Plan out and measure the area
- Pick a flat, sunny area for the garden.
- Before you do any digging, go to call811.com to have your utility, electric, sewer/septic, gas and water lines marked.
- Map out any underground water features or wiring for lighting, if you’re going that route.
- Calculate how much gravel you’ll need by measuring the length, width and height of the garden in feet and multiplying them together. That will give you the total cubic feet.
- Choose your plants. Try to go native, since they’re best for wildlife, drought tolerance and easy maintenance.
