Hi I need advice on my garden which is sadly overlooked. Behind the shed and playhouse is the boundary fence but as you can see I’m very much overlooked. Can you make any suggestions please

Certified ExpertA.I think it looks lovely! Not sure what you mean then by overlooked. You have a nice curved boundary on the left garden, and all is nicely mulched. You have a good variety of plants and coloration. If you wanted to add more you could extend the curved garden back toward the shed. I can see where some pruning might be needed, the tree on the right, and some of the plants are growing a little close together. Other than that, I love it!

April 30, 2021Q.Front Yard Design Help
We are trying to replace everything that the builder put in the front yard. Front yard gets full sun to partial shade. Attached is a current photo and a photo of a possible design. We are looking for lower maintenance and want a sophisticated, more traditional look. Choices are Wintergreen Boxwoods, Crimson Fire Loropetalums, Apricot Drift Roses, Beyond Blue Festuca and then Blue Point Juniper with Radiance Abellia around it. Do these choices work well together? Are there better choices/replacement suggestions for anything? Anything to be aware of with any of these? Thanks!

Certified ExpertA.That is beautiful. The only think I might tweak is the same round shape repeated too many times. Everything looks round. Add some softness with natural shapes, too.

Certified ExpertA.You need to dig into the soil and some will need to be deeper to allow for the adjustment in height. A leveler will help to judge.

June 26, 2021Q.Recommend Intuitive Garden Design Software For Win 10 PC Or IPad App
I want to diagram my flower beds so that I can refer to it throughout the seasons when planning and to remember what I planted. Have searched the web and not satisfied with limited results. Don't want a really complicated landscape design program. Suggestions much appreciated.
