Everything you designed, laid out as a plan you can hold — what to build, what to plant, and when.
The same painting of your yard — before the plan, and after two decades of growth.

An illustrated bird's-eye site plan of the finished yard.
Your design from directly above, drawn to scale: every circle is a plant at its full mature spread. Use it to check spacing before anything goes in the ground.
Work in small phases — each year below is one weekend-sized project list. Everything in between is patience.

A care card for everything green in the plan.
This plan is an illustrative watercolor design: placement, plant choices, and expected growth over time. It is not an architectural, engineering, or survey document, and nothing here is a construction drawing. Plant sizes and prices are typical estimates; your soil, weather, and nursery will vary. Before building or excavating anything (especially water features), verify measurements, utilities, drainage, and local codes with a qualified professional. © 2026 Painted Acre.
