Good landscaping does not only make your home look good but it also significantly affects the value of your property. Not all landscaping can have a good effect on the home. This is where the importance of making sure the landscaping enhances your home comes in.

Another consideration in making a tropical yard landscaping plan is making your home more appealing and distinctive in relation to the other houses nearby. Either you evoke an overall welcoming feeling to your visitors or erect a small privacy screen to conceal a particular aspect of your landscape from prying eyes. It's up to you.

Images of waving palm trees, lush tropical plants, native or aboriginal statues and artwork can add to the tropical effect you may be yearning for. You must not of course the most basic of tropical environments, that is, a profusion of greenery and exotic blossoms.

Where should you put your tropical foliage and blossoming plants? Can a water feature be added? Is a small stone or gravel pathway possible? Is a patio viable and if so, what cover or roofing can you used? Can outdoor art or sculpture be incorporated to complete that tropical look?

After you have ensured that the climate and soil are conducive for tropical planting, then it is time to plan the garden layout. The garden layout must be a picture of both functionality and practicality.

After the shade cover comes the establishment of understory plant species which can very well be the stars of your tropical landscape.

Pathways made of stone and gravel that take you around your tropic inspired yard may be the next thing to consider.
