Landscaping is -a valuable investment (NC)-If summer conjures an image of restful hours spent swinging on a ham- mock between two shady trees but the only veget ation growing on your prop- erty is a few tufts of grass, you may be considering a landscaping project this spring. Landscaping is not only soothing to the eye. It is an investment in your home. If you plan Iandscaping wisely, you can keep your home cooler in the sum- mer. cut winter heating costs, cut down on diii and mud that get tracked into bouse and grow fresh vegetables for less than you would pay at the supermarket. Generally, th ere are five things to in- clude in yourlandscaping project. Keep in mmnd that the fruits of your labour will flot show overnight. The development of a property takes time, usually, three or four years. Shape of. the ground: Take ad- vantage of natural features on your lot such as rock outcroppings, trees, and uneven grades. Surroundings: You may have a well-wooded area or a stunning view near your house. Plan your landscaping se il will not interfère with these fe'a- tures. Climate: Canadians like to make the most of the few short months of porch, place i! in a sunny spot. sheltered from the wind. Vegetable and flower gardens will thrive if planted in a south- ern exposure. The view: 'ne views from the win- dows, size of the house and the location of its doors wilI affect the way you plan your landscaping. The smaller the lot, the more important planning becomes, because every bit of space counts. Family: 'If you hiave children or pets,ýyour garden will probably be used mostly for themr to play in. Keep this in mind when planting flower beds or a vegetable garden. No matter how good the plan, it can- flot be implemented if the lot itself does flot carry away excess water. If the siope, or grade. is flot steep enough, water will run into the house or form puddles on the ground. Backfill can be placed against the founidation to create the desired slope.
