With different gardeners come different styles. With the same plot, each landscape designer will provide their unique talent to style the land with diverse patterns, ornaments, and plants. To be able to determine which garden is right for you, it is important to talk to your landscape designer thoroughly to ensure the transfer of ideas has occurred properly. This is such a crucial step that by just listening to the needs\/wants of my clients, I have gained their trust and am able to provide my services in the face of competitors. A recent example of this is at Roer\u2019s Zoofari (Reston, Virginia) for development of their new cheetah habitat.\u00a0 Other landscape companies wanted to interject waterfalls and other erroneous features into the exhibit, instead of doing what was most important: listening.<\/p>\n
If the designer has proper knowledge, their education would include intimate familiarity of how gardens developed throughout history, and they should easily be able to combine this with their understanding of plants to determine the best outcome for your space. This not only depends on the plants and history, but also sunlight, soil, surrounding architecture and gardens, topography, and temperature. To excel, a designer must understand the science behind soil, flora, and nature. This includes in depth knowledge of biology, ecology, botany, meteorology, geology, and most important chemistry. The art behind it all is how designers create the space to fit the imagination of the consumer. Talent development is achieved by aptly mixing the colors, textures and patterns of the numerous inflorescences, foliage and habit of plants in order to fit it to the environmental demands of that area. This takes some time and homework, especially if doing this to fit a specific theme as well. This is also where the cultured designer wins the bid over others. Below I will list some popular garden and landscaping ideas that may help you explain your big plans to your designer.<\/p>\n

With all of this in mind, remember to reference your site\u2019s soil chemistry and pH, light saturation and duration, temperature\/microclimate and surrounding architecture into design to maximize outcome.<\/p>\n
