Should you use a plan?
Yes, most of the time it all needs to start with a plan.
You can do it without a written one but the more complex a job becomes the more it’s in your benefit to go through this process as it will save time, $$ and usually result in a better final look.
Sometimes plans are simply rough ideas put down on paper that serves to better refine thoughts. And in some cases they are much more detailed as required by building departments and other entities.
So whether this is an early discussion between spouses to reach common ground, a simple drawing that identifies the rough placement of items or complete, multi page drawings done to scale for HOA and other formal submittals required to be done by a landscape architect.
In general, the detail of plan should correspond to the level of complexity of the job.
For instance, if you are simply looking to remove your turf and replace with more drought tolerant plants/succulents then you probably can benefit greatly using just an inexpensive “functional” plan.
Because even on this simple level you probably will find your plan will end up saving you a trip or two or more to the store by identifying what you need to do and provide the structure to do it.
As projects become more involved such as with irrigation retrofits and hardscape items, having an accurate multiple page plan is critical to the success of the project.
But many times a no cost consultation and a simple version is all that’s needed to make a real difference.
