5 steps to creating a landscape design - January 22, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

A GOOD PLAN: It takes time, and a bit of effort, but at the end of the process you will have a garden to enjoy for years to come.

Good gardens don't just happen; they're the results of careful planning and observation.

I suggest you get to know your property over the course of at least all four seasons before you commit to any major design changes or installations.

Observe the way the light hits your property throughout the year, how water flows and where additional privacy is needed. All this can only become truly clear once you've paid attention and studied these effects over time.

Designing your landscape equipped with that knowledge can then be one of the most rewarding projects you'll ever embark upon. And beginning that process at the start of a fresh new year is the ideal time to get going.

Here are five steps to creating a basic landscape design:

1. Create a base map

Sketch your existing outdoor area showing property lines, the house's orientation, driveways and paths. Start at the front corner of the house.

With an extra long tape measure, find the distance out to the curb and across to the nearest property line, and draw it onto graph paper. (A scale of 2.5 centimetres per 3m works well, but pick whatever works for you and stay consistent through the drawing.) The larger the grid paper, the easier it will be to write in all your plans and ideas.

Continue measuring from all corners of the house to the property's boundaries. Draw an arrow indicating north. Locate doors and windows, gas, electric and cable utilities, trees and shrubs and any neighbours' features near the property line that might affect your design, such as large trees, fences or buildings.

Chatham Competition Alley Renovation - January 21, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

Chatham, Va.- Between two brick buildings along Main Street in Chatham, sits Competition Alley.

"Just a depressing little alley way between two tall buildings."

That's what most of the community considers it now. But Competition Alley isn't just any old alley way. This is the last original alley from the 1800s town of Competition. The plan is to transform it from this eye-sore, to a place where the town of Chatham can gather and just have fun.

For people to use for Farmer's Markets, vending, birthday parties, class outings, 5 o'clock music on Friday afternoons," said Mary Lee Black.

The possibilities are endless, according to Black. She is one of the co-chairs for the group Chatham First. They worked tirelessly for the final six weeks of 2014, and raised $50,000 for the project. An anonymous donor matched their$50,000, for a total of $100,000 to spruce up this old alleyway.

Joe Rogers is the other co-chair of Chatham First. He showed us some drawings of what he what he wants the alley way to look like.

"There will be a plaza, Rogers said. It will be a public venue. If people would like to take their lunches out there when the weather is nice, have lunch."

The goal is to have this alley way complete by mid-summer. The new competition alley will also have murals painted to represent the history of Competition and Chatham. They also plan to put in some Gazebos.
