Landscaping Tips and Hints

My family landscaped for many years and I want to give you some hints.

Never plant a tree in front of your house as it makes the front yard look short.

Plant bright flowers close to the house and soft colored flowers at a distance from the house as it gives the yard depth.

When planting shrubs, make sure the bushes have different textures and shades to enhance the look of the yard.

Can you give me any advice about using old tires as planters for flowers and vegetable growing? Thanks
