The summer sun is bearing down on everyone. You find yourself easily agitated and annoyed by the simplest things. You are not really an angry individual. It just so happens that summertime is too warm this year and your household does not have enough vegetation to shield you from the heat. If you want a little more comfort in your home, you should start planting trees and shrubs before you start sweating out all the possibilities of having a good day.
Planting trees is easy. All you need to do is select a proper location, and then you can dig away. Of course, having a theme for your garden would be nice, since the trees and shrubs that you’re about to plant will eventually enhance your garden’s design. The quickest way to create a theme for your garden is to browse through several landscaping handbooks and home improvement magazines. Those avenues can certainly help you spot the right places where you can plant trees and shrubs. For all you know, you might make a home version of the hanging gardens of ancient Babylon.
For starters, here is a quick and easy way to plant shrubs and trees to create a classic-themed garden. Think of your garden as a framed photograph with the shrubs as the frame, the trees as the border and a luxury ornament as the picture. Surround your entire garden with shrubs and leave a space for the walkway. At the middle of your garden, place a fountain or a majestic-looking ornament. This piece will take center stage as the plants surrounding it will act as wonderful sidepieces. Plant a couple of trees on every side of the ornament with a distance that is equal to the width of the walkway. To make the walkway complement the design, you can pave a path made of marble or stepping stones. Ideally, the path should go straight then go around the central ornament. Finish your classic garden by planting fine grass on all the empty spaces. Once the grass, the shrubs and the trees grow, you will have a garden that looks like something taken out of a fairy tale.
Planting trees and shrubs always go better if they conform to a theme that you particularly like. You will love the whole set-up and your household will also be blessed with cooler air given off by those plants.
