In many professional landscape designs, you take it in quickly as a first impression by grasping the whole of it at a single glance. This impact is personal and emotional. It’s ‘impressive,’ and you admire it, or ‘alluring,’ and you’re drawn in to explore it.
Some remarkable designs often hide garden features and hardscape secrets you won’t see until they reveal in surprise after surprise. This is design genius.
Your first view of an arbor might be a wall of flowers or vines. Suddenly, you face the arbor tunnel and see through it to what might be beyond it. You see a spectacular view and come closer to see a sunken fire pit and viewing pad.
You turn a corner and look down at five layers of tree and shrub color line up before you along a path toward it. You sit comfortably on the patio where guests would dine and see deer move slowly by, grazing or taking shade.
A ribbon of lawn sloping to a level green is a croquet course. The canal of sand is a horseshoe pit. The stone patio and alcove is a seated view to hundreds of birds, quail, and butterflies feeding quietly in the sun. The landscape created a habitat and brought you a park. The design delivered the surprise.
The landscape professional will ask a few questions to help you plan the design elements. Will you pass through the garden or spend time there? Will you play sports or games in it? Will you entertain guests in it? Will you read, listen or watch it? Are children playing in it? Are you exercising, meditating, working in it? What wildlife do you want to see and attract? What privacy and quiet do you need?
Our professionals can deliver a design that’s impressive, comfortable, fun, quiet, unique, open, or full of surprise. Get in touch with us today to bring your Northern Nevada landscape vision to life!
