How big an area are you dealing with?
-
What is your knowledge of garden maintenance?
-
Do you need room for disability, play or domestic necessities?
-
Do you have favourite plants?
-
What plants do you dislike or are a health risk to you?
-
Would you consider having your garden maintained for you?

The process
-
You can choose a garden style from one of the above or mix to some degree. Look in magazines
especially dedicated to landscaping as against garden magazines. They emphasise the overall
appearance of a garden rather that the horticultural nature of plants. This is a good place
to start.
-
Consider what hard landscape is necessary e.g. paving, lawn edging, paths, screening, pergolas
and outdoor rooms, retaining walls and stairs.
-
Now you can dedicate the various sections of your garden for each purpose. Work on how many
square metres you would like for paving (20sqm is a good starting point).
