The 15-Step DIY Landscape Plan (Part 2): Build It Right or Fix It Later
You planned it. You prepped it.
Now it’s time to build it—and this is where most DIY projects go wrong.
In Part 2, we walk through the critical build phase of the 15-step landscaping process—where trenching, underground installs, grading, and timing either lock in a successful project… or create problems you’ll be fixing later.
This episode covers:
How to properly mark and trench for underground systems
Installing drainage, irrigation, gas, and electrical the right way
Why poor compaction leads to sinking, shifting, and rework
The exact order of operations that keeps your project on track
What needs to be done before you move to finishing work
This is the difference between a project that lasts—and one that becomes a headache.
