You don't need a six-figure budget.
You need a plan.
Most backyard projects don't go wrong because of money. They go wrong because they start in the wrong place: buying plants before there's a layout, pouring a patio before there's a vision, or hiring out jobs you could have done yourself.
In this free live webinar, landscape designer Michael Bernier walks you through the exact 10-step process he uses with professional clients, scaled for homeowners and DIYers.

Meet your host
Michael Bernier
Director of Design, Michael Bernier Design
Michael Bernier left a successful career as an advertising creative director to study landscape architecture at UCLA, where he found his true calling: combining design with his love of the natural world. His work now earns international recognition, including the 2025 Pro Landscaper International Award for his climate-resilient concept at Scottsdale Ranch, and his Living Human™ model for intentional communities was a finalist for a major international design award.
Michael's mission is to reconnect people with nature through the garden: "I want to bring forth more beauty into the world, while inspiring and empowering others to do the same." After teaching an online landscape design course at Emory University, Michael founded the Think Outside Landscape Design Academy to teach both landscape professionals and DIYers. He is now writing his first book about designing a fulfilling life by creating with nature.
