1. Plant-A-Plan
Design Service geared for the Do-It-Yourselfer
The quickest most economical way for a professional landscape!
A Plant-A-Plan design is performed entirely at Kennedy’s Country Gardens. Your first step is to take photos of the area you want to landscape. These pictures should be taken from different angles and distances to give us a complete picture. Next sketch the area. Do this from an overhead view. We recommend using Kennedy’s graph paper. They are included in Kennedy’s Plant-A-Plan packets available in our information area. Please draw your sketch using a scale of 1:1, meaning that one block on the graph paper equals 1 foot. For example, to draw a straight 30′ fence you draw the a line 30 boxes long. Start with a fixed object such as your house, driveway, fence, pool, etc.. Then take accurate measurements. Note any relevant objects such as existing trees, shrubs, rocks, doors, windows, steps, walks, etc.. Note sunlight exposures and soil conditions. To facilitate your doing this, please pick up one of our convenient “Plant-A-Plan” packets at Kennedy’s or click on Plant-A-Plan.
Once you have gathered the necessary information, bring it in to Kennedy’s. One of our nursery professionals will sketch an informal plan for your area and help you select the plants that are appropriate for your landscape. We Plan, you Plant! It’s that simple.
