You’ve come to the conclusion that your landscape needs the attention of a professional designer. Before you meet with your designer there are a few things you should know or have at least given careful consideration. Doing so will make the design and installation process more efficient and enjoyable.
How do you intend to use the space? Do you wish to entertain outdoors and if so, for how many guests? Do you have meals catered in or prefer to cook for your guests? If you prefer to cook, having an outdoor kitchen may be important to you so you’re not sequestered indoors while your guests are outside. Do you play sports, have kids that need room to roam or dogs that have free rein of the yard? If so, a lawn may be invaluable to you. Maybe the yard is something you look at from inside. You are not one to sit in the garden but enjoy looking at it from within the home.
