How To Measure Your Property?

How do I measure my home and property, so a Landscape plan can be drawn?

It is easy, but it is important that that measurement and details are accurate.  The better the site details but the better the final Landscape Design will be. The picture below shows many of the measurement that should be made. Take the necessary time to do the job right.  Good Luck!!

Now Let's Start Taking The Measurement
Of The L
ot


    "Note" Be Sure To Write Down Each Measurements

1.  Let's begin at the left corner of the property at the street and measure down to the driveway edge.
2.  Then continue to the nest edge of the driveway.
3.  And on to the lot corner  Again make sure you write down the measurements as you proceed along.
4. Turn the lot corner measure down to a point straight out from the corner of the house.
5.  Continue to the next corner of the house as shown on the plan.
6.  Proceed to the lot corner and proceed to the next corner.
7.  Now we will go back to where we started at the street and measure up to the back corner of the house to the front corner where you started.

Now, you are ready to measure the House.

Start at the left corner, proceed to the edge of the first window to the other side of the window and to the corner. 

Continue taking measurements all the way around the house including the driveway, walk, patio and from the corners of the house over to your property line.  Make sure you have written down all of the measures as you proceed around the property.

Now you might ask, how do I locate the trees present on the property.  From the corner of the house, straight out to the street make sure you have the tape lined up at the same angle as the side of the house.

Lay the tape down on the ground, go back to where the first tree lines up with a mark on the tape and that is the measurement that you write down.  Now at a right angle, measure over to the tree.  Now proceed down the tape to where it lines across to the next tree and over to the tree.

Go to the back corner of the house and repeat doing the same thing Measuring the tree location and any other existing items. 

After you have all of the measurements as shown on the drawing you are ready to draw your landscape plan using a scalke of maybe 1" = 10' or on a small lot maybe 1/4" = 1'.

I have a great online landscape design service on the web site where you are now.  Your drawing that you have just completed along with pictures of your property and a list of items that you would like to see included in your soon to be landscape yard will provide
my creative designers what they need to create a "Master Landscape Plan".

 Select Plants with Double DutyIncorporating

Opt for plants that deliver on both aesthetic and functional fronts, such as lavender or nasturtiums. The lavender adds purple hues and a delightful fragrance, while nasturtiums are not only colorful but also offer edible blossoms. These types of flora epitomize the essence of an edible, functional garden.

Embrace the Art of Design

Incorporating the art of design into your edible landscape allows for a visually rich and practical garden. Experimenting with diverse elements, such as contrasting the fine leaves of dill against the broad foliage of kale, creates an eye-catching tableau that is also ripe for harvesting. With this artistic approach, your edible landscape becomes not just a source of food but a feast for the eyes as well.

Show Off Your Work

Once you’ve crafted your edible landscape, why not show it off? Especially if others are interested in learning more about what you do, hosting a get-together could be a great idea to share information and foster a deeper sense of community. You can even take things up a notch by sending out invitations; use this free invitation maker to stand out and make everyone feel welcome!Thoughtful Clusterings

Adopt a methodical approach to your edible landscape by clustering plants based on their requirements for water and sunlight. Basil and tomatoes are a good pair to grow together, as both thrive in sunnier spots. Through such thoughtful clusterings, each plant enjoys its optimal environment, contributing to a garden that is both lush and fruitful.

Share and Profit from Your Experience

Launching a YouTube channel to share your edible landscaping journey can be both educational for others and profitable for you. Consider making your venture more official by registering an LLC in your respective state. The benefits of establishing an LLC for your venture are manifold. Limited liability shields your personal assets, tax advantages can be substantial, there's generally less paperwork involved compared to other structures, and the operational flexibility allows you to adapt as your business grows. This confluence of benefits makes an LLC an ideal option for turning your passion into a thriving enterprise.

A Space for Mindful Livingfunctional furniture like a bench or hammock takes your edible landscape from merely practical to invitingly livable. These additions offer a place for you to unwind, turning your garden into a tranquil oasis for mindful living. Beyond enhancing your immediate experience, this strategy also adds tangible value to your property.
