Some free landscaping ideas:
You can get many free landscaping ideas by just looking around at your neighbor’s gardens, and they are always flattered when you ask them questions, so you can get lots of free advice also, while picking up some pros and cons of various things to do or avoid in your own plan. Look at the local parks, or at public botanical gardens, too, and be sure to jot down things that catch your eye, and answers to inquiries you have to the folks who are working in these places. If you see a fancy house with a well tended yard, it is always better to skip the owners who live there and instead try to wait for a day when the yard workers are there, because they are more than likely the ones with the real info about what goes where and how it all works together to create the pretty beds or lush turf you like.
You can get plenty of free landscaping ideas from your own landscape contractors. When you interview them to find those you want to hire, ask them to show you pictures of their own designs and work. They can also take you on a tour of the local nursery, and the two of you can work as a team to plan the flowers and other plants and trees that you want to use in your own landscape at home. Some will do this for free, because they know that the more you work together the easier the job will be, and the more plants you buy, the more money they themselves will make over the long run.
Also take advantage of the internet sources for all kinds of free landscaping ideas, and do a search to bring up sites with all kinds of info, that you can then print out. If you print out your free info, you can staple it together into a booklet, and them you have not only the free info, but now you have a free booklet to put on the shelf of your garden shed for years of easy reading and reference material.
And there are many, in fact hundreds, of companies who deal with plants, gardening, and such things that will send you not just catalogs but all sorts of free landscaping ideas in print, if you just ask them for it.
