How to Design Your Yard Around How You Actually Want to Live | Landscape Design Secrets

Brent Loberg Season 1 Episode 35

Diana Grundeen never planned on becoming a landscape designer, she just wanted to skip a boring science class. That detour turned into a 30-year career building pollinator-friendly yards and helping homeowners rethink how they want to live outside. In this episode, we dive into the art of residential landscape design, from her “speed-dating your yard” consultation process and the rise of the pollinator movement to why most patios are too small, how lawns-to-legumes programs work, and the emotional payoff of seeing a yard in a completely new way.
