The system creates a flexible landscaping template that is physically placed over the land that is to be landscaped. The flexible landscaping template has graphics printed on its surface that identify a variety of plants, indicate planting positions, and identify a variety of soil conditioning products the plants. The graphics on the flexible landscaping template can also indicate the placement of water management conduits and electrical conduits, the placement of hardscaping products and/or the placement of construction foundations. The flexible landscaping template is generated using input from a user and environmental criteria for the land to be landscaped. Once the flexible landscaping template is generated, the materials identified on the flexible landscaping template are gathered into a shipping module by a supplier company. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A landscaping module for use in implementing a landscaping project on a plot of land, said module containing: a flexible landscaping template for placement over at least a section of said plot of land, said flexible landscaping template having graphics printed thereon, wherein said graphics identify a variety of plants, identify planting positions for said plants, and identify a variety of soil conditioning products for use at said planting positions; a plurality of plants that correspond to said variety of plants identified on said landscaping template; and soil conditioning products that correspond to said variety of soil conditioning products identified on said landscaping template. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein said module includes hardscaping products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said hardscaping products. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein said module includes soil protection products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said soil protection products. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein said module includes water management products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said water management products. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein said module includes construction products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said construction products. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein said landscaping template is fabricated from biodegradable material. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The module according to claim 1, wherein at least some of said plurality of plants have different soil requirements and said soil conditioning products include materials to create said different soil requirements. ### Claim 8 A landscaping module for use in implementing a landscaping project on a plot of land, said module containing: a flexible landscaping template for placement over at least a section of said plot of land, said flexible landscaping template having graphics printed thereon, wherein said graphics identify a variety of plants, identify planting positions for said plants, and identify a variety of hardscaping products by type and placement position; a plurality of plants that correspond to said variety of plants identified on said landscaping template; and hardscaping products that correspond to said variety of hardscaping products identified on said landscaping template. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said module includes soil conditioning products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said soil conditioning products. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said module includes soil protection products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said soil protection products. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said module includes water management products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said water management products. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said module includes electrical management products and said graphics on said landscaping template indicate placement positions for said electrical management products. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said module includes construction products and said graphics on said landscaping templates indicate placement positions for said construction products. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The module according to claim 8, wherein said landscaping template is fabricated from biodegradable material.
