It’s all right to feel overwhelmed

If you’re standing at the back door wondering where on earth to start, you’re in good company.

Whether you’re starting from bare dirt, inherited someone else’s mess, or simply ready for a redo, these five steps will swap that “where do I even start?” feeling for a plan you can tackle a weekend at a time.

Five steps, in order

Each step builds on the last and ends with a worksheet.

  1. Dream it. Decide what you actually want to do in your yard before you buy anything.
  2. Know your zones. Split the yard into patches and get to know each one’s sun, water, soil and wind.
  3. Take inventory. List what’s already there, from patios to sprinklers, and what’s worth keeping.
  4. Embrace reality. Set your wishes beside what’s hard to change, and find the quick wins.
  5. Make a plan. Break everything into small projects you can finish in a week or a weekend.

Includes microclimate mapping, sun, water, soil and wind audits, and six fill-in worksheets.
