My husband and I have been in our house for 2 1/2 yrs, and still haven't worked on the landscaping. Being our first home, I don't have much experience w/ designing lndscp. Any ideas?
Hi, there's a lot of interactive programs you can download for free. If you search online, look for one called realtime landscaping. You download it, you can even take a picture of your own house and pick your plants, trees etc. Some will even let you "walk through the yard" and "see" what it looks like.

I want to be a landscaper and design landscaping layouts and then do the work as well. What sort of degree do I need and how long will it take?
I'm a landscape designer, but I got all of my training for free, because the high school I went to provided that as an option for a class. But here is the school I'm going to for interior design, this is a real school and accredited.

We just finished building a earth-sheltered home. Earth-sheltered home are homes built into the side of a south facing hillside. I plan on doing the landscaping myself to save money. So I need to do some looking into basic landscaping design. I've done the landscaping with my other homes that have had grass and few trees before, but never any thing from scratch. I do have big equipment experience. So that is not a problem for me.
I guess the equipment you use will depend on the plans you decide on and the terrain of the property. I personally would use the internet for information on landscaping and ideas.
You have a plethora of options available

Can anyone recommend a website that I can use to design my own landscaping ideas? I'm looking for something free and if possible, something I don't have to download. Just looking for a website where I can try some things to see how they look. I'm not creative enough to just look at my lawn & see in my mind what it will look like. :( HELP!
Something along these lines?
Good luck
Have heard of sites where you can actually design landscaping around your home probably with a downloaded picture
Actually it would be an upload since you would be uploading to their site, not downloading from it. And you'd have to buy software, but once you have the software, you'll find many uses for it. Sometimes you can join a garden club where they have a software library.

ยป Energy Efficient Windows Effect On Your Landscaping @ Green ...
Energy Efficient windows may be a great savings inside the home, but their effect on your landscaping can cause you just the opposite situation, as magnified rays are reflected from your windows directly onto vulnerable leaf tissue.
For several years I have observed the damage in turf grass and garden plants caused by the radiant heating that comes off of new energy efficient windows. In areas exposed to full summer sun for more than 8 hours a day, I have measured temperatures up to and exceeding 160 degrees beamed directly onto plant material. Plants that normally seem healthy fall through spring will begin to show leaf scorch, and die back to the ground. Areas around your house that were lush and green prior to your window installation now look dry and damaged through the hottest summer weather.
How To Discover If Damage Is Due To Energy Efficient Windows:
...What#39;s Your Idea of an quot;Idealquot; Landscape?
People respect creativity, especially when it is fused with knowledge, a can-do attitude, and an appetite to take on massive projects. I suppose that's why, on the American TV series, Seinfeld , George Costanza likes to pretend he's an architect. Many of us, I believe, like to daydream about having unlimited resources at our disposal and using them to create something magnificent.
For those of us who enjoy landscaping, such daydreaming can take the form of visualizing an ideal landscape. Of course, your "ideal" landscape might be different from mine, since the term is subjective. So I put it to you: If money were no object -- nor time, nor ability -- what would constitute an ideal landscape for you?
Here's your chance to lend wings to your dreams and let your imagination soar. Click the link below and pretend you're a landscape architect, charged with assembling the landscape to top all landscapes. What would take center stage in that landscape? What would be the overriding theme? Would your landscape design mimic nature or look like something out of a fairy tale?
