2. Soil Preparation: Prepare soil by adding organic matter and ensuring consistent pH levels.
3. Watering Schedule: Establish a routine watering schedule based on plant needs and local rainfall.
4. Mulching: Use mulch to retain soil moisture, insulate the soil, and suppress weeds.
5. Insect Resistance: Choose pest-resistant plants and implement natural pest control methods.

Technical Considerations:

1. Material Selection: Use sustainable materials like weathered wood, stone, or natural metals to reflect a bygone era’s aesthetics.
2. Design Tools: Utilize software like Hardscape Studio for precise layout planning.
3. Climate Adaptation: Select plants that thrive in your region’s
