Landscape
Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards Addressed!
 CCSS. Math. Content.HSN‐Q.A.1 Use units as a way to understand
problems and to guide the solution of multi‐step problems; choose
and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the
scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
 CCSS. Math. Content. HS N‐Q.A.2 Define appropriate quantities for
the purpose of descriptive modeling.
 CCSS. Math.Content.HSG‐CO.A.1 Know precise definitions of
angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment,
based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line,
and distance around a circular arc.
 CCSS .Math. Content. HS G‐CO.D.12Make formal geometric
constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and
straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic
geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle;
bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular
lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and
constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the
line.
Bell Work / Student Objectives
 1. Describe how to
determine the client’s needs
and desires.
 2. Explain the purpose of a
site analysis plan.
 3. Identify the purpose of a
base plan.
 4. Describe the components
of a site analysis plan.

 Where would we begin in
landscaping this new home?
How does a designer determine
what a client needs and desires
for their yard?
 1. Family Inventory Sheet

What are the family specifics for the
home?

Allergies
Pets
Recreation
A. What are the family
specifics for this
home?
1. The number and ages of
family members
2. Family hobbies ( i.e. baseball,
gardening, badminton)
3. Pets
B. What are the
gardening interests of
the family?
1. Do the clients want a
vegetable garden, annual
garden, bulb garden?
2. How much time do they
want to spend in the yard
doing maintenance?
C. How does the family
plan to use the space?
1. Patio or deck
2. Pool or open yard for lawn
games
3. How much entertaining is to
be done?
D. Are there any favorite
plants that the family
wants included in the
landscape? In New Mexico
water usage and
xeriscaping are important
considerations.
E. Are there any plants
the client does not
want in the landscape?
They might not want plants with
thorns, plants that drop messy
fruit/leaves, or those that have
weak wood.
F. Any thing else that
may pertain to the
specific yard should
be discussed at this
time.
What is the purpose of a
site analysis plan?
II. Site Analysis Plan
 The site analysis plan is a sketch of the
home, the property lines, and a record
of observations about the site that the
designer can then later refer to when
they begin the design process.
Preliminary Site Analysis Plan!
What is a base plan?
III. Base Plan
 A. A scaled drawing of
the home. This should
include doors, windows,
and any existing
hardscapes, (i.e.
sidewalks, driveways,
patios).
 B. Property Lines
 C. Utility Lines and
Easements
What are the components of
a site analysis plan?
IV. A site analysis plan is a
record of observations done
on a site to be landscaped.
This is done before any
design work is started on the
yard.
A site analysis plan includes
the following observations:
 A. Vegetation
 B. Soil
 C. Microclimate
 D. Macroclimate
 E. Views

Review
 Begin designing a landscape by first
discovering the needs of the family with
a family inventory sheet. You will then
need to complete a site analysis and
base plan.
Evaluation
 1. Why is it important to do a site
analysis of the location you wish to
landscape?
 2. List the five components of a site
analysis plan.
 3. What are some questions that
should be asked on a family inventory?
 What is a base plan?
