That's exactly the mistake we made the last time we landscaped. We ended up with overgrown beds and the need to constantly move plants. Needless to say, we spent more than we had to on larger plants. The way I figure it, living in Florida provides ample growth season; before you know it the design looks lush rather than sparse. If I felt otherwise, I wouldn't have elected to build rather than buy an existing property. I do love the landscaping I've seen all around TV-one of the many characteristics that sold me on moving there!!!
