When spending for a goal, how do I enter the charge? (edited)

When withdrawing from a goal when funds are spent toward that goal, how do you enter that charge? I saved for landscaping. Now when I purchase something toward that goal, my home improvement category is well over the usual. But if I increase that category it's like money going toward two things, the category and the savings goal. Same if I put the charges as uncategorized. Would be nice to tie charges directly to the goal. I did add a tag for the charges to the goal but that didn't change my category from going over.

    There is no link between savings goals and transactions at this time. The way I would handle it if I did this is that when I made the purchase, I would hide it from the spending plan (and possibly reports too), since the savings goal already accounted for the spending amount.
