When You Are Ready to Start Your Landscaping Dream Project
Before you are ready to start your landscaping project, you need to ask yourself a few questions, such as do you want to transform your property into a relaxing getaway or an enchanted garden, a more recreational oriented space or a combination of all three? If you are landscaping for your business property – what kind of image are you creating for your clients?
When contemplating your landscape design needs,it is helpful to have an idea of what your goals are, what kind of budget you are willing to allocate to this garden/landscape design and installation, and have your dream designed to a degree, at least mentally. Then it is time to contact your landscape architect.
Usually at the top of the list is to maximize the enjoyment of your property and space and an added bonus that is sometimes a pleasant surprise – it will increase your property value.
Considerations:
What is your style?
- Do you like a more formal atmosphere for entertaining?
- Does your taste run more to an English garden setting?
- For your home do you want that custom pool and surrounding atmospheric landscaping?
- What special features do you desire? An outdoor kitchen, waterfalls, play areas, fountains?
- What kind of trees and flowers do you prefer?
- What materials do you enjoy – such as floral elegance, extensive water features, granite materials (just to name a few).
Choosing the Right Professional Landscape Architect:
Your best choice for a landscape architect will be a licensed, experienced designer who will create the best design for your property and terrain, and not only design your dream landscape, but is able to translate this design into reality with the proper installation.
Professional Landscaping is a Creative Undertaking:
You aren’t really buying a landscape. You are utilizing the services of a talented landscape designer and builder, and depending upon your ultimate project, your relationship with your landscape architect can last for as long as it takes to complete the installation, or it can last for years, as your tastes change or you would like to make ongoing additions to your landscaped getaway, or in the event that you are landscaping your business property, the ultimate inviting atmosphere for your clients.
