Backyard Landscape DesignCreate eco-friendly naturescapes Design a sensible, economical, low-maintenance, backyard landscape design as a special space to relax, do entertaining, or enjoy with your family, friends, or kids. Use your creativity to make the space fun and interesting as wildlife habitat for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Plan an energy saving front yard garden design for low-impact and sustainability. Choose a landscape design for your climate to conserve water and energy that can accomodate shade trees for summer shade, interesting foilage, and a variety of textures and colors to provide lovely naturescapes through all seasons. Take advantage of free online landscape design advice and use a plant encyclopedia to help you select hearty, native plants perfect for your climate and conditions whether you need a tropical garden design, a drought-tolerant rock garden design, or something in between. Leave some land undisturbed for bee habitat Since most bees are attracted to weedy, untended shrubby-hedges and they love to nest in dry, sunny places, (they keep the internal temperature of the hive at 93.5 degrees!) it is important to protect and support beneficial bees and wildlife by preserving wild-lands and allowing undisturbed land along property lines, at the edges of farmed lands or gardens, in woodlands, and beside creeks. Ground nesting bees require a dry, sunny spot with undisturbed soil to establish their home whereas some bees prefer woody areas and could be happy living amongst a pile of branches, inside bamboo sections or hollow reeds, or between blocks of untreated wood.
