Good landscape design suits the garden to the client as well as to the site. \u00a0Some might enjoy the balance of a formal French garden, while others may prefer the flower-filled borders typical of the English garden. \u00a0There are those who prefer the serenity of a natural woodland garden filled with ferns and native perennials and the contemplative nature of a Japanese garden.<\/p>\n

As it should, the site and the house, as well as the clients own requests, will dictate the direction of the design. \u00a0Of course, there are practical issues that will define our creative vision. \u00a0Does the client have young children? \u00a0Is their primary concern low maintenance? \u00a0Do they want an elegant terrace for entertaining? \u00a0Whatever the parameters, all the essential elements for a successful project come together during the design process.<\/p>\n

We, at TLG, agree with Aldous Huxley that inspiration for our designs come from “the investigation of nature, which is an infinite pasture ground where all may graze, and where the more the bite, the longer the grass grows, the sweeter is its flavor, and the more it nourishes.”<\/p>\n

I encourage you to open your eyes to the possibilites that may lay hidden behind the trees…..<\/p>\n
