How to make gears mesh properly.

Let's say you have a gear with a pitch diameter of 1" and then you have another one with a pitch diameter of 2". Would you place these gears exactly 1.5" apart? Or would you leave a few thousandths for backlash? Is a little backlash already accounted for in gear sizes? If you must account for it yourself, how do you know how much more to put them apart? Thanks
