Don't start by planting. Start by planning. Draw a scale plan of the whole
area, consider sun, views, wind, use now and in the future, consider the
situation in all seasons of the year. There is no point (for example) in
planting a big tree where it will shade your vege plot or fill your gutters
with leaves.

plus you can fix the soil and drainage
problems before putting in paths and other
decorations or features that are a pain
to work around later.
