Residential Landscape Design
Every homeowner dreams of having their own landscape that is beautiful and unique to their own style, property and lifestyle. They often research their neighborhood, look at garden and landscape magazines, watch home improvement TV shows, gather inspiration images and assemble a palette of materials for their project.
Unfortunately, many homeowners’ efforts to develop their own landscape result in unfocused or over-complicated designs and unnecessary purchases that do not reflect their goals, needs and desires. This is especially true of “simple” do-it-yourself projects that may be based on ideas and suggestions from magazines, websites, home improvement TV shows, and employees at local big box home improvement stores.
Every professional Residential Landscape Design and Construction develops his or her own design process, emphasizing some steps while minimizing or eliminating others. However, it is not enough to develop a design process; it is necessary to know each step of the process and learn what works and what doesn’t so that you can use those skills effectively in your career as a landscape designer.
