How to plan properly

How do I properly create a blueprint for the garden?

The preparation of construction drawings for the new home belongs in the hands of architects, draftsmen or civil engineers. When it comes to planning your new garden design, create the construction plan yourself. This saves the costs for the landscape architect and offers the best option to authentically implement your own ideas. This is how you do it:

• Measure the garden plot exactly
• Convert dimensions to scale
• Transfer the floor plan onto a piece of paper with a pencil and ruler

Now enter the planned design components in the floor plan. In order to correctly position the fence, fountain, gazebo, bench or boulder, ideally measure it on site and enter the calculated, converted values ​​in the construction plan. Experience has shown that the first construction plan usually turns out to be a draft. The deeper you get into the project, the more the ideas bubble up. Finally, integrate the planting plan into the drawing to breathe floral life into your self-built garden.

How do I recognize comprehensible building instructions?

Countless building instructions are available on the Internet for every building project in the garden, from the Children's swing to the garden sauna. When it comes to implementation, joys and sorrows are closely related. If there is a lack of relevant criteria, the practical execution can put an extreme strain on the nerves. This is how you recognize a comprehensible building instruction:

• The chronological sequence can be seen without a doubt
• All materials, tools, devices and machines are listed
• Textual instructions are supplemented by drawings or photos
• Specific sizes are provided for guidance

As every work step is represented textually and graphically, good construction instructions enable even the inexperienced do-it-yourselfer to create the object himself.
