Landscape Design for Your Whole Backyard
To make the most of your
landscape design think
of your entire backyard as you do the floor plan of your house
with a very high ceiling! – it will help you outline your
landscape design and garden design and how
you will live in your backyard space.
Imagine
the trees from the nursery, the concrete truck pouring and
the gravel from the stone yard all arriving at the same time
and you don’t have a clue where you want them to go.
It will
be useful to have a landscape design sketched out before you begin.
Planning your landscape design will help you to think
of all the ways you can use and view your backyard space. What
activities will happen in your landscape?
What will your landscape design look like?
How will you view your gardens and patio rooms from inside
your home?
How
will foot traffic move through your space?
How can openings be lined up to provide a long view?
Will you want a special view from each room?
The
lines and shapes on your landscape plan will reflect your taste and
style – the look and lifestyle you want.
The perimeter of your swimming pool or patio, the straight or curved serpentine path,
the shape of the lawn…..
For
more on your style and taste

Check
out Taste Test Workshops here.
You
will define your patio rooms
in your landscape as you list the activities of your
family’s outdoor lifestyle.
Let each area stand on it’s own connected by paths
rather they are stepping stone paths or solid walkways.
Each patio room and your paths should visually complement one
another
Start
thinking about your transition from inside to outside - then
the floor surfaces and how they will all connect all your
outdoor spaces.
Once
you have your overall landscape design plan you can start
implementing one patio room at a time. You will find
