Home landscaping is projected to create an eye-catching and congruous surroundings for the house, and attractiveness and expediency for the people living in the house. Before doing some planting, right before the very first seed is placed on the soil a complete and detailed landscape plan should be developed to ensure the success of the landscaping activity.

The yard divides into three major areas: the front area which is the part closest to the street and easily seen by people passing by; the service area which is the space allotted for garbage disposal, delivery, storage, and laundry area; and the family area which is place that houses the garden, play space, porch, terrace or patio.

For a striking front area, plant masses such as shrubbery should be placed around the base of the house to unify it in with the natural environment. The front entrance is the most significant facet and should be decorated by the planting. In general, the front of the house shrubbery should create a bowl-shaped boundary, lower at the center and taller at the corners. If shade is necessary, it is best to plant a minimum number of trees. Too much shade may cause dampness in the house and make growing a lawn and flowers more difficult.

Surface grades must be planned so that rain or melting snow will drain away from the foundations of the house. Terracing is generally the best means of achieving a good lawn and a successful garden on a steeply sloping lot.
