Six Key Backyard Planning Considerations

There are many factors to consider when designing your backyard.

Use and Purpose

You must first consider the use of your backyard when designing it. You will need to work with your client to determine the intended purpose of the space: entertainment, cooking & eating, gardening, relaxing and swimming, or just plain playing. Is it intended for adults or young children? Don't forget about your pet's needs.

Environment & Climate

When designing a functional backyard, it is important to consider the environment and climate. Shaded vs sunny areas, wind and temperature all play a role in the design of a functional backyard.

Planting Zones

It is important to determine the best zones for planting based on temperature and rainfall. These will ensure that all your hard work in gardening doesn't go unnoticed. These are easy to identify.

Divide Your Space into "Rooms"

Your outdoor space does not have to have walls as an interior space. However, it doesn't mean that it cannot have other "rooms." These could include wildlife zones, cooking and dining areas, vegetable gardens, and sports areas. Think about what you want, and then figure out how it can be integrated into your backyard.

Connect the Areas

After identifying your backyard spaces, you will need to plan how to connect them. You can choose from more elaborate concrete or wooden walkways, or simple stepping stones.

Locate Utilities

Before you start planning your backyard, make sure to find out where utilities like pipes and other utilities are located. This will help avoid any major problems. This will help you determine where to dig for landscaping elements, and where lighting fixtures or water fixtures can be placed.
