Do you want to spruce up your landscaping to add some curb appeal without making a major home improvement?  Do you want to add the right landscaping to add that stand out finishing touch to your new siding or new paint job but don’t know where to begin?   No need to panic, here is a helpful tip to start you in the right path.

Start out your new mission with a complementary color wheel.  Yes, it’s that easy.  All you need to get rolling is a concept and the best way to break the ice is with planning the color scheme.  You already have the main color on your house, so you’re half way there.  This is where the complementary color wheel comes in.
