Procedures Used to Develop Landscape Plans

Planning Phase Conduct a client interview Client will

have information about the site wants needs and visions This is the time to educate the client about possibilities the outdoor site has to offer Follow the client interview guidelines

Planning Phase

Conducting a client interview ( Guidelines) Ask the client questions to gather information needed to

design a plan

When we first meet you at your home we will interview you to

find out your desires and ideas Well ask you questions about your lifestyle likes and dislikes and budget requirements For example if you are thinking about a back yard patio some questions we might ask include 1How much time do you and your family enjoy spending outside 2When you entertain family and friends how large is the gathering 3When you are inside the house what views are important when you are looking out

Our Landscape Design Questionnaire Please let us help you in creating your personalized outdoor living experience This form will be most helpful to us if you elaborate and detail your wants and needs How should your new landscape function How much do you plan on entertaining guests Are aesthetics

highest priority What are your pressing needs Specific needs How old are your children if any Future family plans What do you want Do you desire or plan to grow food or other consumables ie cut flowers medicinal culinary herbs fruit trees food forest garden mushroom logs and herb spiral Have you considered the possibility of deriving an income from your property Do you plan on having Terra Nova continue with maintenance after install completion What are some favorite features ie favorite colors fragrances favorite plants What plants are specifically not desired What type of animals do you have How many Future plans for a chicken coop etc When you close your eyes and imagine your idealdream garden what does it look like What do you hear

And smell What do you see in your neighborhood that you like or that are appropriate Or in the closest natural area Are you concerned with resource conservation and reducing your monthly utility bills Can we explore grading

and greywater techniques that significantly reduce your water consumption for irrigation Irrigation Automatic or manual Drip OK What are known drainage issues or problems How about other house foundation neighbor issues

underground utilities etc that may not be visible What are known pest problems Do you currently use compost andor worm bins May we assist you in doing so What are your interests in landscaping for beneficials and wildlife habitat How do you feel about substituting conventional lawn for an herb lawn or a flowering meadow when

appropriate What is your current budget 6 months from now 1 year from now Long-term What are specific questions and concerns or additional comments you wish to share with us

Planning Phase

Conduct a Site Analysis The designer examines the natural man-made cultural physcial and visual characteristics of the site This collection should be a thorough inventory of the sitersquos positive and negative qualities

Conduct a site analysis to identify existing features in the area(s) to be landscapes

Take measurements and photos for reference and scaling

Planning Phase Site Analysis

Planning Phase Site Analysis 1048707 Identify orientation of the house on the lot 1048707 Identify direction that the house faces 1048707 Identify natural conditions bull Soil bull Existing plant material bull Existing shade (microclimate) bull Presence of wildlife bull Winds (breezes) bull Terrain features 1048707 Identify man made features bull Recreational areas (swimming pools etc) bull Lighting bull Off site views bull Noise bull Architectural style bull Closeness of neighbors bull Parking areas bull Utilities bull Existing structures 1048707 Identify cultural features (features associated with human society) bull Zoning regulations bull Closeness of public transportation

Planning Phase

Develop a Problem Statement ndash Defines the scope of the project in words and explains direction for the designer to follow This statement points out the current situation including both positive and negatives

Determine Objectives for the Design Project

USE Client interview Site survey Problem statement

Objectives should state what is to be addressed in the design

List how all objectives will be developed

Bubble Design

Bubble design are quick free flowing ideas of accommodating the clients wants needs and desires

This design action is to get a feel for the lay out it is not time consuming Public Area ndash Front of the house ldquoCurb

Appealrdquo 3 functions Attractive front Create a point of

entry and access to entry

Bubble Design conrsquot

Family Living Area The extension of the interior on the exterior An area that serves for outdoor entertaining EX Pool grill play area patio

Bubble Design conrsquot

Service Area The portion of the landscape that is utilitarian Normally located near the kitchen on the side or back of house This area is for sheds trash cans gardens etc This is not part of the public or private areas

Bubble Design conrsquot

Private Living Area The part of the landscape that typically joins the master bedroom Not normally in view of the public This area is designated for adult relaxation reading Normally small area may be screened Not always used based on house design

Design Phase

Draw a preliminary design- Refine the bubbles into actual rough draft objects and show how the landscape will be shaped There are normally more than 1 preliminary design presented to the client In some cases the designer will make over

layes to show modifications from original landscape

Design Phase o Draw the final planmdashincorporates all the suggestions

and reactions of the client into a master drawing that is detailed and completely specific in

its intent for the landscape 1048707 Select a scale that will allow the total site to be

reproduced on a workable size paper and still leave room for title block notes and other

needed information 1048707 Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to

square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the

drawing board 1048707 Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to

begin the plan 1048707 Begin the sheet layout bull Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right

bottom or extreme right

Design Phase o Client and designer information 1048707 clientrsquos name 1048707 clientrsquos address 1048707 designerrsquos name 1048707 designerrsquos address o Drawing information 1048707 sheet title 1048707 scale 1048707 North arrow 1048707 date bull Location on the paper o Plan should be off center toward the left andor toward the top of the paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor at the bottom of the paper o Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

Design Phase

1048707 Assign use areas to appropriate parts of the property 1048707 Select focal points and locate them within the appropriate use areas 1048707 Shape each use area to direct attention to the focal point and to relate focal point

to adjoining use areas 1048707 Retain the shapes from the step above and convert the lines to planting beds and other outdoor wall elements 1048707 Define the function to be served by each plant in the design 1048707 Select plant species that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to

represent their mature size and plant type 1048707 Select enclosure surfacing and enrichment items to complement the total design and use symbols to represent them 1048707 Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols 1048707 Compile a list of all plant species used and the total number needed of each 1048707 Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using computer design program print appropriate size plan

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Irrigation Design Phase 1048707 Plan should be off-center toward the left andor toward the top of the

paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor

at the bottom of the paper 1048707 Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side

of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

o Draw or copy existing features from the lot including buildings property lines utilities plants hardscapes etc

o Select irrigation components that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to represent their types and locations

o Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols

o Compile a list of all irrigation components used and the total number needed of each

o Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using

computer design program print appropriate size plan

have information about the site wants needs and visions This is the time to educate the client about possibilities the outdoor site has to offer Follow the client interview guidelines

Planning Phase

Conducting a client interview ( Guidelines) Ask the client questions to gather information needed to

design a plan

When we first meet you at your home we will interview you to

find out your desires and ideas Well ask you questions about your lifestyle likes and dislikes and budget requirements For example if you are thinking about a back yard patio some questions we might ask include 1How much time do you and your family enjoy spending outside 2When you entertain family and friends how large is the gathering 3When you are inside the house what views are important when you are looking out

Our Landscape Design Questionnaire Please let us help you in creating your personalized outdoor living experience This form will be most helpful to us if you elaborate and detail your wants and needs How should your new landscape function How much do you plan on entertaining guests Are aesthetics

highest priority What are your pressing needs Specific needs How old are your children if any Future family plans What do you want Do you desire or plan to grow food or other consumables ie cut flowers medicinal culinary herbs fruit trees food forest garden mushroom logs and herb spiral Have you considered the possibility of deriving an income from your property Do you plan on having Terra Nova continue with maintenance after install completion What are some favorite features ie favorite colors fragrances favorite plants What plants are specifically not desired What type of animals do you have How many Future plans for a chicken coop etc When you close your eyes and imagine your idealdream garden what does it look like What do you hear

And smell What do you see in your neighborhood that you like or that are appropriate Or in the closest natural area Are you concerned with resource conservation and reducing your monthly utility bills Can we explore grading

and greywater techniques that significantly reduce your water consumption for irrigation Irrigation Automatic or manual Drip OK What are known drainage issues or problems How about other house foundation neighbor issues

underground utilities etc that may not be visible What are known pest problems Do you currently use compost andor worm bins May we assist you in doing so What are your interests in landscaping for beneficials and wildlife habitat How do you feel about substituting conventional lawn for an herb lawn or a flowering meadow when

appropriate What is your current budget 6 months from now 1 year from now Long-term What are specific questions and concerns or additional comments you wish to share with us

Planning Phase

Conduct a Site Analysis The designer examines the natural man-made cultural physcial and visual characteristics of the site This collection should be a thorough inventory of the sitersquos positive and negative qualities

Conduct a site analysis to identify existing features in the area(s) to be landscapes

Take measurements and photos for reference and scaling

Planning Phase Site Analysis

Planning Phase Site Analysis 1048707 Identify orientation of the house on the lot 1048707 Identify direction that the house faces 1048707 Identify natural conditions bull Soil bull Existing plant material bull Existing shade (microclimate) bull Presence of wildlife bull Winds (breezes) bull Terrain features 1048707 Identify man made features bull Recreational areas (swimming pools etc) bull Lighting bull Off site views bull Noise bull Architectural style bull Closeness of neighbors bull Parking areas bull Utilities bull Existing structures 1048707 Identify cultural features (features associated with human society) bull Zoning regulations bull Closeness of public transportation

Planning Phase

Develop a Problem Statement ndash Defines the scope of the project in words and explains direction for the designer to follow This statement points out the current situation including both positive and negatives

Determine Objectives for the Design Project

USE Client interview Site survey Problem statement

Objectives should state what is to be addressed in the design

List how all objectives will be developed

Bubble Design

Bubble design are quick free flowing ideas of accommodating the clients wants needs and desires

This design action is to get a feel for the lay out it is not time consuming Public Area ndash Front of the house ldquoCurb

Appealrdquo 3 functions Attractive front Create a point of

entry and access to entry

Bubble Design conrsquot

Family Living Area The extension of the interior on the exterior An area that serves for outdoor entertaining EX Pool grill play area patio

Bubble Design conrsquot

Service Area The portion of the landscape that is utilitarian Normally located near the kitchen on the side or back of house This area is for sheds trash cans gardens etc This is not part of the public or private areas

Bubble Design conrsquot

Private Living Area The part of the landscape that typically joins the master bedroom Not normally in view of the public This area is designated for adult relaxation reading Normally small area may be screened Not always used based on house design

Design Phase

Draw a preliminary design- Refine the bubbles into actual rough draft objects and show how the landscape will be shaped There are normally more than 1 preliminary design presented to the client In some cases the designer will make over

layes to show modifications from original landscape

Design Phase o Draw the final planmdashincorporates all the suggestions

and reactions of the client into a master drawing that is detailed and completely specific in

its intent for the landscape 1048707 Select a scale that will allow the total site to be

reproduced on a workable size paper and still leave room for title block notes and other

needed information 1048707 Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to

square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the

drawing board 1048707 Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to

begin the plan 1048707 Begin the sheet layout bull Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right

bottom or extreme right

Design Phase o Client and designer information 1048707 clientrsquos name 1048707 clientrsquos address 1048707 designerrsquos name 1048707 designerrsquos address o Drawing information 1048707 sheet title 1048707 scale 1048707 North arrow 1048707 date bull Location on the paper o Plan should be off center toward the left andor toward the top of the paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor at the bottom of the paper o Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

Design Phase

1048707 Assign use areas to appropriate parts of the property 1048707 Select focal points and locate them within the appropriate use areas 1048707 Shape each use area to direct attention to the focal point and to relate focal point

to adjoining use areas 1048707 Retain the shapes from the step above and convert the lines to planting beds and other outdoor wall elements 1048707 Define the function to be served by each plant in the design 1048707 Select plant species that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to

represent their mature size and plant type 1048707 Select enclosure surfacing and enrichment items to complement the total design and use symbols to represent them 1048707 Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols 1048707 Compile a list of all plant species used and the total number needed of each 1048707 Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using computer design program print appropriate size plan

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Irrigation Design Phase 1048707 Plan should be off-center toward the left andor toward the top of the

paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor

at the bottom of the paper 1048707 Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side

of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

o Draw or copy existing features from the lot including buildings property lines utilities plants hardscapes etc

o Select irrigation components that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to represent their types and locations

o Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols

o Compile a list of all irrigation components used and the total number needed of each

o Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using

computer design program print appropriate size plan

Bubble Design conrsquot

Family Living Area The extension of the interior on the exterior An area that serves for outdoor entertaining EX Pool grill play area patio

Bubble Design conrsquot

Service Area The portion of the landscape that is utilitarian Normally located near the kitchen on the side or back of house This area is for sheds trash cans gardens etc This is not part of the public or private areas

Bubble Design conrsquot

Private Living Area The part of the landscape that typically joins the master bedroom Not normally in view of the public This area is designated for adult relaxation reading Normally small area may be screened Not always used based on house design

Design Phase

Draw a preliminary design- Refine the bubbles into actual rough draft objects and show how the landscape will be shaped There are normally more than 1 preliminary design presented to the client In some cases the designer will make over

layes to show modifications from original landscape

Design Phase o Draw the final planmdashincorporates all the suggestions

and reactions of the client into a master drawing that is detailed and completely specific in

its intent for the landscape 1048707 Select a scale that will allow the total site to be

reproduced on a workable size paper and still leave room for title block notes and other

needed information 1048707 Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to

square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the

drawing board 1048707 Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to

begin the plan 1048707 Begin the sheet layout bull Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Irrigation Design Phase 1048707 Plan should be off-center toward the left andor toward the top of the

paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor

at the bottom of the paper 1048707 Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side

of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

o Draw or copy existing features from the lot including buildings property lines utilities plants hardscapes etc

o Select irrigation components that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to represent their types and locations

o Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols

o Compile a list of all irrigation components used and the total number needed of each

o Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using

computer design program print appropriate size plan

Bubble Design conrsquot

Family Living Area The extension of the interior on the exterior An area that serves for outdoor entertaining EX Pool grill play area patio

Bubble Design conrsquot

Service Area The portion of the landscape that is utilitarian Normally located near the kitchen on the side or back of house This area is for sheds trash cans gardens etc This is not part of the public or private areas

Bubble Design conrsquot

Private Living Area The part of the landscape that typically joins the master bedroom Not normally in view of the public This area is designated for adult relaxation reading Normally small area may be screened Not always used based on house design

Design Phase

Draw a preliminary design- Refine the bubbles into actual rough draft objects and show how the landscape will be shaped There are normally more than 1 preliminary design presented to the client In some cases the designer will make over

layes to show modifications from original landscape

Design Phase o Draw the final planmdashincorporates all the suggestions

and reactions of the client into a master drawing that is detailed and completely specific in

its intent for the landscape 1048707 Select a scale that will allow the total site to be

reproduced on a workable size paper and still leave room for title block notes and other

needed information 1048707 Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to

square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the

drawing board 1048707 Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to

begin the plan 1048707 Begin the sheet layout bull Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Irrigation Design Phase 1048707 Plan should be off-center toward the left andor toward the top of the

paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor

at the bottom of the paper 1048707 Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side

of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

o Draw or copy existing features from the lot including buildings property lines utilities plants hardscapes etc

o Select irrigation components that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to represent their types and locations

o Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols

o Compile a list of all irrigation components used and the total number needed of each

o Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using

computer design program print appropriate size plan

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

Program Planning Phase -Analyze characteristics of the site to determine water requirements of the plants to be irrigatedo Determine the needs and desires of the clientso Match needs of clients and capabilities of the site as closely as possibleo Determine the Gallons Per Minute (GPM) that the main water supply can provide to the irrigation systemo Divide the number in half and that is the maximum amount of gallons per minute that can be sent to any zone at one timeo Analyze the area to be irrigated and determine the best type of sprinkler to use in that location

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans o Take notice of the shape of the area and the irrigation

needs of the plant May be able to use a spray head instead of a rotary sprinkler o The sprinkler throw areas need to overlap to the

sprinkler head This allows for good coverage in windy conditions o Divide the sprinklers into zones based on the water

usage of the sprinklers in that area and the types of sprinklers in the area o Use the correct symbols to represent materials that will

be used o Locate the main water supply line All irrigation for the

system will come from the main supply line

Procedures Used to Develop Irrigation Plans

o Determine if water supply source is public or private All systems that use a public water

supply must have a back flow preventer off the main line to the irrigation system The symbol on an irrigation plan for a back flow preventer is

o For each Zone you will need a remote control valve The symbol for a remote control valve is

o The sprinkler is designated with a small round circle Ex

o To show the throw area of a sprinkler draw in the approximate area of the throw

Irrigation Design Phase o Select a scale that will allow the total site to be reproduced on a workable size

paper and still leave room for title block notes and other needed information o Place paper on a drawing board Use a T-square to square the paper on the drawing board and tape down the corners of the paper to the drawing board o Select the appropriate drawing instruments needed to begin the plan o Begin the sheet layout 1048707 Title Information (Title Block) should be located on right bottom or extreme right side of sheet bull client and designer information bull clientrsquos name bull clientrsquos address bull designerrsquos name bull designerrsquos address 1048707 Drawing information bull sheet title bull scale bull North arrow bull date 1048707 Location on the paper

Irrigation Design Phase 1048707 Plan should be off-center toward the left andor toward the top of the

paper to allow for title block legend notes etc in blank white space on the right andor

at the bottom of the paper 1048707 Draw a border about frac12 inch to 1 inch at the top bottom and right side

of paper and make the left side border about an extra inch 1 frac12 to 2 inches from the side to allow for stapling or fastening the pages together

o Draw or copy existing features from the lot including buildings property lines utilities plants hardscapes etc

o Select irrigation components that will serve the roles needed and use symbols to represent their types and locations

o Label all elements of the plan and keep the lettering on or near the symbols

o Compile a list of all irrigation components used and the total number needed of each

o Trace the completed design on appropriate type paper if hand-drawn If using

computer design program print appropriate size plan
