Planting

- Plants are surprisingly expensive because there is generally so much that needs to be planted.
- Consider the trade off, however, in choosing larger plants that may be cost more but have an immediate effect, as opposed to buying smaller plants that will take a couple of years to reach the right size.
- Remember to look at the size that trees grow to ? some trees get big (really big!), so think about where you?re planting them for yourself and for your neighbors.
- Check the materials to be used in beds with the plants going in to make sure they complement each other ? recent garden designs that incorporated river stones have sometimes been used under plants that drop leaves, which means they fill with mulch and disappear under weeds.
- The notion of the low-maintenance garden is very hard to achieve, short of lots of concrete and few plants that are mainly succulents, so make sure you?re prepared to keep on top of your garden to ensure it looks its best.
- Grouping plants together can make a strong garden statement and don?t forget the lawn.
- Readylawn, spray-on seed or sow it yourself, ensure you?ve prepared the ground appropriately for the best effects. Time spent here pays off.

Outdoor Living
Furniture
- When buying outdoor furniture, remember to take into consideration where you live.
- If you reside in a hot climate you will need to consider buying equipment that won’t warp in the intense heat. On the other hand, if you live in an area prone to wet and extreme cold weather, being able to quickly relocate your furniture into storage will mean you will need to either collapsible/folding furniture in order to move it in a hurry or study weather proof furniture that won't warp, rust or blow away.
