Designing a Large Backyard: From Overwhelmed to Master Plan

Large fenced yard with slope and trees? Follow the 6-step design process: 1) Plot plan (scale map). 2) Site analysis (sun, access, utilities, easements, steep spots). 3) Needs/desires (what you do: entertain, garden, play, pets). 4) Activity areas (where each happens). 5) Design each area (materials, plants, features). 6) Plant selection LAST.

Design outward from house. Budget limits everything. Example: car-collector estate with wheelchair-accessible concrete trails and sitting areas. Your life shapes the space.
