Curran
For covering walls of houses, boulders, stone walls, etc., the
ivies are, of course, used more than other vines. Boston ivy is
the quickest growing. Japanese bittersweet [Euonymus radicans) is
a good vine for walls, too; evergreen, it grows well on the north
sides of buildings as well as on exposed locations.
Winter-creeper, in both large and small-leaved varieties, is a
hardy vine for wall planting.

Other vines that can cling without aid to concrete, brick and
stone include Chinese trumpetcreeper, English ivy, Lowe ivy and
Virginia creeper, sometimes called woodbine or American ivy.
Virginia creeper is the ivy that twines around trees and covers
the ground in woodlands, and while it makes a good building
cover, it does become heavy and require thinning out as it grows
older. Virginia creeper is also effective for providing shade.
(Other shade-producing vines are grape, Dutchman's pipe and
silver vine.)

Many vines which are not self-supporting can be trellis-trained,
and can add color and beauty to a house. Among the more showy
varieties are wisteria, with its clusters of white to purple blos
soms; clematis, which has a large flower appearing from early
summer until fall; and trumpetcreep-er, with its tropical-looking
clusters of big scarlet and orange flowers during late summer.

There is also trumpet honeysuckle, which has clusters of red and
yellow perfumed flowers; and climbing hydrangea, with its large
white clusters. Some of the annual vines, such as the hyacinth
bean which grows on strings and has many flowers, or the scarlet
runner bean which has showy flowers, are good for shade, too.

For covering banks and ground where you have difficulty with
grass, you might try periwinkle (also called running myrtle), an
evergreen which has blue flowers all summer. Another evergreen is
pachysandra, mentioned elsewhere; and there is moneywort which
flattens against the ground.

Some attractive and fragrant-blossoming annuals that you might
also consider are: nasturtium; bal-foon vine, which is good to
cover fences; cypress vine, with a large number of small
star-shaped flowers in orange, red and white, and the familiar
morning-glory and moonflower plants.
