Dreaming of a beautiful garden?

Filling out this design survey helps you and Garden Guy plan and execute the landscape you and your family have been dreaming of.

Let’s make your dreams come true!

Let’s approach the landscape design for your home as a 3-layer cake.
Starting from the bottom of the cake, here are the ‘layers.’

III. BASE– The base of the cake is the bottom layer and it’s where the strength to support the top layers comes from.

The BASE includes 3 ELEMENTS: SITE, THEME & THRESHOLD

SITE:

What areas do you want landscaped?

Do you have any unique challenges or attributes in your yard that should be mentioned? (ie: drainage problems, areas where nothing will grow, etc.)

THEME:

What landscape theme have you envisioned? Check all boxes below that apply. We can mix elements to create your special look.

Rustic Hill Country ( Simple lines, casual & relaxed, colorful untamed plantings, unpainted wood, local stone for accents, rock borders, flagstone pathways, dry river bed, utilizing found objects like old tools, watering cans, lanterns for planters and a private sitting area)

Cottage Garden (Abounds in colors, shapes, sizes and textures. Includes antique roses, flowering vines, trellised flowers, perennials, water feature for sound, a gazebo or arbor with a bench, soft grassy pathways & small kitchen/herb garden)

Wildlife Habitat (attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and native-birds with Buddleia, Butterfly Weed, Zinnias, Impatiens, Salvia, Pentas, Bee Balm and much more. Include a water source like a birdbath and certify your yard with the National Wildlife Federation!)

Formal (straight, formal lines with compact and defined plantings, straight bordered paver or brick patio area)

Tropical (exotic plants, bold lush foliage, flowering vines, palm trees, hibiscus, water features & flagstone pathways/patio)
