New Designs.

I've never tried landscaping.  Now, I'm contemplating doing the backyard once the topsoil and up gradation is finished.

How should I go about it?  There are many Home Improvement and Garden magazines lying around so I'd probably consult and copy some designs.  

Cleaning the yard is the hardest part. There are two huge trees, Banaba and Kamias, which dump tons of leaves all day.  There are caterpillars which have become pests. There are left over wood and trash from previous renovation. There are three dogs creating a mess.

The front and side of the house is allright. They've got tiles and plants, and there's a grotto which is lighted all night.

There are those who want to live in a house because they want the feel of the soil. They want to do gardening, they want to arrange and keep on re-arranging furniture and decor, they want huge bathrooms, they want industrial kitchens.

But then there are those who want to live in condo and apartment buildings.  They want spartan spaces, they want garbage and snow removal, they want 24-hour security, they don't like raking the leaves nor watering the plants.

I am adaptable; I can live anywhere, in a condo or in a house, as long as the structure and surrounding are clean and organized.

My next project is the landscaping of the backyard.
