R&A Magazine - Summer 2023 - 12

Following a family vacation in Costa Rica, our clients
returned inspired by a waterfall they had visited together.
They requested a similar experience in their back yard
and we were delighted to oblige.
In other words, a good designer will thoughtfully and
skillfully consider several parameters: the natural state
and boundaries of the site, the norms of the surrounding
community, the aesthetics of your home's design, your
preferences and dreams, and your budget.
Look to your designer to answer the following questions
in a way that makes sense to you:
* How will this landscape design look from inside the
house (through a window vs. from the street)?
* Will your garden be viewed as you " walk-through " or as
a " picture " from one setting?
* Will the structures and spaces be the right size and
type for your needs?
* How will rainwater move through the garden and keep
your home dry?
* What will this garden look like in 10 years or more? Will
it keep its value and beauty?
* How will the landscape appear in each season?
* What are the costs involved and how can they be managed
over time?
The answers to these questions should provide helpful
insight as you determine the suitability of the designer to
your proposed project.
We wish you joy in your garden-creation adventure!
