Lets look at residential landscape design in terms of practical solutions for a property's beautification. Landscape design is producing outdoor spaces into functional and beautiful outdoor retreats and viewing areas, by using plant material and hard-scape materials to delineate these spaces. This is in contrast to the blank square grassy areas surrounded by either a chain link fence or a 6-foot wood privacy fence so often found in the average suburban neighborhood. Many people overlook the idea that a property should be developed and accessorize outside the home as much as it is inside the home, plants and accessories do not have to be expensive, just well thought out and well placed. There's a statistic that was published several years ago that stated that for each dollar spent in landscaping, a three dollar return was not uncommon in the resale of that home.
