What a backyard design plan is.
A backyard design plan is a simple site plan for the outdoor space behind a home. It places the house footprint, property edges and the main areas for seating, lawn, planting, play and circulation.
Use it to compare layouts before building. It is an early concept, not a survey, drainage design or construction drawing, so measurements and site conditions must be checked before work begins.
