am looking for a way to help see my landscaping and gardening come together before I start planting and landscaping. Any ideas of websites or tools that let you put in a design of your house and fencing and start from there?

There are many, many pieces of design software on the market today. From professional versoins costing thousands of dollars to free versions. So I think the best thing to do is give you a couple of links and chech out the free software from google.

Grow Landscapes was featured on the recent TLC special quot;10 Ways to Improve The Value of Your Homequot;. This landscaping was installed in ...

I have some of friend and relatives asking for design their home garden. Honestly said since I do learn the subject and practices it, kind of common sense when you use to hang with the thing again and again. May I know what is the problem your're facing when you're try to do you own landscape/garden design :)

Scale is the biggest problem. Most people plant things like they will never get bigger. Consequently they plant them too close to the house or too close to other plants or they plant too many plants for a given area. If a person can imagine what the plants will look like in 10 years, that's the best way to design, unless you have been trained.

I've always enjoyed working outside with the earth and plants. I thought about becoming a Landscaper for awhile but now I'm into computers. Just tonight I saw at this College's website that I am thinking about going to, they have a major for Garden Design. Does that help with becoming a landscaper for a business like that?

Why not major in Horticulture with a minor in landscape design or architecture. That way you get the best of both worlds. You will learn about growing, living, plants and turf as well as learning how to apply this knowledge into designing it yourself before the installation. Of course you will need to have courses in botany as well as soil management or sciences and a course in entomology wouldn't hurt either. If you can graduate with at least a Bachelors you will have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in the landscape field. In the meantime, during your summertime break, you can find seasonal work with a local landscape company. This will be a way for you to get your hands dirty and learn the trade first hand. A couple of seasons working with a good contractor, along with a degree, will get you well on your way to owning your own landscape company. Good luck!
