Reshaping your turf? Creating a new path? Designing a gravel terrace? Pouring a new drive?
.
Bring a patio chair to the area & sit. FEEL the new area. Go inside your house & look out at the new area. Go to the outer edges and look in at the new area.
.
At each FEELING GAZE adjust string as needed. Perhaps only an inch maybe 6".
.
Do this for a week. A month. Whatever it takes.
.
Has your landscape been drawn to scale by an 'expert'? A landscape architect? Notice the fine print. It may say plus/minus 5'.
.
Dahlings, plus/minus 5' can be the difference between TRASH or NATIONALLY AWARD WINNING. (Ha, regardless of the thousands you spent!)
.
My own garden? Wouldn't think of a new garden area without first designing it then stringing it.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Pic taken at Lowe's last week. My new spool, all 2000+ feet, of string! Happily in the trunk of my car with the rest of my 'office', folding table/chair, large scale paper, & etc...
