Practical Garden Plans Shaped Around Your Home
Every garden starts with a conversation about your home, lifestyle, site and budget. Tony develops garden ideas into a coordinated design that can cover outdoor living areas, paving, retaining walls, decking, lighting, irrigation, planting, turf, mulch and soil.
Depending on the project, the design process can progress from an initial concept to detailed hardscape and softscape plans. These plans give you and the people building your garden a clear picture of what is intended.
