What happens here

The presenter emphasizes the long-term nature of this project, estimating it will span approximately two years to ensure all work is completed to a high standard. He details plans to build up the lower sections of the yard using a combination of dirt and strategically placed rocks, aiming to create more usable flat areas and a gentle, natural gradient. Additionally, he considers the removal of certain trees to enhance views and discusses alternative drainage strategies, such as creating natural 'paths' for water flow if a continuous rock wall is not feasible in certain sections.

Goal: Strategize the phased execution of the landscaping over multiple years, ensuring proper grading and tree management.

Tools and materials

  • Trees — Potentially removing or pruning to improve views and accommodate new landscaping features
  • Dirt — Building up lower parts of the yard to achieve desired grading
  • Rocks — Creating retaining features and defining landscape tiers
