Hi @gagan24991,

You might like to start by having a read through this guide: How to plan a garden makeover. Then check out our Top 10 most popular garden makeovers and Top 10 most popular front yard makeovers  for inspiration.

When approaching a landscaping renovation, the best place to start is with a plan. Begin by making a list of must-haves for your yard. Think about how you want to use the space. Do you need a decked area for outdoor entertaining, a grassed area for children to play, a vegetable garden for homegrown produce, or perhaps a peaceful spot for relaxing with a book? Writing down these ideas will give you a clearer vision of what you need from the space.

Once you’ve listed out the essentials, start designing by mapping out the areas. You could create different zones for various activities. For example, a deck or paved area close to the house can be perfect for entertaining and outdoor dining, while a grassy section can provide a play area for kids or pets. If you're into gardening, consider adding raised garden beds for growing vegetables or flowers, or even a fruit tree or two for shade and fresh produce. Don’t forget to think about pathways that connect these areas, ensuring they’re both practical and visually appealing.

In terms of style, think about whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look with clean lines and low-maintenance plants, or a more lush, cottage-style garden filled with greenery. Adding layers with different plant heights can create depth and interest. You could also think about including features like a water fountain, a fire pit for cooler evenings, or even a pergola to provide shade.

Be sure to consider lighting for those evening gatherings and maybe even outdoor furniture that complements the style of your yard. Finally, map out where you might need irrigation and drainage to ensure your garden thrives and is easy to maintain.

By creating a detailed plan that reflects how you want to use the space, you’ll be able to design a functional, beautiful yard that works for your lifestyle.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
