Landscaping mistakes can be surprisingly easy to make and could result in a yard that's uninviting, impractical, or eye-wateringly expensive. So, if you're about to plan a garden makeover, it's worth being aware of the potential pitfalls.
All your garden landscaping ideas should be weighed up with a good deal of consideration and planning before being put into place. For instance, a paved area might seem like an obvious choice. But, if it's too small, poorly positioned or hard to keep clean, then you may want to reconsider your options. Mistakes don't just revolve around hardscaping, either. Choosing the wrong plants can lead to an ongoing struggle to keep them alive. At the more extreme end, it can lead to structural damage or invasive plants that are hard to control.
