Probably the hardest thing to accomplish is coming up with an idea that will suit your homes specific current layout and what will work and what wont. Seeing other yards, and how it sets the look of the home, trying to picture how their appealing look could fit in your picture sometimes would work, most of the time not.
How can I accomplish what I want my yard to look like with shrubs, rock terraces, flower beds. Raised gardens set things off great, maybe a small pond and different layouts of attractiveness without hiring an expensive company to do this for me?

Raised garden beds, wether flower or vegetable, are ideal for areas where soil quality is poor. Drainage can also be managed and they can be placed in a decorative layout design. And they just look good!

Weed barrier material is important when using raised beds and can be placed under just about anything to prevent having to hassle with unwanted weeds or sprouts of any kind.

Curb or road appeal is a goal of yours, sure, but I'm all in favor of keeping the best view for yourself, inside looking out! Its your yard.

First of all, get some pictures and ideas to go by. A "blueprint" or a plan, in terms to speak with. You can look at multiple ideas and create your own by combining applications from all the ideas.

Tools are usually basic, depends on what you want to work with. A shovel, a rake, wheelbarrow, hand or electric saw, hammer, stringline, a level , etc. You probably know the tools necesary, just be sure to think it through first. Be sure to clean your tools when you are done with them. If you dont have a place to store them and if you're gonna be using them from time to time, consider a storage for all your yard tools.
Storage sheds can as well be attractive and this keeps the tools out of your garage! You can also build your own shed easily with detailed plans/blueprints found on the site referenced at the bottom of this article.

Consider water run-off, you dont want water running towards the foundation of you house. This will damage your foundation. Try not to make much water run on someone elses property. These two factors can be avoided with terraces and you might have to manage the dirt to slope away from your foundation. Don't forget about property lines also.

Safety. Look what is overhead if you are doing anything that would interfere with power lines and cables. The biggest overlooked thing is "buried" utility wires and cables. Water lines are considerable to. Look in your phone book or contact your utility company for a "CALL BEFORE YOU DIG" number to call. If you are unsure of buried utility locations in your yard, do not dig before they locate and mark any lines!

This brief explanation should be helpful with what you might need and some things to consider. If you have children or know of one(s) that might benifit from "hands on" fun, then I encourage you to let them help and be sure to practice safety measures with them!
