Landscaping Design

This course takes you from a blank yard to a buildable landscape plan you can draw to scale and stake out on the ground. You will learn to survey and map your property, read sun, soil, slope, and views, and turn that analysis into a concept plan that balances paved and planted space. You will size paths and patios for real human movement, grade and drain water away from the house, choose edging that holds a clean line, and build planting schemes around the right-plant-right-place principle so the garden looks full and stays low-maintenance. No software engineering and no guesswork, just a tape measure, graph paper, and design methods landscape professionals actually use.
