Beautiful Landscapes Are All About Planning

These days, people are investing in their homes. It's a safe bet, and you get to enjoy your investment each and every day. But that investment isn't limited to interior improvements. Making an investment in a beautiful landscape is a trend that continues to grow. There's amazing opportunity to create everything from simple curb appeal to breathtaking backyards.

Most people, even those who can choose paint and coordinating fabrics with ease, are a bit intimidated when they approach their landscape. What items will bloom when? What height will that shrub grow to? How can you best enhance the features of your home?

To the rescue: the Yard and Garden Designer. With this online tool, you can transform your yard into a lush oasis or private getaway. Let your imagination run wild - design a garden from scratch! Or, if you'd prefer, go to the yard gallery and choose from a wide range of original garden designs.

Once you're ready, you may want to do it yourself over time (don't try to do it all at once - you can become disillusioned, run out of money, or worse yet, abandon the project). Your local John Deere Landscapes Garden Center can help you plan out the project and choose all the right materials.

Often a better option, however, is to share the plan you've created with a professional contractor. These guys really know their stuff and can help you make the most of the features you desire. They'll often ask questions about your lifestyle and your family to help craft the ultimate landscape for the way you live.

To get a referral for a contractor you can trust, simply call John Deere Landscapes at 1-866-4 Yard Pro or fill out an online request. We'll take note of whether you're interested in irrigation, water gardening, paving stones, or other landscape enhancements and send up to 3 contractors your way so that you can choose someone who is a pleasure to work with.

Plus, many of our contractors can now offer you financing through John Deere Credit. With financing, you can make your landscape dream a reality today. There's no "some now, and some later." And with great financing offers, you're sure to be able to achieve your dream landscape.

So, get going! Design the perfect landscape and find the perfect person to help you make it happen - all from John Deere Landscapes.
