The factors that influence successful landscape planning are often complex. To get a good start we need to know where we want to get to and what our committment of time and money will be. Then we discuss style, existing features and needs, changes (such as grade, soil, light and focal elements), maintenance and other aspects that help to reach your goals. Then we plan, draw and rediscuss. Parameters, vision, creativity, knowledge, presentation, experience and implementation. Each as important as the next.
