<human>:  I recently acquired a property and want to landscape it. Can you suggest a few ideas and tips to make it visually appealing?
<bot>: Start by creating a plan for the space. Decide on the areas you want to focus on and the types of plants, shrubs, and flowers that would be best suited for the space.2 Incorporate elements of hardscape such as rock beds, retaining walls, and walkways to give the space structure and a strong visual foundation.3 Consider adding trees and structural plants to form the backdrop of the garden and provide texture, color, and height.4 Use plants with different leaf shapes and colors to create visual interest and contrast.5 Place flowering plants in strategic spots to give the garden a pop of color.6 Install lighting and water features to provide balance and atmosphere.7 Finish off with decorative elements such as benches and statuary to add a personal touch.
