At The Landscape Library Academy, we believe every yard deserves a great design.
The problem? Not every yard needs a professional—but 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 that gives you the design fundamentals, guidance, and tools to do it yourself—with confidence.
Here’s how we help:
- You follow a clear, step-by-step framework that takes you from ideas to an executable drawing.
- You learn the foundational principles professional designers use—without the complexity or jargon.
- You stay in creative control of your project, but with expert-backed lessons, templates, and tools that help you avoid common (sometimes, costly) mistakes.
So enroll in DIY: Design Your Own Yard—and start creating a yard that feels like home.
