“There are a few people out there in the world who have an intuitive sense of how things should be put together, and everyone else doesn't. If you barge ahead on your own, you can create some maintenance problems down the road that could have been avoided.”
“Many times, people don't contact a landscape architect until after the sidewalk is poured, the driveway is poured, the deck is built, and the landscaper comes in and says, 'Oh, wow. We could do this if this wasn't already done.' You should contact the designer early; they can turn that rectilinear straight walk into a nice curving path.”
“One thing that is particularly challenging for us as landscapers is scale. There are huge homes now, and to try to bring those into scale with the landscape is real hard. How do you begin to reduce the impact of a four-stall garage?”
