Landscaping can be broken down into three major categories, such as plantings, mulching and turf. Within each of these three categories, there are many subcategories that vary considerably in the types of products used, their effects on the environment and methods of maintenance. One of the most popular forms of general landscaping is the use of natural grass and a variety of plants that grow better in the soil they’re grown in than many other plants. Mulching and edging can be performed around a home as well as throughout the entire landscape. Depending on the type of climate you live in will determine the types of materials that you will need to use for your landscaping.
When talking about the actual use of this product, it’s usually in the form of a ground cover, which is typically a type of grass. There are several different types of turf, and you can have a field that has a constant lawn or one with bushes or trees all year long.

One of the most important factors when considering any type of general Landscaping is the edging. Edging marks the border around a landscape and helps to define it. It can also be used to delineate a sidewalk, or to direct traffic between various areas. Many times when planning a new general Landscaping project you may already have an existing border in place. If this is the case, you can use that as a pattern for the edging around your landscape. There are many different types of borders available and the one that will work best for your landscape will be dependent upon the amount of space available as well as the general look you want to achieve.
