In this course, you're going to become your own landscape designer

so you can stay in control, avoid costly mistakes, and create what you want — for less.

We believe every yard deserves a great design.

The problem?
But not every yard needs a professional—and not every homeowner knows how to think like a designer.
With so many moving parts—layouts, materials, plants, measurements—it’s easy to feel stuck before you even begin.

We believe homeowners shouldn’t have to guess their way through it. That’s why we created a course with design techniques, guidance, and tools to do it yourself—with confidence.

Here’s how we help:

  • You learn how to work with your own yard — so you don't work against it.
  • You stay in creative control of your project, but with expert guidance that helps you avoid common (sometimes, costly or timely) mistakes.
  • You follow a clear, step-by-step framework so you'll go from having no ideas to a complete vision that's easy to implement — that's yours.
So enroll in DIY Your Yard: The Complete Homeowner’s Landscape Design Course—and start creating a yard that feels like your home.

Hi there! I'm Jordan

Founder of The Landscape Library

Featured In:

After designing over 300 landscapes, I know this one thing to be true:

Homeowners have the design in them — it's the designers' job to bring it out of them.

Most people think they need a big budget or a professional team to create their dream yard. But in reality, it all starts with one question:


How do you want to live outside?


That’s why I created this course — to give homeowners like you the right questions, design techniques, and tools to confidently create a yard that reflects your life.


With degrees in horticulture, landscape design, and architecture — plus experience at a world-renowned firm and four years leading The Landscape Library — I’ve seen firsthand how the right knowledge can guide anyone to bring their outdoor vision to life.

This course gives you exactly what you need to design your yard with clarity, not confusion.

Instead of hiring a professional or spending thousands on trial and error, you’ll get expert guidance at a fraction of the cost — and walk away with a plan you believe in and a space you’re proud of.

What this Homeowner said:

"Before this course I had ideas for my yard, but I didn't really know how to move forward. I learned so much about my own yard. There were so many details I’d never even thought to consider, and now I see how important they are. Everything was broken down step by step in a way that actually made sense to me. I now know what I want and what will work. I'm so excited to bring this piece of my home to life. Thank you"

— Sarah M., Homeowner in North Carolina
