Get the order right
The most expensive mistakes in a full yard come from doing things out of order: sod laid before drainage, a patio poured before irrigation lines, or planting done before grading settles.
A good design sorts the sequence and budget first, so you can build in phases if you need to and still end up with a yard that works together.
