What happens here

Begin by assessing the current landscape around the house. Identify areas requiring new edging, decorative rock, removal of existing plants, and regrading for improved drainage. Note specific problem areas such as wash-outs and existing ineffective landscaping features like concrete block planters. The project includes addressing areas near the house foundation, along the driveway, and around patio spaces. Mark out the planned layout for edging and rock beds using marking spray paint.

Goal: Identify work areas and plan the landscaping layout.

Tools and materials

  • Marking Spray Paint — Marking the planned layout on the ground
  • Measuring Tape — Measuring distances for precise layout
