Essentially a landscape design is a floor plan for an outdoor area.
Just like a floor plan, a landscape design is a visual representation of a site, using scaled dimensions.
Landscape designs are used to plan the layout for an outdoor area, like a personal garden plan or a commercial plan, for a business or community area.
They are also useful when there is a need for new installations, repairs or when planning for outdoor events.
Landscape plans can include both natural and man-made elements, as well as overlays for irrigation and lighting.
Creating a landscape plan, can also assist in selecting the right materials and gives the owner/contractor, a tool for cost estimation and completing the project within a budget.
The following steps need to be included in the development of your Landscape Plan:
- Creating an outline
- Incorporate existing features
- Create ground cover
- Add new design elements
When designing your plan, look at some existing examples of landscape designs and plan.
There are even templates that you can use, to help you develop your own unique plan.
