It is not all that easy to always come up with your own landscaping ideas as there can be so many aspects that need to be considered. In fact, it's most likely that the majority of people are going to need a little help with their landscaping plan.
The good news is that there are plenty of tips and broad outlines that you can find on our website that you can adapt for your own landscaping design, although you will find it much better to invest in a good book or two on all aspects of landscaping.
It is crucial that you put some serious thought and consideration into the landscaping project, so being able to find the perfect landscaping ideas are essential to your success.
You should start by taking a walk around your property in order to get a good sense of what can be done. See how good the drainage is and check out the slopes and levels of your property.
This way you will get a basic idea straight away. The more things you take into consideration the easier things will be. It would be terrible to choose a landscaping concept , start work only to find that it cannot be completed halfway through due to some aspect of your property.
Now before you choose the final landscaping design that you are going to use, take a little extra time to learn the underlying basics of landscaping.
This is absolutely imperative if you have never done any work like this before. If you are new to the whole world of landscaping then you will definately benefit from reading a good book on the subject.
One such book I have come across has 7000 design ideas, which is more than enough to get that old grey matter working. In fact I was really impressed with this book and have included a review below.

professionals, and even most of projects are asey enough that they can
be completed in a weekend.

easy to follow guide, and some great value books included as well, such
as the organic vegetable farming guide, which I've found to be very
