I’m doing a diy landscaping on my back yard. I wanted it to be a resting place with flowers…….I have all the tools i needed, wood plank, cement, tiles, flowers….. but i don’t know how to start it. i have never done any lanscaping before. what should i do,…. i kinda want to this myself so that i can brag to my relatives about my diy backyard this coming holiday.

YEP, I WOULD START WITH DIGGING IT UP & GETTING OUT ALL THE GRASS, LEVEL IT, ADD TOPSOIL IF YOUR SOIL ISN’T GOOD & PROBABLY WOULDN’T HURT TO MIX SOME FRESH TOPSOIL ANYWAY. DO YOUR TIMBERS OR WHATEVER, I USE AN EDGING TOO & DEPENDING MAYBE THAT WEED-X TYPE LINER .. THEN PLANT & MULCH WELL
Reduce your picture plan to words. example:
I want a waterfall running into a pond, with a small bridge, with stepping stones, etc.
steps to take: 1- dig hole for pond
2-place liner for pond and waterfall
3-install waterline, pump etc.
Get the idea? I hope this helps. It’s always hardest to get started
