Planning Your Yard

An important aspect of landscaping is surveying your yard. A lot of people skip over this vital step because they already know what they want in their yard. This is a big mistake! Without first properly scoping your yard you won’t know what’s possible. You’ll need to consider things such as available space, hills and dips in your yard, sprinkler systems, and so on. You’ll also need to consider where your large trees will be casting their shade. A good rule of thumb is to start from the largest, or tallest, foliage first then work down to your smaller pieces. This will allow you to look at your yard as a whole and know what’s feasible. Once you’ve figured out how many large trees you’ll have and where they’ll be situated you’ll be able to plant smaller things, like your flowers, shrubs, and vegetables.
