When a new home is built, ordinarily it sits atop a bare yard of dirt, debris and possibly weeds. With any luck your builder will have avoided jerking out the few trees that may have been present. No matter where you live, landscaping in Sterling, VA, Milan, IN, or Stockton, MO, will likely be similar. Take what you may have left, a few trees maybe, a boulder perhaps, and from there you can start a landscape design for your outside living area. Putting it down on paper is crucial. Even spreading it out into a five year plan may be done. This makes it a little easier to accomplish, taking small bites at a time out of the entire plan. The first step is to make a simple drawing of what structures are present at this time. The house footprint will be the biggest one, and it may be helpful to show where the doors and windows are in the house. This will enable views to be taken into consideration when placing plantings, low or high. Some folks use tracing paper to place over this resulting drawing of permanent buildings. Changes can be easily made this way. Others use pencil and sketch in lightly the proposed plantings. Don't forget the inclusion of decks or patios to be added to the house itself. Even the erecting of something such as a gazebo or garden trellises might need to be on there. It can always be changed, none of it being carved in stone. This rudimentary drawing of your landscaping in Sterling, VA or wherever you find yourself can now be worked from by you and your family or could even be taken to a professional landscaper. Fences may or may not be needed or wanted, but if you have a large enough are to work with, making several special subject gardens with seating would be interesting.
