Why and How -.
To Make Plans
For Landscaping
Why landscape a home?
For most people, the self-
evident answer b the right'one
--to improve the appearance of
the home. Another reason has
great importance. Beautiful
landscaping increases home
ue, too.
When to do landscariing?
• This question is more corn-
plea, since it usually involves
another: How to pay for it? -
Many.older homes need a re
' newal of landscaping, because
plants have grown too large for
available space or have become
untidy or diseased. And many
newer homes need additional
landscaping. The plantings
around the brand newhorne may
be very basic --a lawn'; a fe w
Shrubs and trees.
Yet the homeowner who '
wants landscaping •is likely to
have other demands' on his fi-
nanoes..-711.1e's-paying ,forrir r:
home; or, if it's an older hone,
he's paying for major home im-
provements such as new siding.
He may wonder about taking on
the added responsibility of pay-
ing for a complete .landscaping
job.
In many cases, landscaping
costs can be added to an exist-
ing mortgage, ifthe same bank
handles both the loan and the
mortgage. Other types of loans.
to finance landscaping. are
available from banks and saving
and loan associations. Or, nur-
serymen may offer their o w n
financing plans.
For the homeowner who pre-
fers to arrange for landscaping
on a cash basis, there's a sim-
-piesolution: Do it step, by step.
Start with an over-all plan
for the final effect desired, and
take care of most urgent land-
scaping needs first --foundation
plantings or replantings, for ex-
ample. A "garden living room"
might be next. Other plantings •
can be added as time and mon-
ey permits..
, Additional pleasure for the
family comes from watching
the home landscaping grow.
How .to choose the right land-
scaping plan?
The homeowner's creativity
can be brought into play here, -
and a look at neighboring prop-
' erties may suggest ideas, too.
However, professional advice is
usually called for.
Local nurserymen can pro-
vide helpful information on
choosing trees and plants best,.
for the area, landscaping for
year-round beauty and low
maintenance, providing proper
drainage --and many other point-
ers to help homeowner and fam-
ily get maximum value and en-
joyment from landscaping.

effectively; in the garden, light-
ing highlights various landseap-
* features.
Several types of garden light-
ing units are available to draw
attention to the work of a green
(thumb in garden and shrubbery
,,areas of the yard. These units
range from various types of
walk lights to spot lights. Near-
ly all of these fixtures are de-
sfgned to blend inconspicuous -
1r• with their surroundings.
t In most cases, the exterior
appearance of a house,.can be
irpproved immeasurably by
dressing up the entry way. An
easy way to do this is by the
addition of a pair of flanking
' otrsdour- wall -bracket lighting -
ibctures on both s id es of the
ddor. Keep their size in bal -
.-ante with the house.
Post lights. too, add .a tre-
mendous amount of personality
to a home. Now, inanyare
available in extra high,, double
lantern models, very reminis-
cent of the light posts of by-
gone eras.
These units give the yard and
entry way of a home an extra
dimension, as well as providing
'a safe passage along the walk
or driveway to the door.
In situations where ahsize-
able overhang projects from the
house, perhaps above an entry
door or perhaps along a wall
above a patio, : fixtures' hung
from chainsand matching the
wall brackets and -yard lights
are used to add a family look to
outdoor lighting, and of course,
provide additional illumination.
Many post lanterns, w a 11

ARE ROSES' PINK/
Pink is, a favorite rose color
in this country --but one gar-
den's pink is another garden's
orange. Color of roses may
vary greatly according to soil,
location or even season .of the
year.
fixtures are also easily found in •
the modem manner. Loc al
lighting centers carry a com-
plete line.
Most outdoor lighting efforts
are further .enhanced by the use
of an electronic dimmer that
varies the light levels from to-
tal darkness to full brightness
with the turn of a knob.
The nice thing about such •
home improvements asoutdoor
lighting is that these projects
can be planned totally, well in
advance df 1nstailation;' and'
then done in stages, depending
on flexibility of the budget.
