So, I have been living in my house for about 3 years now and I am finally starting to plan out my landscaping (thanks Richard for the inspiration). I have a few things in the ground, but want to make sure i have some organization with all of the trees I plan on planting in the next month or so. Here's a diagram of what I am planning:


It is still a work in progress, so I am open to any recommendations and please feel free to mock up the diagram. I am trying to maintain the view of the lake from the house as indicated by the brown lines, which will be bamboo trellises. also, the circle of bananas are meant to throw partial shade on my raised beds (the summer sun really does a number on my veggies).

What I have left to work in:
- grapes (back)
- dragon fruit (front/back)
- more palms (front and back)
- more bananas (front and back)
- koi pond (front/back)
- potted arbequina olive tree (front)
- carrie starfruit (front/back)
- multigrafted jaboticaba (back near lake)

Let me know what you think. I will start posting pics as i make progress.
