This is a big project so you'll want to plan it carefully. Start by creating a map of your landscape, including house dimensions, existing trees and shrubs, patios and other "hardscapes," and anything else you'll want to keep. Then make a "wish list" of all the items you want and sketch them into your map. There are many resources to help you design your back yard; here is one book to consider:
