- Dream up your vision
- Weed out what’s not possible logistically or financially
- Think ahead to anything you can get done while your backyard is dug up (Future outdoor kitchen, perhaps? Install plumbing while you’re digging now.)
- Establish relationships with professionals (Will you need a general contractor or will you outsource everything yourself?)
- Follow rules and regulations
- Plan and design the layout
- Schedule demo and installations
- Shop for furniture and accessories
- Watch your vision come to life and adapt to any changes
- Kick up your feet and enjoy your new yard
