Hi, I’m Andy Robinson, the Landscape Renovator. We’re here at the design studio and that’s where we need to get started.
I had Bob’s project. You know Bob’s project needs a lot of help here. So first thing I’m going to do is make a plan. Now it may seem kind of clich? but how would you know what you’re doing if you don’t have a plan. First thing I do is come up with a scaled architecture drawing. You don’t have to do it architecturally you can put it on a yellow pad of paper, that’s okay. But what I do is I grab my scale. I come out here. Now take the dimension of Bob’s project and I say, okay this wall here is 12 feet. I find 12 feet on my scale. Draw it out.
Now I know that I have a good measurement here so that when I go to start putting my plant material in here, I’ll know what I’m going to do. So if I say, hey, I’ve got this bush it’s going to get 6-foot wide, I grab my circle template, I find it with my scale, 6-foot, put it in the plan, draw 6-foot so I know that I’m not going to be over planting it or putting a bush that is going to get too big in that small space. So again, make a plan because in Bob’s project, you know if you don’t make a plan, you’ll not going to go anywhere. This place needs a great plan.
It’s another great landscape renovator tip because remember, great yards don’t grow on trees that’s why you need the Landscape Renovator.
