Upon getting started, take a look at the front of your house. Take some photographs of your house and objectively look at your home garden and your front yard landscaping. Ask yourself what you would say about it if it was your neighbors house. Now you need to right down any problems that you have observed. Try to see if there are overgrown plants, is your garden safe and with proper lighting. Are your plants and flowers worn out or are they still healthy.
The next step is to visualize what your garden looks like now and how you would want it to look like. This will make your landscaping job much easier because you already have a vision of how it would look. Also remember that your garden landscape should look just as exciting from the inside and not just from the outside alone. You may go inside of your house and visualize your garden from the main windows.

Learning how to landscape a garden need not be difficult. Just learn the basics and use your creativeness and you will do just fine.
