<p>You’ve spent a lot of love, time and labor making your garden beautiful. However, how often do you spend time in the backyard admiring your labor of love? For all the good intentions people have with garden tea get-togethers or backyard barbeques, they don’t happen nearly often enough. Sometimes weather is an issue, but more often we simply forget to stop and smell our roses.</p>
<p>The good news is that investing in a little home improvement can let you enjoy your garden year-round. You probably spend a good chunk of time in the kitchen, living room or other indoor space that’s just a wall away from your garden. Choosing the right window installation not only beautifies your home and increases its value; it also gives you a front row seat to the beauty of your garden.</p>
<p><strong>Trending Now: Window Treatments That Complement Your Garden</strong></p>
<p>A great way to segue your garden indoors is to choose natural, organic window treatments. This might mean bamboo blinds, exposed wood grains or natural woven matchstick. It’s an easy segue that attracts the eye and spills out into your garden. You also continue the theme of natural beauty indoors, which is a reminder of the stunning garden you have just a few steps away.</p>
<p>If you prefer your trusty curtains, the good news is that the most popular color trends right now are blue, soft grays and other cooler, natural colors. These hues have replaced the warm, red trends of years past and also complement your garden. Your eye is naturally attracted to soothing colors, and blues won’t provide a jarring contrast to your garden.</p>
<p><strong>Taking it Further</strong></p>
<p>If you really want to make a statement, consider replacing the window with something that more generously shows off your garden. An updated picture window is the perfect frame to your backyard, and lets in more natural light. However, a garden window really lives up to its name and is a statement piece that doubles as a viewing area. The installation of a garden window doesn’t just frame your backyard, it puts a spotlight on it and gives you a cozy place to curl up with your laptop or book.</p>
<p>A geometric shape window, such as a half-circle, provides a unique centerpiece to your wall. If your style and garden tend to fall on the funky side, this is an easy and innovative way to capture anyone’s attention. Of course, divided windows are also a little different and provide a kaleidoscope image of your backyard space.</p>
<p><strong>Not Sure Where to Start?</strong></p>
<p>Just like interior decorating, figuring out the best way to put your garden on display might seem overwhelming. If that’s the case, there are plenty of experts to help you out. From experts in <a href="http://www.rbacentralpa.com/replacement-windows/">Harrisburg window</a>s to treatment specialists in Seattle, there are professionals available to assist. Find pictures you like, consider the layout of your room and get ready to properly frame your passion.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>With spring in full bloom, it&#8217;s time to get around to properly caring for you trees. In order to do this, you need to take care of a few important tree care tasks.</p>
<h2>Cleaning Up</h2>
<p>One of the first steps of springtime tree care is cleaning. You should take any lights or other decorations off of your trees. Lights especially can cause trees problems if left on them for too long. Also, if you have any wraps around trees that were protecting them during the winter, you should take them off now. Twigs and debris of any sort should be properly cleaned up by raking it. Debris can cause trees problems like fungal growth, so raking up leaves or fruit that has fallen on the ground is important.</p>
<h2>Spreading Mulch</h2>
<p>Another useful tree care tip is to spread a layer of mulch. The mulch should be spread near the trees, but be careful not to put it directly against a tree&#8217;s trunk. Mulch is moist and could cause the tree to become diseased if placed on the trunk.</p>
<p>Mulch is useful because it helps stop the growth of weeds. It also will keep soil moist. It&#8217;s especially beneficial for young trees, but it&#8217;s fine for older trees as well.</p>
<h2>Watering Trees</h2>
<p>You shouldn&#8217;t water your trees until the soil is thawed out. When the soil is ready, you should begin watering them. Any areas around trees that had de-icing products used on them need to be thoroughly and deeply watered in order to get salt away from the roots of the trees.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a good idea to let a tree become too dry. You will have to water the trees more if you have sandy soil; water them as many times as you need to. This will ensure they are healthy.</p>
<p>Sprinklers need to be carefully inspected to make sure there are no problems with any of the components like the emitters. If there is a leak or other issue, it could cause puddles around trees which will cause problems. The position of the sprinklers is important, too. They shouldn&#8217;t be able to spray onto the leaves or flowers of trees that might grow fungi when wet for extended periods of time.</p>

<h2>Pruning</h2>
<p>Another springtime chore for tree care is proper pruning. When it&#8217;s spring, you shouldn’t cut back any healthy branches (wait until summer when seasonal growth is complete) but definitely inspect trees to see if there are any dead branches. Remove dead branches or branches that have been broken.</p>
<h2>Inspection</h2>
<p>When spring comes, you should check your trees to see if they have any diseases, fungi, or damage by rabbits. Wire mesh can be placed over rabbit holes in the trunk to prevent further damage.</p>
<p>If one or more of your trees is diseased or has major damage to it, you can contact an expert to help take care of the problem.</p>
<h2>Pest Damage</h2>
<p>There are a variety of pests that can cause damage to trees. Research and <a href="http://www.urbanforestprofessionals.com/" target="_blank">talk to a certified arborist</a> about methods to protect your trees from pests.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When running a landscaping company, efficiency and accuracy mean everything to the owner and the customer. Owners want to minimize wastage and customers want a clear picture of what their home and the surrounding landscape will look like. Landscaping software are programs specially designed for landscaping purposes and, in essence, every landscaping business should use one.</p>
<h2 class="western">Minimize Wastage</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">In almost every landscaping project, there is usually wastage because extra materials are usually bought ‘just to be sure’. Not only does this cost the customer more money, it makes the landscaping company look rather unprofessional.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Using landscaping software ensures minimal wastage, if any, as the software tells landscapers exactly how much material they require, including its costs. Furthermore, the software also details exactly how much material will be used in a specific area, ensuring optimum usage of all available materials.</p>
<h2 class="western">Better Planning</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Landscapers usually construct blueprints on which they allocate their workload. Although this works fine for most small projects, this may not be the case for larger projects. Additionally, 2D representations can only show a finite amount of detail. Landscaping software allows landscape artists to create a 3D version of their original blueprint.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">With a more accurate and realistic blueprint of the landscaping project to ensue, work can be better allocated. Furthermore, the entire team can better understand the 3D blueprint.</p>
<h1 class="western"><a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/4529216179_51fdc47391_n.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6695 aligncenter" alt="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauldineen/" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/4529216179_51fdc47391_n.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></a></h1>
<p style="text-align: center;">photo by <a title="Paul L Dineen" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pauldineen/">Paul L Dineen</a></p>
<h2 class="western">Realistic Estimations</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The one great thing about landscaping software is its ability to provide realistic estimations. Professional landscaping software has a library of materials with the costs associated with them. Whether you use 100 or 113.563 pounds of mulch, the landscaping software will calculate the exact cost of the material, allowing owners to provide much more realistic and accurate quotes.</p>
<h2 class="western">Customer Satisfaction</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When your clients pay for landscaping services, they expect professional service.  Most customers will rarely understand the landscaping blueprint most landscapers create. However, they will easily understand a full 3D layout and visualization of the completed project. Landscaping software allows landscaping companies to provide just that.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">With an accurate visual look at their completed project, customer satisfaction increases. Furthermore, they can make any changes and see the effects of the change in real-time rather than waiting till project completion.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">With so many advantages, both to the company and the customer, every landscaping company should use <a href="http://www.landscapebilling.com">landscaping software</a> to increase efficiency, better manage projects and ensure greater customer satisfaction.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/journal.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6608 aligncenter" alt="journal" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/journal.jpg" width="225" height="281" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Documentation is a key element in helping you along the garden design path. I highly recommend that you <i>keep a Garden Journal</i><b> </b>for specific notes on what was planted and its location, where the plant was purchased, and any other important details.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Here are some tips on what to keep in your garden journal</strong><a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Side-Garden.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-6609" alt="The Side Garden" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Side-Garden.jpg" width="273" height="360" /></a>:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><i>1. Draw your Garden Plan layouts</i>. Even though the plan may change over the course of time, this will give you something to work off and a place to start.<br />
<i>2. Keep all tags and receipts</i> from plants that have a warranty in your journal. This is especially important for large, expensive items such as trees, shrub&#8217;s/bushes and fruit bearing plants. It’s frustrating when you loose a year of growth when a plant dies, but if you have the receipt, you’ll at least be able to get a replacement at no charge.<br />
<i>3. Photograph your gardens.</i> I suggest doing this in the early and late parts of each season. This will give you an accurate account of how things grew. Having this info will also help you in knowing what needs to be filled in, removed, thinned out or re-done.<br />
Take photos of your trees and other larger plants every year to document growth.</p>
<p>If you really liked a particular planting or arrangement you created with annuals, be sure to include the tags with a photo of the bed, along with where you purchased the plants.</p>
<p><i>4. Save Ideas:</i> I often see planting designs and architectural items in other gardens that I would like to replicate. I take photo&#8217;s to put in my journal otherwise I wouldn’t remember everything. I also photocopy ideas out of gardening magazines and store them there as well.  I also use an<i> Idea Notebook</i> that I keep in my purse to jot down ideas I see driving past a lovely yard or something &#8216;neatsy&#8217; at a greenhouse/nursery.</p>
<p>Documenting your gardens growth in a garden journal will allow you to page through the history as well as the future dreams of your gardens.<a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/garden-journal2-emailver.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-6607 aligncenter" alt="garden journal2 emailver" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/garden-journal2-emailver.jpg" width="432" height="576" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There are very little joys quite like nurturing something from birth and watching it come to its own. Those who are big into gardening know this feeling of satisfaction all too well and revel in it, as a matter of fact, it is sometimes the reason that we garden in the first place. Furthermore, all gardeners can relate to longing for the preservation of natural innocence of his or her garden but are faced with the need to supplement our gardens with products to either protect it from predators or to ensure healthy growth. Moreover, these products are manufactured in nature and often contain non-organic chemicals that have harmful residual effects to the soil or environment around your garden.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: left;">I am not trying to debunk the use of gardening tools or products, far from it. Instead, I wish to bring to light the copious amounts of options available to garden enthusiasts. With the advent of organic products in the gardening market, now folks can have their cake AND eat it too! That desire to keep life simple, organic, and clean is possible as manufacturers have started to listen to the wants of their consumer base. Now alongside regular pesticides, fertilizers and gardening equipment, there are equivalent products on the market today that allow you to practice <a href="http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/natural-organic-c-31.html">natural garden pest control</a>.</p>
<p>Some examples of the proliferation in the organic product category include some items such as neem oil, which is a vegetable oil pressed from the fruits and seeds of the Azadirachta indica (Neem), an evergreen tree. Another example of organic products that are available are Beneficial nematodes; which are natural predators of common garden pests like aphids, cutworms, white grubs, Japanese beetles, etc. and are used accordingly. Let us not forget larger pests like the raccoon, rabbit or deer; innovate animal repellants like Contech’s scarecrow sprinkler work to set these rascals straight by using nothing more than water to shoo them away from your precious gardens.</p>
<p>The best part about these environmentally conscience offerings is that their just a small sampling of what is out on the market right now, so I suggest that you take the time to do your homework, figure out you garden problem, deduce from that problem which organic solution works best for your situation and keep that garden of yours in pristine condition. All the while, you are taking care of business worry free knowing that you have preserved the organic integrity or your garden!</p>

<p>Whether you’re a die hard gardener or someone just looking to create a little Eden of your own, it doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult. Many enjoy the idea of designing new garden spaces, but may wonder how to begin? Here are some tips you’ll need to address before the big day of breaking ground. That day is right around the corner&#8230; don&#8217;t let your dreams sit stagnant and lifeless, start planning now!</p>
<p>· Location: This is the first step. It will determine what type of plants you will purchase, whether irrigation will be necessary and if so, what type. Will it be along a building? In the middle of the yard? An extension of an existing garden?<a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Bistro_garden_email_version.jpg"><img class="alignright  wp-image-6600" alt="Bistro_garden_email_version" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Bistro_garden_email_version.jpg" width="270" height="405" /></a></p>
<p>·Type of Garden: Do you want a perennial bed or border with a few annuals as fillers? Is this a small bed that you would like to plant up with annuals each year to have variation?  Will it to be a combination of both annuals and perennials? Are you looking to create a formal garden, herb garden, rose garden or kitchen garden?</p>
<p>· Hard Scape Elements: This includes walkways- what will you use for the ‘floor’- pea gravel, mulch, slate, brick, etc. Where will the arbors, pergola, trellis’ and fencing be placed? Will there be ponds, retaining walls, etc.  Hard scaping is something that should be determined early on.</p>
<p>· Plant Selection: Once location, type of garden and hard scape elements are determined you can start choosing plants. The amount of sun or lack of will determine which types.  Decide whether you will order some and/or purchase at nurseries, can you start any by seed? Bulbs will need to be purchased this fall. What about getting plants from family and friends when they divide theirs this spring?</p>
<p>· Architectural Elements: The type of garden you choose will determine what these elements will be. Formal English gardens will have more distinct lines using hedges of Boxwood; Cottage gardens will use what I refer to as garden junque, etc.</p>
<p>· Irrigation: will you use sprinklers/hoses, underground sprinkler systems, above ground drip lines, soaker hoses?</p>
<p>· Mulching: Mulch will help maintain moisture and hold back weeds and are a must in my opinion. Again what you choose should fit with your garden style. Mulch color, lava rock, white marble stones, bark, etc.</p>
<p>Now that you have lots of great ideas swimming around in your mind, get a piece of paper and start writing it down…</p>
<p>Keep watch next time for <strong>Garden Journals</strong>. Documenting your gardens is a specific key to your success in all garden design… see you next time!</p>

<p>Considering landscape design in Sacramento is an important step once you purchase a home in <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/california/california/california-style/">California</a>. You&#8217;ll want to make it your own by adding personal touches such as repainting or re-landscaping with the addition of beautiful garden features in order to let it stand out and bring about a breath of fresh air to your home making it uniquely different than the previous owners.</p>
<p>Maybe you have purchased a brand new home and are starting from scratch; you will want to do your research when looking at outdoor landscaping options.</p>
<p>The growing trends of today are focusing more on originality and moving away from the cookie-cutter of having the same gardens and landscapes of those neighbors around you.</p>
<div><img title="landscape design in Sacramento" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/landscape-design-in-sacramento-88a.jpg" alt="landscape design in Sacramento" width="300" align="left" /></div>
<p>More people are spending time entertaining outdoors rather than inside and a growing trend is to extend the indoors to the outdoors area.</p>
<p>Including features in your landscape design in Sacramento such as lawn ornaments, decorative pots, <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/ideas-tips/water-features/fountains/">fountains</a>, stone paths, <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/ideas-tips/swimming-pools/swimming-pools/">pools</a> and even <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/ideas-tips/water-features/ponds/">ponds</a> are coming more into play when designing a living space outside of your home.</p>
<p>Time is a luxury that many do not have these days. Gone are the times where our mothers took weekends to plant flowers in the gardens and prune bushes and weed the gardens.</p>
<div><img title="landscape design in Sacramento" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/landscape-design-in-sacramento-77.jpg" alt="landscape design in Sacramento" width="270" align="right" /></div>
<p>These days, people want hassle-free landscaping so they can enjoy the beauty of their surroundings without spending a lot of time working on it themselves.</p>
<p>One option many homeowners exercise now is having professional companies come in to do the design and installation for them in order to keep their grounds attractive and free up their time for things like entertaining friends and family.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Communities of Sacramento</strong></h2>
<p>As real estate changes each year, so does landscaping needs for those residents in places such as <em>Carmichael</em>, where once farmland on the north side of the American River has changed to a 2-mile long business district. Although the original style of Carmichael is apparent from the palm trees planted in this community, it has grown rapidly over the years.</p>
<div><img title="landscape design in Sacramento" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/landscape-design-in-sacramento-el-dorado-hills-1a.jpg" alt="landscape design in Sacramento" width="320" align="left" /></div>
<p><em>El Dorado Hills </em>was originally a master-planned community dating back to the early 1960s. With the original idea of having villages in these rolling hills, having the correct landscaping is ideal for this area of Sacramento.</p>
<p><em>Fair Oaks</em> is a community where the mix of suburban and semi-rural neighborhoods is abundant in Sacramento. Here the focus is on family functionality and outdoor landscaping reflects that in many homes. This small town atmosphere in Fair Oaks is welcoming and comfortable for many, landscaping options such as park benches or outdoor swings can be seen in this neighborhood.</p>
<p>Unity and consistency is always important when managing your outdoor landscape design in Sacramento to suit the region in where you live.</p>
<p>You do not want your home or grounds area to look out of place compared to your surroundings.<br />
With so many <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/product-reviews-2/product-reviews/ideas-4-landscaping/">landscape design ideas</a> to choose from, you are sure to find a landscape design in Sacramento that will suit your new home no matter what area you choose to reside.</p>

One may be peaking out of a cluster of tulips while another is nestled into the depths of a climbing vine.  I enjoy re-purposing other people’s cast offs, melding functionality with creativity leaving the guest with an unforgettable feeling.</p>
<p>In <a title="Awaken Your Cottage Garden Using Eclectic Containers" href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/awaken-your-cottage-garden-using-eclectic-containers.html">my previous post</a> I discussed objects that make great garden containers. Today let’s look at where you can find them along with some shopping tips.</p>
<p><em>Where to find great junque:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Flea markets</strong> are a great place to find eclectic items of all sorts.</li>
<li><strong>Rummage sales</strong> are typically loaded with cast offs.</li>
<li><strong>Antique shops</strong> are the best place to explore because they realize garden junque is something their shoppers want.</li>
<li><strong>Thrift shops</strong>. The Salvation Army, The Good Will, and smaller independently owned shops are good places to start.</li>
<li><strong>Garage sales</strong> are always hit and miss. Look for block or subdivision sales which will keep you in a concentrated location.</li>
<li><strong>Estate sales</strong> will typically have some interesting older pieces.</li>
<li><strong>Auctions, </strong>especially in the country offer loads of great junque. Read over the auction’s sale items list.</li>
<li><strong>Craig’s List, EBay and similar sites</strong>. Search under garden supplies, antique tools, watering cans, etc. and specific item names (i.e. Tin buckets).</li>
</ul>
<div>My minds eye is in tune with what I love in my gardens and therefore has become quite keen in spotting usable junque… and so can yours.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Tips on shopping wisely:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><div class="simplePullQuote"><p>Think out of the box&#8230; if you find the perfect crate but its brown and you want white- paint it!</p>
</div>Walk through your gardens or scan the space you are looking to add a particular element to.</li>
<li>Take photos of the garden/space to help you imagine a piece you may be considering.</li>
<li>Make a list of specific items you want… of course I often discover more that just have to come home with me.</li>
<li>Decide size of item desired, color schemes if applicable, number of items needed, etc.</li>
<li>Think out of the box. If you find the perfect crate but its brown and you want white- paint it! If you want a distressed look, sandpaper will do the trick.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you stumble upon that perfect element and fall in love, buy it or you’ll always regret it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p dir="ltr">A messy garden is not a vision to behold and is evidently in dire need of attention. For parents with children, it is often difficult to maintain a neat and orderly lawn. Thankfully, there are storage bins that you can use to remove the clutter. These organizers and bins let you store your tools and unwanted blots, such as your kids’ toys.</p>
<p><strong><strong><br />
</strong></strong>Several varieties of <a href="http://www.tesco.com/direct/home-garden/garden-storage/cat3375571.cat" target="_blank">garden storage bins and boxes</a> are available to solve your storage problems. What you choose will depend on the things you need to hide, how big your garden is and of course your budget. You can select from plastic boxes, wooden chests, and metal storage. There are also storage options that you can pin on the wall. Perhaps the largest storage that you can buy today is a shed where you can place garden furniture, the lawnmower and other huge stuff. If you want a more petite size, there are smaller boxes that can easily fit rooms or your garage with limited space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Simple DIY Storage Box Instructions</h2>
<p><strong><strong><br />
</strong></strong>While there are many sorts of garden storage bins and boxes, you can always make your own. The good news is you don’t need woodworking skills to take on this project. You only have to provide these things:</p>
<ul>
<li>Screwdriver and screws</li>
<li>Sandpaper</li>
<li>Hinges</li>
<li>Level</li>
<li>Drill and saw</li>
<li>Pencil</li>
<li>Measuring tape</li>
<li>Plywood sheets</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><strong><br />
</strong></strong></p>
<p>Ideally, the plywood sheets should be half an inch thick. Once you have all the materials, you can begin the task. Take the tape measure and decide on the size of your storage box. Write down the depth, width, and height or simply mark the area. Depending on the size, draw four pieces of rectangles or squares on the plywood sheets with your pencil and tape measure. Cut the four out using the saw and remove the cracks or splinters with your sandpaper.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><div class="simplePullQuote"><p>A messy garden is not a vision to behold and is evidently in dire need of attention.</p>
</div>Create a rectangle or square by lining all the pieces up on their sides. Make sure that you have the front and back pieces overlapping the bottom of the side pieces. Drill the arranged box and screw them to finally produce a strong frame. Establish a horizontal plane using your level tool and make sure the frame is even. Again, cut two more rectangles or squares from the plywood sheets. These pieces will serve as the lid and bottom of your homemade storage box. Attach them as before and fasten the hinges on the longer side of the box (the bottom). Do the same with the other end, which is your box’s lid. One hinge section should be on the inner part of the lid while the other should be in the box.</p>
<p><strong>And there you have it – a nice, homemade storage box. It is quick, easy and cheap. Plus, your garden will be finally free from clutter.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div>
<p>Tucked away in the southwestern corner of the United States, San Diego landscape design captivates visitors who encounter laid back, coastal living with garden styles offering tropical getaways to contemporary <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/design-styles/asian-style/japanese-garden/">Japanese</a> Zen creations.</p>
<div></div>
<p>Home to miles of beach land, San Diego is blanketed by mild Mediterranean weather that produces dry summers and for the most part – wet winters. This means that creating fine outdoor settings that additionally complements the climate requires knowledge regarding suitable plants for the coastal wonderland of San Diego.</p>
<p>&#8216;Plant selection is an important aspects of landscape design,&#8217; says San Diego landscape architects Glen Brouwer and Larry Sheehan. &#8216;The other important thing is to create an outdoor space that meets the needs of the client.&#8217;</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/modern-landscape-design-300a.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="300" align="left" /></div>
<p>Glen, Larry and their team at <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/find-and-pro/preferred-pros/integration-design-studio/">Integration Design Studio</a> demonstrate the flexibility of a contemporary design by integrating pools, outdoor spas, dining areas, and other functional landscaping features into yards of all sizes.</p>
<p>One San Diego landscape design project of theirs, a hillside property with limited outdoor space, was transformed into a personal paradise. An enchanting stone pathway leads through flourishing greenery, connecting a series of courtyards with outdoor living areas tailored to meet the needs of the homeowners.</p>
<h2>Embrace Your Surroundings</h2>
<p>Some of the best inspiration for <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/california/california/san-diego-ideas/">San Diego landscape design ideas</a> is seen in the styles decorating upscale communities, such as La Jolla with Mount Soledad offering some of the most spectacular views spanning northern San Diego to Mexico. Coronado and Point Loma Peninsulas separate San Diego Bay from the ocean, where you&#8217;ll find Coronado Shores, a luxury condo complex that uses outdoor lighting and <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/design-styles/tropical-garden/tropical-garden/">tropical landscaping</a> to create a tranquil oasis.</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_2a.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="300" align="right" /></div>
<p>San Diego is a location where Tuscany-style residences mingle with heavily Mediterranean-styled homes amidst breathtaking coastal bluffs.</p>
<p>Lying just north of Mexico, the city shares a border with Tijuana, which constantly influences some of the architecture and design styles of gardens in the area.</p>
<p>Landscape designers have also found ingenious ways of incorporating naturally rocky terrain with exquisite sitting areas, benches, boulders, birdbaths, patios, and bridges.</p>
<p>However, a great deal of San Diego landscape design success lies in choosing the flowers and plants that best thrive in the Southern California climate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Flowers and Plants Ideal for San Diego</h2>
<p>The type of plants you select for your San Diego landscape design dreams becomes an important investment. For example, the hillsides of Carlsbad have become quite a tourist attraction, offering visions of some of the best flowering bulbs for <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/design-styles/mediterranean/mediterranean/">Mediterranean styled gardens</a> and climate, including:</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_11.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="275" align="right" /></div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Babiana</strong> – African flowering plant</li>
<li><strong>Freesia</strong> – produces funnel shaped flowers in white, yellow, pink, red and blue-mauve</li>
<li><strong>Watsonia</strong> – South African native and relative of gladiolus</li>
<li><strong>Oxalis </strong>– easy to control plant with purple leaves and pale pink flowers</li>
<li><strong>Anemones</strong> – perennial herbs that come in shades of yellow, red, pink, blue, purple, and white</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, this doesn’t mean count traditional bulbs out. Early blooming tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils (Jonquilla and tazetta) are still favorites of the region.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>San Diego Garden Styles</h2>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_6.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="125" align="left" /></div>
<p>• <strong>Shade Garden: </strong>Situated in northern San Diego County, the hidden gem of Escondido provides a shining example of a shade garden, a type of <a href="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/ideas-tips/gardens/specialty-gardens/">specialty garden</a> which takes advantage of full shade with collections of pink Ribes (currant), the Pacific Coast iris, and blue Ceanothus (wild lilac).</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_7.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="125" height="125" align="right" /></div>
<p>• <strong>Desert Garden: </strong>As you brainstorm for ideas that mirror the laid back yet sophisticated atmosphere of San Diego, allow the artistic display of the Desert Garden at Balboa Park spark your imagination with the more than 1,300 plants that stretch across 2 ½ acres. While the peak blooming worldwide period is observed from January to March, the unique shapes give way to interesting succulents and drought-resistant plants.</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_8.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="125" align="left" /></div>
<p>• <strong>Southwestern Flair: </strong>Southwestern style landscape is quite popular in San Diego landscape design where yellow Encelia (brittlebush) and orange Sphaeralcea (apricot mallow) make great companions to local desert shrubs. Why not couple a corner adobe fireplace with surrounding Spanish wrought-iron accents and soft outdoor lighting?</p>
<div><img title="San Diego landscape design" src="http://www.landscape-design-advisor.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/san_diego_landscape_design_10.jpg" alt="San Diego landscape design" width="125" height="125" align="right" /></div>
<p>• <strong>Exotic Appeal: </strong>Perhaps you&#8217;d like to reflect the spirit of the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego by installing a koi pond dotted with lilies and vibrantly colored fish. Weave a relaxing path throughout your yard that leads to an herb garden, tea pavilion, or majestic waterfall. Consider a cherry tree grove simply for the scent of blossoms wafting in the air. Keep in mind that juniper, snowberry, azaleas, coffeeberry, manzanitas, and irises also channel the Far East.</p>
