Believe it or not, the best planned yards are not random! Planting in odd numbers, and adjusting the spacing can create an even more beautiful effect!
There are many places you can plant your bushes, flowers, trees, and more! Keep these in mind when designing!
Not sure of what you want your yard to look like? In the real world, you are going to spend a fair amount of money on your yard, there is nothing wrong with getting some inspiration from others who have also designed their yards!!
