Google and YouTube can give you a wealth of ideas. In addition, buy whatever you can afford in the way of tools and equipment to make jobs easier. Good items to have for a novice are spade shovel, rakes, kneeling pad, pruning shears, etc. Either a wheel barrow, or even better, a 4-wheel lawn cart will be extremely handy and save you a lot of carrying heavy plants, bushes, fertilizer, etc. from the car to the yard. Happy landscaping!
Have you looked online and have ideas as to how you would like it to look? Draw it out on paper to use as a guide. This will help you in finding material. Remember, that it will be completed in phases over time. When shopping, always keep an eye out for deals on material/plants that fit into your plan. If by chance, you have a riding lawnmower, I suggest looking into a cart for it. This will save your back! This Old House is a really good resource!
