    My fiance sent me this video and said this will change your life. Backstory: we have been trying to strategically plan our Outdoor area for well over a year. We have been smart, but slow. We want to do it right and have been scanning youtube for a video just like this.
    Long story short, she was right. This is a gamechanger and we have spent the day today on our needs analysis. I very much appreciate you! Keep them coming!

    The algorithm served me up this video. Glad it did. Went back and watched your other landscape design video too and subscribed. You do a very good job explaining things at a level those of us who are design inept can understand. I'm a halfway decent gardener but somewhat paralyzed by design. This was very helpful. More please.

    Your timing is great with this video! A friend asked me to help with planning her landscape. I've been gardening for many years, but never really had a formal plan developed for my own yard. This will help tremendously!!

    Thank you so much for this video! Last year my husband and I downsized to a small 1886 Victorian cottage in PA. We love the location and parts of the yard are pretty but the previous owner had a very chaotic gardening style --- almost EVERYTHING is mis-matched but not in a fun cottage garden way. It's just messy and crowded with broken statues and random pieces of fencing he found during garbage day. It's been a huge job to edit down the pieces and get it to enough of a blank slate to even start to see clearly. When you mentioned the "flow" of the garden and how we will be walking thru/using the garden space something really clicked for me. I have some thinking to do but this bit of info helped a LOT!! 🙂

    Thank you very much for this video!! I don't have a lightbox, so I used the sliding glass door to let the light through so. I could see better to trace ( im older & my eyes aren't so good). Best to all!!

    If you’re worried about return on investment, you probably shouldn’t own a home. The purpose of a home is to live your life, raise your family, and have a place that is yours until they haul your corpse to the graveyard. That being said, make your yard your own.

    • @GardenTheory

      Sorry for the late reply, but basically it's the idea that form follows functions. So if you list out what your needs and wants are for your space and try to loosely space it out on a base map it will help you to figure out the best way all the things you want will fit together. It's mainly for helping you design a plan for your whole space instead of tackling one project at a time without an overall picture.

      Yes! It's always important to recheck for measurements though. :)
