Planning a Home Landscape For Beauty And Value
Kansas State University extension horticulturist Gus van der Hoeven urges careful upfront planning to create an inviting easy to maintain home landscape. He advises studying sun exposure, screening unwanted views, and determining features like lawns, patios, and play areas before heavy construction.
