Landscaping a garden is one way of adding a specific design to your home. It is an easy and sensible way of making the outside of your home look beautiful. However, problems may arise in maintaining a landscaped garden.

It is unlikely that you want a driveway or walkway to be a dominant feature in your yard. When you are planning these areas, you should allow enough space for them to be fully functional--to allow enough room for the traffic they will receive--without being overbearing. Ideally, you should design your home so that the garage is close to the house and near the street. Having the garage near the street and close to the home will make less pathways necessary.
