How do you decide where to place the foliage though? How about setting up patios and things like that?
Excellent question!
-I've found that over-doing it can just clutter it up. !!!
-I've looked at others landscaping from the gallery for ideas.
-A theme of the house/lot/neighborhood is usually what I go with.
Unlike some, I try not to have the edges of the lot filled and not synchronous, in other words looking out-of-place compared to the hard-programed landscape outside the lot. Generally I try to have the edges blend at the borders.
-Also, I try not to fill it all up at once, but leave it open and un-cluttered for filling stuff in later based on my own whims as I play.
Here's an example. I have done quite a bit more since this screenshot. But like I said 'baby-steps'. ;)
