In general, there are too many examples of the overâ€"use of everâ€" greens. All too often they occur within the same area and add to the monotony that exists through the repetition of the same or similar plants. Evergreens are excellent but if used alone will not create sufâ€" ficient interest in the overall compusition.

Avoid the use of too many tall, pyramidal plants as acâ€" cents around the home, especialâ€" ly if it is a long bungalow type.

Such plans are easier to live with and much less expensive to carry out. These are some of the most imâ€" portant items to consider when landscaping your lot. The most important point ofâ€"all, though, is to keep the plan simple and uncomplicated. Screen planting or area dividâ€" ers may be evergreen or deidâ€" uous shrubs or may be construcâ€" ted of wood, masonry or plastic. If you require a high yearâ€"round screen plant, I would suggest a red or Scots pineâ€"the red pine on heavier soils and the Scots pine on light, sandy types. Plant here also annuals and perennials to provide color, as well as bold groups of such striking plants as hostas, yuccas and cannas to provide subâ€"tropiâ€" cal and exotic effects, or geranâ€" iums to provide plain brilliant eolor. § Gravel paths, flagstones, log slabs or even shredded batrk may be used to indicate direction in, through, around and between areas of special use. Most of the outdoor activity will be concentrated in the area of the patio or terrace. If there are no existing trees, this is a spot where one tree can be used to create shade and beauâ€" tiful patterns of.light and shadow on a paved surface.
