Americans spend tremendous amounts of money landscaping their homes. Much of this money is wasted, however, because of little or no planning. Homeowners Guide To Landscaping will guide you every step of the way, from creating a base plan to choosing plants and trees and landscaping for energy savings.

Without a base plan where you have properly studied the site and created a design plan with landscaping materials and plants that meet the needs of your family and community, the results can be disastrous and costly.

You can discover the joy and beauty of having a wonderfully landscaped yard with the help of Homeowners Guide To Landscaping.

For Example, Let Me Give You One of the Simple Planning Exercises Found In This Do It Yourself Landscaping Guide

Steps For Drawing The Base Plan

Step One: Indicate the compass directions in relation to the house by drawing an arrow (N->) pointing north. You may also want to show the direction of the rising sun. In winter, the sun rises a little south of east and sets a little south of west. In summer, the sun rises somewhat north of east and sets somewhat north of west.

Step Two: Measure each property line and record the measurement on a rough sketch. If a plot plan of the lot is available, you can use the dimensions shown on it.

Step 3: To make sure the house is parallel to the property, or if the property lines are not parallel, site a reference line along one side of the house to locate the reference points "A" and "B".

Step 4: Accuratley locate one corner of the house by measuring the distance from the back edge of the curb or edge of the street and nearest property line. From this corner of the house, measure each side of the house.

Step Five: Begin constructing a carefully drawn plot plan by selecting a scale to work with (1/8"= 1' or 1/4"=1') or by using graph paper. Begin by drawing the curb line as a double line or street edge as a single line. Construct property lines in the same manner as they were measured. Indicate compass directions.

Step 6: First of all, note the city easement line, which is legally city property. The city may remove any planting or construction within this area for street widening, sewer work, etc. The exact location of this line will vary according to city ordinance. Next, locate one corner of the house using the two dimensions measured from the street and side property lines. From this point, extend a line representing the front of the house the same number of feet measured. Do the same for the remaining sides of the house until you return to the original corner.

Step 7: Locate other existing features on a rough sketch by using the same method used for locating the corner of the house. By measuring from known reference points, such as the street, property line or house in two directions, the following permanent features can be located:

Windows, doors and chimneys, including the height off the ground.
All above and below ground utilities.
Utility meters, electrical outlets and water spigots.
Natural or prominent features such as retaining walls, ravines and rock outcroppings.
Existing trees and shrubs.
Neighbor's buildings and landscape features near the property line.
Roof overhang on house.

All of these features should be measured and drawn on the rough sketch before drawing on the final plan.

Step 8: Transfer the information plotted on the rough sketch to the final plot plan. The plot plan is now ready to be used as the base for a home landscape design.
