You make it sound so simple! Now to give it a try and put it into action! Thanks for the great tips!
Some like gardens some like salvage each there own.
Hi, Whilst I am in a private nightmare(😞!) of 'planning' out my small garden; with ideas & the practicalities for privacy from close neighbours etc:~after waiting 34yrs & now a small Budget….. Your informative 'Vid' was very well received & brought me back to reality! 😁Thank you for sharing. Rosie 🦓

I'm just here to learn landscaping for my teapot in genshin.
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
Thank you..
Me: so… copy and paste 😉
Okay, but HOW
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 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.
What app is thiss
👍
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.
Amazin, thank you
Beautiful.. 🌷🌷
420 time I appreciate that.
Shut your hole, sweet dreams 😤😘😤
Thanks
2:30 I mean, you could use corn. The odds the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson pops out of it at 3AM is trivial.
It’s a very nice explanation, even my parents agree
Surprisingly good video that gives a lot of ideas on what to think about.
Grass tells truth
Please SKIP the landscape lighting. Light pollution is real and is bad for both humans and wildlife.
Landscaper: What would you like?
Me: This.
Landscaper: This is a screenshot of a youtube video?
Me: Yes. Yes it is.

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
