A. Plot Plan And Design

1. The first step in designing a residential system is to

measure the property and indicate the location of the

house. On a separate piece of paper sketch out your

property and place your measurements on the sketch.

Graph Areas

Be sure to include all concrete or brick walks and patios,

driveways and fences. While you are measuring, locate

any trees, shrubs and lawns and draw them on the sketch.

2. Next, draw the plot plan to scale on the graph paper

provided. The scale can be 1:100, 1:200, or whatever you

decide. Write your scale on the plan. Make sure to note

lawn, shrub, ground cover and large trees.

3. On the plot plan, divide the property into areas. The areas

should be rectangles or squares and as large as possible.

Consider the information in Step 2 above while dividing

up the plot plan: front yard, back yard and side yard, lawn

or shrub areas and shady areas. Label your areas A, B, C,

D, etc. (See the example plot plan above).
