You may also want to compen- sate for a sloping yard by installing some terracing. You should also check your property for drainage. Ideally, your yard should slope away from your house; there should be two or three feet of fall for every 100 feet of horizontal land. If you do not have adequate drainage, you may have to install a drainage system. When you begin planning your landscaping scheme, keep in mind that trees and bushes don't grow to their full proportions overnight. Envision how your proper- ty will look in future years and take this growth factor into account when deter- mining the space you allot sult with your family to make sure you consider everyone's needs and ex- pectations when for- mulating a plan. Also make sure you take existing features like walkways, decks and patios into account. After you've carefully thought everything over, try putting your ideas down on paper. Work from a base plan which outlines all your existing conditions. Then lay some tracing paper over your base plan and draw in your rough plans. Now is the time to examine all possible variables, so redraft your drawings as often as you want before settling on the final concept. Your final drawing should consist of a working draw- ing which outlines your plans in great detail. If the work is fairly exten- sive, or if you don't have the what your design is and what types of plants you're going to use, make all the necessary preparations before buying your trees and shrubs. Clean the area that is to be landscaped and remove or transplant any trees or shrubs to accommodate your design plan (in some municipalities you may need a permit to remove trees). To mark the sites of the new flower and shrub beds, form an outline with a garden hose, then coat it with spray paint for a per- manent marking. To remove sod, use a sodcut- ter. Cut the sod into strips and gently roll it up. Keep it in a shady location until you're ready to re-use or replace some of it; other- wise, it can be composted or discarded. - Check the Layout It's a good idea to lay out Fax: 475-3629 Fax: 642-0713 REDUCED TO $499, SRE ORR . for each item.
