Landscaping is important because your home is viewed by onlookers relative to its surroundings. You need to convey a sense of continuity to ensure that the curb appeal of your home is not diminished. Any space left fallow would spontaneously become prey to weeds and unwanted undergrowth that would be hard to manage at a later date. Decking up the available space around your home would add to the glamour of your home and provide you with a place where you can sprawl out and lift your spirit up.

Meet a landscaper
Landscaping is a specialized job. Only a certified and experienced landscaper can help you out with ideas that can lead to optimization of available space.

Develop a plan
The decoration of the land would depend largely on the space available and soil quality. If you want to have designer plants deck your backyard, you need to have the soil sample tested to ensure that sufficient nutrition is available to support plant growth. Additionally, you would get insights into ways you can enhance the fertility level of the soil. This exercise would help you plan the undergrowth without having to struggle with plant survival issues.

Keep a water source ready
Water offers sustenance to plants. Alongside this, the presence of a water source near your house would also improve the quality of air. Consider having a fountain established in the front of your house. Alternatively, you can have the land trenched in a manner that a small stream can snake through the plants.

Install decorative pieces
You can have a pergola to support plants with fragile branches. Under the shade of pergola, you can have a variety of exotic flowering plants. Also, you can get a gazebo built where you can share few moments of joy with your loved ones. Setting up exquisitely chiselled sculptures is a good option. This would give your home a distinctive visual appeal by heightening the aesthetic quotient of your backyard.

Get lemon grass planted flanking your deck
Lemon grass has intense greenish tint to it. They are easy to maintain and mow. They can thrive on little water. The lush look lemon grass imparts to your space is simply unparalleled. The main deck through which you walk up to your home entrance can be flanked with lemon grass to give your exteriors a desirable facelift.

Landscaping decisions should be judiciously taken after factoring in the overall topography and looks of your home for best outcomes.
