Thinking about Landscaping?

Think of your garden as another room, it must be sympathetic to the house and compliment your style. Here are some things we want you to think about when deciding on your garden space.

• If you don't have a design architect, gather ideas for your garden, think about your likes and dislikes, take notes.
  
  
• Inspire yourself, gather pictures, consider colours or anything that encourages your style.
  
  
• Think about the space completely, you do not want any leftover space at the end, are there any problem areas?
  
  
• What do you want the garden for? Do you have a family? Pets? Do you entertain alot? Is there a block of units overlooking your garden that you need to screen?
  
  
• Think about where the sun comes from - consider placing tress where they will cast shade in the summer.
  
  
• What native wildlife would I like to encourage, don't forget the potential of many natives to attract birds.
  
  
• Do you want a focal point like a pond or a water feature?
  
  
• What lighting would best enhance your space?
  
  
• Don't forget the budget.
  
  
• The front and rear gardens can be treated seperately, the front garden should compliment the style of your home, while the back garden can be a reflection of your style.
  
  
• Keep an open mind.

Of course, if you do not have the time or the inclination to worry about all the above factors we can help you. Just contact Wilson Pedersen Landscapes and we will make a time to see you and your garden space to discuss alternatives.
