When you’re ready to project spending, this section can help. The easiest way to proceed is to make a spreadsheet (see Table 3-1; you can use it to create your own spreadsheet). You first divide your landscaping project into logical sections (specific types of plants, supplies, building materials, décor, and so forth), and then start filling information and numbers as you can. Lead with your priorities (for example, plants and mulch). Edit, add, subtract, as you progress and refine.
