A Landscape Design Diagram is much like a
floor plan except that it is for an outdoor area. It maintains the actual
dimensions of the area on a much smaller scale and normally includes any
surrounding floral accents and natural aspects of the area while also
incorporating lawn furniture, outbuildings, the type of ground covering used,
or whatever else you choose to include.

It is best to use for a landscaping project
or to plan the layout of an outdoor event. The design allows for a broad
overview of the area and aids the decision, while considering special and
financial restrictions as well, of what is to be done with the area.
Best Practices:
Identify a space: Decide on the area to be
depicted in the diagram. This may be difficult due to the open nature of an
outside area, but the Landscape Design should illustrate only the area that is
subject to the landscaping or the location of the event. Be sure to draw
everything to scale so that the diagram is accurate and well-planned.
Create the area: Begin by drawing borders
of the area to indicate an end to the diagram. It might be the edge of a
garden, the end of the yard, a fence, or any other area beyond which the
landscape is no longer pertinent.
Add ground: Fill in the area with the
appropriate type or types of groundcover (such as grass or asphalt) that is
already in place or that will be added during the landscaping. It may be useful
to apply textures for a more accurate depiction of the area.
Add permanent features: Add any rocks,
waterways, buildings, poles, slopes, etc. that cannot or will not be moved
during the landscaping process. Be sure to use the correct symbols and colors
for these as well. In the end this aid in the imagination of the area when it
is complete.
Add additional features: Now add any
additional shrubbery, flowers, plants, walkways, stairs, lawn furniture, pools,
pool houses, sheds, gazebos, buildings, fountains, artificial rocks, etc. that
you plan on adding or that were already there.
Put to use and store: Use the diagram as a
guide for the project. It may be useful to store the diagram for future
reference.
