    STEP 2: TAKE INVENTORY

    The next step is to identify existing plants and features that already exist in your yard that you’d like to keep. Look at how your
    space is arranged and notice the things you like and dislike. Sketch your yard and label the contents as either “keep” or
    “remove”. If you have a camera, use it to help you identify each of these items.

    STEP 3: SKETCH YOUR DREAM YARD

    Now the fun starts! Draw a rough sketch of how you’d like your new yard to look. Remember to keep the features from Step 2 in
    your new plan and then add new items to fit the needs identified in Step 1.

    Now is the final step. Complete your sketch by choosing the plants and other features appropriate for your new yard. Select
    items with characteristics that match not only your needs, but also your yard conditions such as amount of sun, soil type, and
    moisture available. Develop a list of suitable plants.

    CHOOSING A TREE

    General Appearance

    The shape of the tree should look balanced


    The tree should have an overall healthy appearance
    The tree should have a single strong "central” leader trunk
    The crown and rootball should be proportionate to the size of the tree.

    Trunk

    1. The trunk should be free of insect damage such as bore holes.


    2. The trunk should be straight and have a healthy appearance.
    3. The bigger the rootball, the better.

    Crown

    1. Make sure the branches come off the leader trunk at between 45-degree and 90-degree angle. Any wounds from
    pruned branches should be healed or almost healed.
    2. Branches should have good scaffolding, which means they are evenly distributed throughout the tree.
    3. Branches should not grow in clusters. The length of each branch should be no longer than one-quarter of the height of
    the tree.
