Planning out a backyard is something that many homeowners have difficulty doing. It can be hard to look at the blank canvas of a landscape and decide where to put the patio, how to scale the retaining walls, and where to put the pathways. Here are some tips to make that process just a little bit easier.
To start, think about how you want to use the yard. Do you want to use it for entertaining or relaxing? Deciding this first will help you determine what features and amenities you want to include. It will also help you begin to visualize where you want to place these elements.
Once you have determined these aspects, it is possible to then decide what types of materials you want to incorporate and build everything from. For most landscapes, it is best to match the home as much as possible. Thus, you will want to look to your home for visual cues when selecting everything from color, to the shape, material, and size of the hardscaping you want to include.
