Читать книгу Landscaping For Dummies - Lance Walheim - Страница 29

Here we come to grips with your property the way it is now:

 What are its strengths and weaknesses?

 What do you like or dislike about your yard?

 What kind of problems does your landscape have that you need to find solutions for?

This process of assessing your yard is called site analysis. This is the time to make a rough drawing. To do some serious drawing — with dimensions — check out Chapter 3.

Figure 1-1 is a sample of what your initial site analysis can look like when you’re finished. You identify what you have to work with and imagine what improvements will be there soon.

The following sections help you analyze your site and include some common approaches to help you think fresh and creative thoughts about your landscape. The object here is to bring your unique landscape and its possibilities into sharper focus.
