Dreaming up your perfect landscape

Assessing your current landscape’s needs and potential

Thinking about your property differently

Just envision it: You walk out your back door to a beautiful, comfortable oasis. Transforming your yard isn’t only totally doable, but the process is also rewarding and yes, fun. The new look begins with new thinking: figuring out what you want most, finding inspiring ideas, and dovetailing those dreams with practical considerations.

Your new, improved landscape should be a place you and those you live with genuinely enjoy and use. The hardscape (the parts of your landscape that are physically hard, like a deck or fence) can create an outdoor room for relaxing as well as for entertaining from time to time. The plants can provide bright color, privacy, sunblock, or minimal maintenance — whatever you’re looking for. The idea is to make it yours, personalized the way you like it. It will become your outdoor home, practical and pretty.

Here we encourage you to think what’s possible. You can cross the bridge between dreaming and reality. We show you how in this chapter.
