Landscape Layout
Curb appeal from the street and a shaded patio out back for summer evenings both start with where the plants go. Shrubs, trees, gravel, and pavers all have a place in ArcSite's landscape layout before the first bed gets dug.
Key Features
This landscape layout includes:
- Home footprint with doors and windows marked
- Velvet boxwood shrubs along a curved walkway
- Azaleas and a specimen shrub at the front corner
- Lady ferns along the back of the house
- Gravel bed with a row of dwarf bushes
- Lawn edged with low flowering plants
- Paver patios with a patio umbrella
- Row of shade trees along the property side
The gravel bed wraps the corner of the house with the dwarf bushes set inside it, so check the grade on that side before you lay rock against the foundation.

Key Considerations When Designing a Landscape Layout
Frequently asked questions
Does this layout include an irrigation plan?
No. It covers plantings and hardscape only. Add irrigation zones and heads in ArcSite as a separate drawing.
Can I swap the plant types?
Yes! You can relabel or replace any plant symbol in ArcSite to match what grows in your area.
Can I draw this while I walk the property?
Bring an iPad or Android tablet and sketch the yard with the homeowner beside you, instead of redrawing it at the office that night.
