I know I’m a little late getting into this video, but here goes. As a licensed landscape architect with 44 years of practice, let me suggest a few things when getting started doing a landscape plan for your home. First, find a copy of your property plat map with the surveyed boundaries of your lot and use a copy of that (with a good scale) as your base plan. If you can’t find that, hike down to the county or municipal courthouse and get one from the tax folks, they have all of the property plat maps. Second, check with your utility people to see where all of your utilities enter your property and extend to your house, especially those underground (avoid those when digging). Third, either by sight, experience or by measurement, determine how water flows across your property during a heavy rainstorm, note where there are swales on your property or where water accumulated during a storm. Fourth, determine where the sun rises and sets during each season with respect to your house (which way does your house face? North, south, east, west?) and where large trees or hills might cast shadows on your property. Fifth, be aware of your neighbors’ landscape features, and adjoining streets, streams or public spaces. Now, start writing all of these details on and around your base plat map before starting your landscape design. Then begin to identify (just use blobs) the public, private, maintenance and other zones around your house and the connections between them (walkways, lawn areas, etc.) before you start locating plants and other landscape features (I.e. ponds, decks, patios, play courts, etc.). Then start doing what this video tells you about placing plants and beds. Remember, plants GROW and need some space if they are to reach their full potential, don’t try shearing a sequoia😀 good luck. Oh, if this is a bit too much effort, hire yourself a licensed landscape architect, he or she can do what you need.
Great advice
They are not WEEDS, they are native plant species
Appreciate your cheat sheet!!

BSc horticulture?? Where?
Amazing
I used a paper and pencil to design our backyard lol it worked out really good then did a collage of the stuff I wanted that was the easiest way for me to design
This video is actually really helpful 👌🏽i have a big backyard I wanna landscape and i just dont know where to begin
Actually well explained, I like too...
One way to start is by identifying the existing trees and then establish where to plant new ones, walkways, driveways, sitting areas, kids playground, ponds, flower beds, etc. Try that we see if it can help!
@@Chimbwe thank you!!
@@Camilasolleiva you are welcome!!
@@Camilasolleiva you look like you got a big backyard 😩
nice tips
Whats the name of the software you used to create this landscape?
Mindfulness. 😇
Sorry what program you used in your design in the video

Hi, what landscape design software was used for this?
Normally I'm "ok" at designing but for some reason I'm pretty nervous about the landscape of the front of the house. I have a clean slate with bricks in front and I'm just trying to get the height and placement together ... while looking up perennials that do well in the sun/shade. I hope I don't plant anything that'll grow to block the window... trying to avoid that
If this is a app that they used to make the design in this video, someone please let me know as I need to make a backyard design for a job.
Great Ideas tried my best, any suggestion. for improvement?
Landscape student here! Just contact me if you’re in the Phoenix area!
I am in the northern AZ area.. but am stuck with ideas
hi there, agricultural student here! can we discuss stuffs! hahahaa
I'm in the Phoenix area
It's the same colorway as you can see that it has been the best in this series for me and rogerDid
What software you use for the designing?
I would also suggest that you leave enough room for the plants mature height. If a plant is going to get 6' wide then you need to leave that much room around the plant to it to grow and mature. Crowding the plants will create a maintenance nightmare.
creations landscape designs I would also suggest that if it is going to take more than one season for a plant to reach its mature size, under plant it with annuals as they are easy to delete and will provide pops of color that you can change up each season while the core plant matures
1:58 It said that
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover landscaping ideas front yard try Loctavan Beautiful Landscape Strategy (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
@@gardeningmadeeasy5442 So another thing I would suggest is my pompous attitude overrides anything anyone actually listening to the video might've heard, disregard that info and just listen to me bc I clearly skipped thru the video then decided to make a repetitive comment.
@@spacemandrew ?
Metal fences with adequate climbers are much better aesthetics. The help other flora/fauna, reduce noise, allow wind flow and provide privacy without the intense hedge maintenance
I'm new to this, but at 1:25 what are those large stone tiles in the yard? Are they just stone tiles? Lol. I'm trying to find some to purchase, but don't know what to search for.
Pavers
Nice ideas & video, but as usual its mostly for larger acreage (because $ellers love the big $ale), but I wish someone would do/show ideas for average homes that most people have. Most of us are do-it-yourself-ers because we can't afford pros or 'estate' gardens; but we like our lil homes to look good too.
if you look into balcony gardens, they have so many ideas that can fit to small gardens
@@himalmathi I hadn't thought to use more selective niche search wordings... just looked under gardening; I'll try that... thanks.
I agree. I have an average suburban back yard, pretty much a blank slate with no trees or bushes. Not much of a budget at this time. I'd be interested in some design ideas that can work on a little at a time.
Good 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Also to keep in mind how it all will look like in different seasons and how you will utilize those zones in winter.
This movie is very helpful for me😳
hello, what programm was used to landscape a plan bird view?

La traduction en français stp
I'm a foreigner, new resident in NYC tho. Could someone suggest me where can I study Garden design as a career?? Thank you.
You can look for colleges that do horticulture degrees or certifications
I’m having trouble visualizing how I can use this information and after seeing the huge houses and layouts in this video. I’d have to use my yard and two neighbours’ yards or a local park.
?
I'm afraid of cutting irrigation wires if I start digging in the ground too much.
Call 811
Wires or pipes? Your location will determine how deep your pipes are. In Florida, they are about 6-10 inches deep. Turn your sprinklers on and mark the location. Remember that the pipes run in straight lines. You can figure out where the pipes are by where the heads are. If you are planting in a bed where ther is irrigation, pay attention to the sprinkler head location. If you aren't sure, dig with a small shovel.
Step 1: Get a house with a large backyard
Grass tells truth
나는 우리 선생님이 보여주신 비디오에 대한 에세이를 쓸 필요가 있다. 그리고 다행히도 나는 그가 우리에게 보여준 비디오 중 하나를 발견했다. 그리고 이것은 나에게 많은 것을 인도해 주었다. 그리고 또한 고마워.
I agree

Summary
The key steps in designing a landscape plan include:
1. Drawing a plan of your yard, including key features like hills, sun/shade areas, and privacy concerns.
2. Identifying your goals, such as areas for dining, play, relaxation, or gardening.
3. Making a wish list of current and future goals.
4. Adding goals to the plan, starting with larger items like patios or decks and filling in around them.
5. Considering your house's exterior style for design inspiration.
6. Using plants strategically to define areas, create visual interest, and complement your overall design.
7. Planning pathways to connect different points of interest in your yard.
8. Adding water features and landscape lighting to enhance the ambiance of your outdoor space.
These steps can help you create a well-thought-out landscape plan that suits your needs and preferences.
Plants can be used to define areas and create visual interest in a landscape by following these tips:
1. Beds with clean lines can define areas and points of interest, while curved beds tend to look more natural.
2. Use plants strategically to decorate your outdoor space, similar to how you would decorate the interior of your home.
3. Choose a few colors that work well together or avoid too much variation in small areas.
4. Mix up texture and size to add visual appeal.
5. Layer the heights of plants in your beds, placing the tallest ones at the back and the smallest ones at the front.
6. Consider the mature height of plants to prevent them from blocking windows.
7. Select perennials for plants that grow back every season and annuals for plants that need to be replanted each year.
8. Plant in odd numbers for a visually appealing look.
9. Use bushes or wider plants along the house to soften corners, but keep large plants a few feet from the foundation to prevent root damage.
By incorporating these strategies, you can effectively use plants to define areas, add visual interest, and enhance the overall aesthetic of your landscape design.
When incorporating water features and lighting into a landscape design, consider the following tips:
### Water Features:
1. Adding a water feature, such as a small pond or fountain, can add tranquility and a touch of nature to your outdoor space.
2. A small pond installation can be visually appealing and provide a habitat for plants and fish.
3. Fountains can create relaxing sounds and help mask noise in the environment.
4. Consider using a statue or tabletop fountain for small spaces.
### Lighting:
1. Highlight different areas of your landscape with landscape lighting, such as uplights or spotlights for trees, floodlights for beds, and path lights for pathways.
2. Use lighting to illuminate your landscape for nighttime enjoyment and visual appeal.
3. Incorporate lighting design principles in your backyard, front yard, and side yard to enhance the overall ambiance.
4. Keep maintenance in mind when selecting lighting options and consider how much time you want to spend taking care of your yard.
By following these tips, you can effectively incorporate water features and lighting into your landscape design to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space.
