Design Workshop: How to Analyse Your Outdoor Site

March 8, 2021

Uncategorized

Posted by Parveen

Getting to know your site is the first step to creating a wonderful garden. Follow this 10-point checklist to get it right

One of the first things landscape designers do when they start working on a garden plan is to make a site survey. This assesses a range of factors including soil type, wind exposure, location of sewer pipes, existing plants and changes of level. That information is put together onto a scale drawing of the site which is used to develop the final concept plan for the garden.

Whether you’re planning to hire a landscape designer or intending to design your own garden, it makes good sense to analyse the site yourself. For DIY gardeners it will provide a thorough understanding of what’s going in the garden so you’ll be able to work with what you’ve got rather than trying to create a garden that would be impossible for your conditions. There’s no point in wasting money on plants that won’t thrive in your garden’s type of soil or building a terrace and finding it’s lashed by cold winds most of the time.

Even if you do use a landscape designer, having a thorough knowledge of your site means you’ll be better able to judge whether the design is right for your garden. And by reducing some of the preliminary work the designer would do, you can save yourself time and money. Not sure where to begin? Just follow our 10 point checklist of the essential elements for a garden site survey

1. Find an existing site plan…
Start by researching as much existing information as you can on your site. If you’ve had renovations done or built a new house you should have an existing site plan to scale, showing where the correct boundaries are, the position of the house, driveways and major trees. If not, check with your local council. Hopefully it will have a site plan on file and will give you a copy for a small fee.

Get your site plan enlarged to a reasonable scale to work with – 1:100 is the normal scale for site plans but for small spaces 1:50 is better. Make another copy or trace over the site plan so you can gradually add more information to your survey.

2. …Or draw your own site plan
If you can’t locate an existing site plan with a workable scale, you can draw your own. Graph paper can be helpful in establishing a scale for the site (for instance every two squares could equal one metre). When measuring your site never presume boundaries are straight, always double check by measuring from two different positions. Likewise with the position of trees and other major structures.

TIP: Having someone to assist you is a good idea, and useful electronic tools are available online to make site measuring a lot easier.

3. Assess indoor/outdoor links
If not already marked on the site plan, you should note the different living spaces on your base plan and any other rooms that look out onto the garden. This allows you to plan garden features to be seen from the various rooms as well as creating good connections between the inside of the house and outdoor living spaces.

4. Find north
Knowing where north is helps you work out approximately where the sun will be in the garden at different times of day and, conversely, which areas will be in shade. There should be a north point on any site plans drawn up by an architect or a design professional. Alternatively, get out the compass. If you have time, track the sun’s movement through the garden as this is valuable knowledge. Check in the morning, midday and again in the evening. If you do this each season you’ll be able to work out which areas are the sunniest (and shadiest) throughout the year. Mark these on your site survey.

5. Mark key features
Your site survey should include existing built features such as sheds, decks, driveways, paving, pergolas, pools. Even if you are planning to move or demolish these, it’s important to note where they are in the interim as budgets and minds can change. Also locate on the plan all the trees and plants you wish to retain.

Don’t forget what’s happening under the ground. The position of underground services such as gas, electricity, telecommunication cables and drainage runs can hugely affect what you can do on top, planting trees for instance, excavating soil or building structures. The council may have a drainage plan on file while your service providers can send you a map of cables and gas pipes.

6. Assess levels
Sloping areas should be noted on the site survey. It’s important to take these into account when planning outdoor living spaces as seats and tables need a level platform. If your site does have a slope you’ll have to build retaining walls to create flat areas. Unless you’re really handy, it pays to take professional advice on this. When moving soil around, think about where you could relocate it on site rather than paying to have it removed.

Retaining might also be a good option if your site slopes down away from the house, otherwise the garden will be shady. For areas such as garden beds, rather than creating large flat areas with expensive earthworks try to follow the natural contours of your site as much as possible and use low terracing that is not difficult to build yourself.

TIP: Clever planting can also go a long way to disguise sloping terrain

7. Work out the best and worst views
Note on the survey where the good views are from within the garden and from the house. These could be inside your garden, a lovely tree next door or a distant landmark such as a church steeple or a glimpse of the ocean. Views are another essential factor in deciding where to position sitting areas. Also mark areas where the garden is overlooked and might have to be screened.

8. Analyse environmental conditions
Spend as much time as you can working out which areas in your garden receive the most sun and wind, and which spots are sheltered or in deep shade. You need to know which parts of the garden receive the most rainfall and where the really dry areas are, as only certain plants will do well in those conditions. And you may want to create sitting areas in shady and sunny places in the garden.

9. And check the soil
Knowing where the good soil is will help decide your garden’s layout. Main planting areas should, of course, be where the good soil is whereas it doesn’t matter what the soil is like beneath paving. Check all around your property as soil conditions can vary considerably within a small area.

You may like to get your soil tested to determine its pH (acidity levels), particularly if you choose acid-loving plants such as azaleas or rhododendrons. Soil pH testing kits are available from garden centres.

0. What’s the drainage like?
Always note any areas with damp soil. There’s no point in planting expensive trees only to find them languishing in boggy ground. You can check the drainage capacity of soil by digging holes at least 500 millimetres deep in the area where you’ll be planting and fill them with water. If it drains away quickly, your soil is free-draining. If it stays for longer than a couple of hours you’ll need to install a drainage system or plant species that love damp conditions.

Microclimates

Micro climates within the landscape should also be considered.

Slopes

For #4, there’s a cool app for your smartphone (sunsurveyor) which shows the solar paths throughout the seasons for your current location. Also, you can assess the solar paths throughout the year in the span of 3 months by checking the location of the moon at night. The moon will be at the same location as the sun 6 months later 🙂

Torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) is a perennial tr Torch ginger (Etlingera elatior) is a perennial tropical plant with distinctive colourful blooms. It can grow quite large and spread in clumps in the warm, humid climate that it prefers.  Its leaves grow on the plant’s upright stems and can be around 3 feet long.⁠
⁠
It’s also possible to grow as a houseplant, though it’s typically very difficult to mimic torch ginger’s natural environment and the plant might not grow and flower to its fullest potential. ⁠
⁠
⁠Torch ginger is available in varieties primarily based on its flower colour, including: ⁠
⁠
💮‘Yamamoto’: This plant is notably tall and features large light pink blooms. ⁠
💮‘Giant Red Torch Ginger’: This variety can grow to 20 feet tall and blooms with bright red flowers.⁠
💮‘White Torch Ginger’: This rare plant features large white blooms with hints of yellow.⁠
💮‘Borneo Pink Torch Ginger’: This is another rare plant with pink blooms and red to maroon leaves. ⁠
💮‘Sunset Red Torch Ginger’: This rare plant has red blooms and leaves that are dark green on top and reddish-purple underneath.⁠

If you have one in your garden, please do share! 💚⁠

In 1836 between July and December ...⁠ ⁠ Eight In 1836 between July and December ...⁠
⁠
Eight ships came across to Kangaroo Island and aboard two of those boats were Col William Light aboard the HMS Rapid and George Strickland Kingston aboard the HMS Cygnet.⁠
⁠
Light and Kingston both set off to survey the coastline and find a bigger land mass for the colonists to settle on. This is when they came across what is now known as Glenelg. ⁠
⁠
Glenelg was named after Lord Glenelg the Secretary of State for the Colonists. In December 28th 1836 Captain Hindmarsh arrived aboard the HMS Buffalo. There was a replica of this ship made and is running as a restaurant in Wigly Reserve today. It was on this day that Captain Hindmarsh Proclaimed South Australia where the Old Gum Tree stands today.⁠
⁠
Glenelg, South Australia, a beautiful place to visit. Have you been? ⁠
⁠
This is one of my favourite pictures of its beach as it love the contrast between the majestically tall conifers against the colours of the sea and the bright blue skyline!💚
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty eve If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere. ⁠
~ Vincent Van Gogh⁠
⁠
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), perhaps the most famous artist in the world, is perceived by many as the 'mad' artist, the man who painted in a frenzy or simply the tormented soul who cuts off his ear. ⁠
⁠
His artistic genius is often overshadowed by those who see his paintings as mere visual manifestations of his troubled mind. Whilst in part this may be true, in reality his innovative and unique artistic style was of enormous importance to a host of artists who followed in his wake. ⁠
⁠
The career of Vincent van Gogh as a painter was short, but his paintings revolutionized artistic practice and styles. ⁠
⁠
The intensity of his vision, his wonderful sense of colour, and the extraordinary boldness of his technique created masterpieces that exercise a profound influence on the art of the twentieth century.⁠
⁠
Amazing!!! 💚

An open garden I visited ages ago and one I admired a lot as it had a lot of features I wanted in my own garden. 🤩⁠
⁠
It was the first time I actually paid attention to what the emotional pull in this combo was for me.  It turns out that it was the lime green colour of leaves (one of my fav colours) and the knowledge (and anticipation) that it will turn a beautiful autumn colour when it's ready! 🍂⁠
⁠
Love the impact of seasonality where something happens all the time in the garden and keeps it interesting for me!⁠
⁠
What in your garden gives you that emotional pull and what is your favourite seasonality impact? 💚

Now a little bit more about the Sun Tunnels project by Nancy Holt, 1973–76. ⁠
⁠
Nancy Holt was an American artist most known for her public sculpture, installation art, concrete poetry, and land art. Throughout her career, Holt also produced works in other media, including film and photography, and wrote books and articles about art.⁠
⁠
Sun Tunnels marks the yearly extreme positions of the sun on the horizon—the tunnels being aligned with the angles of the rising and setting of the sun on the days of the solstices, around June 21st and December 21st. On those days the sun is cantered through the tunnels, and is nearly centre for about ten days before and after the solstices.⁠

Another project where I was requested to maximise the potential of a small space with a tight budget. ⁠
⁠
The challenge with this one was to create a relaxed feel being surrounded by lush (low maintenance) plants whilst keeping it simple and functional.  Privacy was also an issue as the neighbours could see through the existing fence right into my lovely clients dining room!⁠
⁠
What I especially love about this project is that it has some artistic elements that suit the client's aesthetics and follows overall feel of the interiors but then adds another new vibe to the outdoors.  This garden is currently being constructed so I’m hoping to share some completion pictures in the next couple of months to show you what I mean!⁠
⁠
Some of the works (including artistic elements) will be DYI and some will be undertaken by the landscaper I normally put my clients in touch with!⁠
⁠
So watch this space!!! 💚
Opuntia stricta was introduced to Australia in the Opuntia stricta was introduced to Australia in the 1830s to provide hedging material in arid regions. ⁠
⁠
It quickly covered vast areas, but in an early example of natural management was brought under control by introduced insects.⁠
⁠
They are succulent perennials that invade rangeland and native vegetation in the drier parts of South Australia. ⁠
⁠
Wheel cactus (Opuntia robusta) and common prickly pear (Opuntia stricta) are the most prominent species.⁠
⁠
This one was found peeking over my Mulgrave client's fence. ⁠
⁠
Very architectural and a nice contrast with the smooth blue sky in the back ground. 🤩💚🌵

⁠
It's amazing how simply refreshing an existing space can lighten up your mood!⁠
⁠
The client loves this view as this is what greets them as they pull up their driveway after being away at work for the day.💚⁠
⁠
All we did here was to create an actual path around the existing pear tree which gives a lot of autumn colour to the front garden and shades the space in summer.⁠
⁠
We included a selection of our favourite wispy low maintenance grasses and a few large bromeliads as further accent points in the garden and to inject a little more colour during spring and summer!⁠
⁠
We love retaining existing vegetation rather than starting with a completely clean slate as its good karma too!⁠ 🙏⁠
⁠
We can't wait to get back to this garden this Spring and see how it's all grown and to spruce it up before the property goes on for sale.  We absolutely loved working with our lovely clients on this project and that it gave them much enjoyment over the last couple of years! 

Hope that you all have had a wonderful weekend and a happy Mother’s Day too! 💚

⁠
This was a project I started designing back in 2020 and which had many stops and starts.  Mainly due to COVID and the underlying renovations taking place.⁠
⁠
So I started with the rear garden and before even knew it was asked to expand my design scope to include a redesign of my lovely client's front garden too! ⁠
⁠
I really loved working with her in retaining the framework of the existing garden (existing established trees) and incorporating some new plants to bring it all together.⁠
⁠
The design includes an expansion of the driveway too so that there's plenty of parking when her kids have their own cars in a couple of years time. ⁠
⁠
I was very careful to minimise the impact on the existing garden beds but had to make the grassed area a wee bit smaller. ⁠
⁠
Can't wait to show off the feature paving when this gets constructed in a couple of years!! 💚🤩

Beautiful spiral conifers along this particular st Beautiful spiral conifers along this particular street in Turin, Italy.  Just wow!⁠ 💚⁠
⁠
The spiral form is my favourite type of topiary - ie the way in which a human structures the shape of a plant.⁠
⁠
Researching this, I've found out that this artform dates back to the Greek and Roman civilizations, but was perfected by Italian artists during the Renaissance.⁠
⁠
It regained popularity when the Victorians included topiaries in their cottage gardens and is still included in many garden designs today.  I love to have them in my designs if my clients are up to maintaining these lovelies! ⁠
⁠
Most of the conifers usually transformed into spirals begin with a cone like shape. ⁠
⁠
Contrary to popular believe (ie I get asked this question a lot), this is not something that can be done successfully with a mature conifer but is an artform which starts with a young tree.⁠
⁠
To start, locate the central leader of the tree, making it the top of your cone. Using long-handled shears, shape the tree from the top down.  Wait a few years at least and you'll have a lovely shaped specimen like the picture (although it will take time to fill up and get large!)⁠
⁠
Patience is key and something you'll enjoy in the long term!! 💚
The hairy cactus is widely known for its long hair The hairy cactus is widely known for its long hairs. ⁠
⁠
Spotted this one in one of my favourite nurseries and it felt sooooo soft and playfully reminded me of a greyed version Cousin Itt from the Addam's Family! 💚⁠
⁠
These striking hair are modified spines that protects the cacti from frost and sunlight. As well as keeping the heat from the day to prevent the plant from freezing. ⁠
⁠
The white fuzzy hairs can get dirty or turn brownish over time. You can give them a cleaning by mixing a small amount of liquid castile soap and water. (Organic unscented castile soap free of dyes is best although organic soaps will also work well.) ⁠
⁠
Carefully wash off all the soap in the sink or with a hose. Make sure the soap does not seep into the soil though. Comb the hair — yes, actually comb the hair — upward to help it dry!!!⁠ 😁⁠
⁠
Most succulents are very hardy and, unlike many ot Most succulents are very hardy and, unlike many other plants, thrive on neglect!⁠
⁠
They require minimal care and, by following a few simple guidelines, will do well.⁠
⁠
Plant your new succulents in well draining potting mix - try a blend of regular potting mix with cactus mix, coarse sand or perlite/vermiculite to improve drainage. ⁠
⁠
Water well then allow the potting mix to dry out before re-watering.⁠

" Come forth into the light of things. Let nature " Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher." ~ William Wordsworth⁠
⁠
This quote from William shows the significance of his view on nature. He feels that you shouldn’t have to think about what other people think, or if things are right or not, but to just let nature take its course and take you with it where ever it made lead. ⁠
⁠
He is saying that if you are confused or wants to get to the deeper meaning and core of things, then don’t try hard because that will only confuse you and turn you in the wrong direction. Just give up your all and let whatever feels right take you and if nature wants you do unordinary things then so be it. ⁠
⁠
What do you think? Is he right? 💚

⁠
This project was also interesting from a business point of view as I realised I really enjoyed experimenting different options with my client and helping them see, in real time, what options could work for them whilst whittling away the ones that didn't suit them at all.⁠
⁠
This process takes longer to do of course and definitely would cost the client more, but they really get to understand definitively how the garden would suit them and truly realise the full potential their outdoor space.⁠
⁠
Can't wait to create more designs such as this one and hear back from clients when they enjoy their creations over time with their loved ones!! 💚
