Abstract

The grounds surrounding our houses are a useful and important part of our homes, winter, summer, spring and fall. Most of us wish that they were more useful and better to look at. They can be if we plan well. The first step is to make a plan on paper. This will show all the changes to be made now and in the years lo come. The next step is to put the plan to work. This includes cleaning up the grounds, making changes shown on the plan and taking care of the grounds. This is landscape architecture. Most of the changes will be easy to make and they won't cost much. A few can be made each year. If you follow your plan each change will be one more step toward your ideal arrangement for all the grounds around your house. Hit-and-miss changes won't give you what you want. The home grounds is a family affair; so let every member in on the planning, work and fun.
