Growing plants throughout your landscape may not be that challenging, especially when you decide to go with native ones that do well in your climate. But, you may be interested in growing edible plants that you can harvest with your family and use for cooking in the kitchen.

If you are worried about not being able to grow these plants successfully, you should hire a landscaping design company to help with all of the planning and execution.

Raised Garden Beds

An effective way to make growing plants a bit easier is by getting professionals to install raised garden beds in the backyard. This is where you can make sure the soil that gets added is ideal for giving plants the nutrients that they need to thrive. Another benefit of using raised garden beds is that you can protect your plants from critters such as rabbits since they cannot jump high.

When coming up with a design, you can get landscapers to add legs if you live in a climate that gets heavy rainfall as this will prevent you from having to worry about flooding in the surrounding area. Getting proper drainage for the garden beds is also helpful for keeping plants healthy.

Fenced Area

If you want to grow plants in the ground, you may be worried about the chance of them getting damaged or destroyed with your children, pets, or wild animals roaming around the yard. This makes it worthwhile to hire landscapers to create a fenced-in area where you can do gardening.

When you make the whole area somewhat small, you can maximize protection by adding a netting over the top that can stop birds, squirrels, and some bugs from getting to the plants.

Fruit Trees

Another option for getting edible food from your backyard is growing fruit trees. While you could try to grow almost any fruit tree, you will find it most beneficial to work with landscapers to determine which ones have the greatest chance of growing successfully. This will prevent you from having to invest so much time and effort into keeping fruit trees healthy and producing.

If you do not want to wait a long time to start getting fruit harvests, you can rely on landscapers to bring in growing fruit trees that only need another year or two before growing fruit.

Hiring professionals to grow edible plants on your landscape will help you enjoy the most success.
