A beautiful landscape can easily mesmerize a homeowner and guests, but don’t make this one crucial mistake when designing your landscape layout and the plants you want to use.

When you are considering which plants to use, research what is required for maintenance, how they react during seasonal changes, and how often they need to be trimmed.
