7 Easy Steps to Create Your Dream Yard: A Beginner's Guide to Stunning Landscape Design

[@joshmoore1292]

My fiance sent me this video and said this will change your life. Backstory: we have been trying to strategically plan our Outdoor area for well over a year. We have been smart, but slow. We want to do it right and have been scanning youtube for a video just like this. Long story short, she was right. This is a gamechanger and we have spent the day today on our needs analysis. I very much appreciate you! Keep them coming!

What an awesome story, thank you for sharing. I hope everything goes well with your landscaping projects! :)

Ditto for me. I've been planning a garden/flowers for a yr my front yard gets scorching evening sun and back yard faces SE(morning sun) 1/8 shade. Zone 8a #plantselection 👀

Thank you! Very helpful for our new home project. And...the cameo of Louise Bourgeois - spider sculpture!

[@GardenTheory]

Glad I could help! :)

[@ryancouture2508]

He said Native plants!!!! Hell yeah!

[@GardenTheory]

Always! Haha

[@japanesemaplepruning]

Many of the native trees in the Pacific Northwest at least are no longer suitable…

The google map measurement trick is a game changer thanks!

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

Your timing is great with this video! A friend asked me to help with planning her landscape. I've been gardening for many years, but never really had a formal plan developed for my own yard. This will help tremendously!!

[@GardenTheory]

That's awesome, glad I could help! :)

The algorithm served me up this video. Glad it did. Went back and watched your other landscape design video too and subscribed. You do a very good job explaining things at a level those of us who are design inept can understand. I'm a halfway decent gardener but somewhat paralyzed by design. This was very helpful. More please.

Thank you for your lovely comment! I do my best to put out a video every Saturday!

Thank you so much for this video! Last year my husband and I downsized to a small 1886 Victorian cottage in PA. We love the location and parts of the yard are pretty but the previous owner had a very chaotic gardening style --- almost EVERYTHING is mis-matched but not in a fun cottage garden way. It's just messy and crowded with broken statues and random pieces of fencing he found during garbage day. It's been a huge job to edit down the pieces and get it to enough of a blank slate to even start to see clearly. When you mentioned the "flow" of the garden and how we will be walking thru/using the garden space something really clicked for me. I have some thinking to do but this bit of info helped a LOT!! 🙂

Thank you very much for this video!! I don't have a lightbox, so I used the sliding glass door to let the light through so. I could see better to trace ( im older & my eyes aren't so good). Best to all!!

[@lizmichaels]

Pretty informative, I'm looking forward to your other videos.

[@GardenTheory]

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’ve consulted but never have been properly instructed. Blessings, Al Gunne 🌱

[@hannahkaiser5110]

You're very creative but also methodical in your teaching. Thank you for this video

[@pongop]

Great video and very helpful! Thank you!

[@GardenTheory]

Of course! :)

[@tiga4ka44]

Thank's so much! Very interesting, I would love to know more!

[@GardenTheory]

Thank you! We'll have a new video every Saturday!

[@pb6224]

Wow. A lot of good info! Thanks. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[@GardenTheory]

Thank you!

[@di_7413]

Interesting! 💡

[@janetta5827]

Great video, very informative. Looking forward to more....so I subscribed. 😊

[@Ivyana5]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I wish my permaculture instructors had taught basic landscape design. Left me with no clue as to what to draw on the base map.

[@cc-dd8ip]

I think you should teach how to use the program you mention on google earth in another video Also show how to use lightbox related to this topic

[@GardenTheory]

Great idea, I might make a KZbin short or a short five minutes clip going over some techniques and tips.

[@dannylawson366]

Great video, I'm about done with what I've done but you've confirmed most of what I've done. I did not know about the ability to measure on Apple maps - thanks!

[@yuraplus3]

Great content. Good luck with your channel.

[@GardenTheory]

Thank you so much!

If you’re worried about return on investment, you probably shouldn’t own a home. The purpose of a home is to live your life, raise your family, and have a place that is yours until they haul your corpse to the graveyard. That being said, make your yard your own.

[@di_7413]

😁🔥

[@susanmetz9892]

Great info, but I guess I’m just too dense to comprehend all the paperwork, planning and diagram descriptions.

[@GardenTheory]

Sorry for the late reply, but basically it's the idea that form follows functions. So if you list out what your needs and wants are for your space and try to loosely space it out on a base map it will help you to figure out the best way all the things you want will fit together. It's mainly for helping you design a plan for your whole space instead of tackling one project at a time without an overall picture.

[@Karina_Engr]

I’m into zero scaping and ornamental grasses. 😂

[@valeriecoleman3588]

Where are you located? I need you here…

[@GardenTheory]

I don't currently offer any landscaping services but if you have any questions I'm happy to give you my two cents on them.
