Make the yard read like a finished room.
Termix Yard Plan turns fragmented outdoor space into one precise, buildable composition: arrival, dining, planting, storage, and lighting arranged as a single drawing instead of five separate decisions.

Why this format works
The plan is both pitch deck and punch list.
It gives homeowners enough atmosphere to say yes and gives contractors enough clarity to price the work without rebuilding the idea from scratch.
Use map
Yards designed around movement, not just decoration.
We map how mornings start, where guests bottleneck, where muddy shortcuts appear, and where storage quietly takes over. The plan responds to actual traffic instead of idealized renderings.
Material rhythm
Hardscape, softscape, and lighting read as one composition.
Every plan combines surfaces, planting mass, and nighttime visibility so the space feels coherent at noon, dusk, and after rain. No stranded stepping stones. No mystery corners.
Builder handoff
A concise sheet your contractor can price fast.
You get zoning logic, dimensions, and installation priorities in a format that makes trade conversations shorter. The goal is fewer revisions and less budget drift.
Layer stack
One plan, four reading modes.
Read the yard by circulation, materials, planting density, or night behavior. The geometry holds together in every mode.
01
Arrival Court
Permeable pavers, tool pull-off, and a cleaner threshold from drive to gate.
02
Long Table Strip
A narrow dining terrace shaded by cable lines and a cedar edge bench.
03
Edible Border
Herbs, espalier fruit, and pollinator pockets along the warmest fence line.
04
Night Loop
Low-glare path lights and scene-based zones for dinner, cleanup, and late lounging.
Rollout sequence
Built to move from sketch to shovel fast.
The process stays short on purpose: capture the site accurately, choose the dominant moods, then lock the material kit before budget noise starts to spread.
01
Measure the edges
Existing trees, drainage, utility routes, and the awkward constraints that usually get ignored first.
02
Assign the moods
Quiet pocket, workbench zone, long-table zone, and the circulation path that keeps them from colliding.
03
Lock the kit
Plant palette, surface families, lighting temperatures, and one clear rollout order for the build.
