Creating a home garden should be well planned. If not carefully planned, it will only create a bush and littering the landscape.

A garden was created in order to bring the beauty. Whether or not a garden is beautiful determined on softscape and hardscape materials, color composition and shape, and overall harmony of design.

Some of the planning process are often ignored because it seem trivial, but actually very decisive beauty of the garden later. Following points should be observed, so that the garden is actually created in accordance with our expectations.

Two key things to prepare is preparing garden designs or concepts and technical preparation. Preparation stage in this matters are engineering and drawings design in accordance with the concept of garden design desired.

Making the landscape, preparation of electrical and water installations, it’s arrangement, and determining the point of planting is a few things that must be summarized in the concept design created.

This design will serve as guidelines for subsequent plans. To create this design, one should consider some technical work. The following is complete description:

Preparing Land

These activities include excavation work and the reversal of land, hilling,  and addition of fertilizers or addition of nutrients in the soil. In addition to prepare land for crops planted and ready to have the appropriate contours of our expectations, this process also frees the land from weeds that will interfere the future plant growth.

This process is often overlooked because we often directly plant so that the results are often disappointing: the plants die and do not grow well because of disturbed weeds.

Creating Garden Construction

In this process, planning and making the path taken. This element is important for the circulation path in the garden so that all activities undertaken in the garden do not interfere with future sustainability of the growth of plants and other elements. In accordance with the extent of the garden, design and materials, the path can be made in a variety of options.

Defining Hardware Garden elements (Hardscape)

Which includes the hardware elements of the garden are various pots, rocks, lights, and other accessories that will be used as a complement the garden, both functional and aesthetic role.

Elements of Software garden (Softscape)

About colors (flowers and leaves) jugs into something that must be considered because it determines the splendor of the garden to be created and harmonization of existing colors.

The character of each plant concerned: the speed of growth, canopy shape, resilience in responding to the weather (both hot sun and rain / water), determine the choice of plant species that will be used.

Planting and position of Hardscape

Crop planting starts from the protective plants (high) and so is the lower plants to plant ground cover. The spread of small stone, gravel, stone step, and the installation of garden lighting and other accessories made after planting.

The spread of small stones preceded by laying the coconut fibers below the stones to  maintain the water circulation so water can seep into the ground and garden not flooded.

Land Cleanup

The last step is cleaning up activities to the rest of the garden work. After the garden clean from trash, you must provide sufficient watering. And then performed routine maintenance such as pruning and regular watering
