WHY PURCHASE THESE PLANS?
The purpose of these designs is to provide ideas and direction for the homeowner who has an existing 10′ x 10′ patio within the hardiness zones 7 and 8 from Texas to the Eastern part of the USA. If you already shop at a local Lowe’s or Home Depot home improvement store, you will find most ( if not all ) of the items on your materials shopping list found in each landscape plan. Also, hiring a landscape designer could cost $150 to $750 or more for consultation and/or having a master plan completed.
Over the years of providing landscape designs for families in north Texas, there was one thing many of these projects had in common: a lonely 10′ x 10′ concrete patio installed by the contractor who built the house. Most of the homeowners said similar things: “we don’t know what to do with this space” or “we can’t just get rid of the patio”. If this sounds like you, check out the following designs for a solution. They can be either a temporary or a longer term solution for your back yard patio needs.
Also, check out “WHAT YOU GET…” with each plan at the bottom of this page.

Should you choose this plan, feel free to get creative with your choice of annuals for planting in the pots.

WHAT YOU GET…
Once you purchase your patio plan, you will receive the following items, as a PDF, for guidance and direction of your project installation:
- Drawn Perspective
- Landscape Plan
- Materials Shopping List
- Plant Information with Color Pictures
- Planting Illustrations ( for example of proper planting )
The Materials Shopping List gives you:
- Common plant names
- Botanical plant names
- How many of each item you need ( such as number of bags of mulch )
- Pricing space for each item
- Pricing space for totals
Take your Materials Shopping List with you to Lowe’s or Home Depot and compare pricing for the best deal. You can also ask one of the employees for assistance in finding the items too. Use them, they are there to help you.
GENERALLY SPEAKING
What is not included are specific plant suggestions for annuals in any of the decorative planters or pots, since this is something that you can have fun picking out for yourself a few times each year. There will be blogs about plantings within decorative planters at a later time in 2013.
You can take your Materials List and walk into most home improvement stores to simply notate your pricing. At that point, all you need to negotiate is the cost of labor with a local, competent landscape company for landscape installation. Also, always be sure to use a company that is licensed to perform irrigation work should you have a need to install or change your irrigation system.
These designs are here to provide you with strong direction and feel free to create any changes to meet your landscape needs. They are also designed for the homeowner who is searching for a fun landscaping project that does not have a heavy watering requirement. If you live within the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, we will be happy to develop an installation quote and have these installed for you. Please use the contact page on this site if interested.
We will be introducing more designs in the future with larger and differently shaped patio space for those who are wanting to demolish their existing patio or for those who have nothing in place at all.
