Landscaping Your Yard and Surroundings
Get started on your yard!
Do you live in a rural area? Or are you a business owner in a rural area?
If so, the landscape brochure“Together, we can create a more beautiful landscape!” might be just what you’re looking for.
Our rural areas are home to various farmsteads that form an important part of the landscape. These farmsteads stand out in the landscape. Your farmstead also contributes to the landscape. The brochure may give you ideas on how to better harmonize your farmstead with the landscape. The brochure contains information about:
- the different types of landscape
- the different types of yards
- examples of native plants
- Tips for landscaping your yard, including guidance on greenery, fencing, electric fencing, lighting, and nesting areas for animals
