The short answer
Plan resort landscaping in the order a guest experiences it: gate, drive, lobby, pathways, pool and rooms. Decide what each zone should make the guest feel, then choose plants, lawn and irrigation to match. Plan water and care from day one, so the landscape still looks good after the first season.
What to check
- 01
Walk the property as a guest
Start at the gate and note what a guest sees first, second and third.
- 02
Give each zone one job
Welcome at the gate, calm on the pathways, shade by the pool.
- 03
Plan water with the design
Large grounds stay green only when irrigation is planned with them.
- 04
Build in phases if needed
Start with the zones guests see first and add the rest later.
