About this Garden Plan

This image displays a bird's eye view of the back yard. The roof of the house is shown in the center at the bottom of the image, colored in grey. To the left of the patio, there are three garden beds that are elevated and are on locking wheels that provide for easy mobility. The rock to the left of the house would be extended further back and the small gravel around the playset would be pushed back to the far left corner of the yard. The playset would be removed and a rectangular trampoline would replace that area. The yard will be seeded with a grass variety that is low maintenance and can tolerate the life of an active dog. To the right of the house, the rock has also been extended to reduce water consumption on the property. In addition to the extension of the rock, various perennials will provide color and essence along with some edible berry bushes for an enjoyable experience when outside with friends and family. There is an apple tree included in the back to the right that will fruit several different species of apples to provide a variety of flavor during the summer. Under the apple tree, there will be a bench for relaxing in the shade. Finally, there is a dog house included in the design, on the right side that backs up to the fence. This dog house would be made from recycled wood pallets that include a roof that will double as a small garden filled with succulents that will require little to no maintenance and will be watered by the rain throughout summer. During the fall the succulents will need to be removed and can be replaced after the last frost of the spring, this can be done by The Mad Botanists' LLC for a low fee. This idea can be adjusted as needed.
