Ok so I moved into my new house in May and am now getting around to planning out my backyard. As of right now it is bare dirt and a fence.
On the large side of the house I will be putting in RV parking / dog run and the small side just gravel for drainage and ease of maintenance. The back is about 18' or so deep and about 60' - 70' wide (I haven't gotten an exact measurement yet) My plan so far includes a raised rock wall / planter along the back fence that runs the length of the yard. I will then put in a stone patio about 16' x 20' coming off the back door. Then just grass for the rest. Basically I have an idea of what I want but not sure how it will come out. I am just looking for some ideas / pictures of what to do here. Also I figure this to be expensive so any tips or cost efficient ways to do this would be great. I have included some MS paint for yard diagram. 
ETA: If I do the planter on the back fence, I am looking to put small trees or big shrubs in it. Any suggestions for this? Would prefer trees under 10' tall mature so I don't lose my view of the mountains. |
