Overview
At Designing Eden, we feel that the landscape
design phase is the most important part of any project. The success
or failure of any built environment will directly relate to the
landscape design. That is why you, the homeowner, need to do your
homework.
The design and installation of a landscape
is a big undertaking. Not only financially, but aesthetically. Curb
appeal is the first thing you and everyone else will see as you
enter your property. The landscape sets the mood for a house and
enhances the lives of everyone who views it. You do not want to
leave that up to just anyone. A recent article in Money Magazine
said a homeowner could expect a 100-200% return on investment from
a new landscape.
No other home improvement project will bring such a
return as a new landscape. Not only do the studies show we will
live longer, healthier, happier lives with attractive landscapes
around our houses, but it is also a good investment. Sound too good
to be true? There is a catch. Money Magazine is not talking about
ripping out your existing landscape and renovating with a bunch
of hemlocks and yews. They are talking about a well thought out,
professionally designed landscape that takes everything into consideration:
Your house's architectural style, it's setting, solar orientation,
and soil type. A creative, personalized, environmentally sensitive
landscape created for you and your site. Where proper plant selection
and placement is important. Allowing plants to grow naturally so
they don't need to be trimmed every month into unnatural shapes
just to keep the plants under the window sill. It always amazes
me how many "professionals" put those innocent 5 foot evergreen
shrubs into a foundation planting, only to have it grow into a 50
foot monster.
We take what we do seriously and we do what
is right for your property. Landscape design is not only our profession,
but our passion.
