Abstract
Designing a landscape is much like designing the interior of a house. Colors, patterns, and textures must be arranged in a manner that is functional and suits the taste of the owner. The one major difference with landscape design is that most of the elements are living, providing seasonal change and forever growing taller and wider. An experienced garden designer has the ability to figure all this information into the design, but the homeowners must do their homework and be prepared to talk to the designer. This fact sheet will help when working with a landscape designer.
