Do-It-Yourself Landscape Design Kit Checklist

Before turning in your Landscape Design Kit, please make sure you have taken care of the following items:

___  Please read through the copy so you understand exactly what will be done for you
       after you turn in this kit.

___  When filling out the questionnaire, it is important for the designer to hear from you! 
       Take your time and fill in all appropriate answers.  Remember, these are your
       thoughts and ideas for the designer to get to know you and understand what you
       would like to achieve.

       -Make sure you list the plants or objects that you want to stay in your yard.
       -Try to convey how it is that you want your garden to ‘feel’.
       -Make sure you list the plants that you like, and even more importantly, the plants you
        do not like.  Colors included.  Our designers will try to use the types of plants that
        YOU enjoy having, and stay away from the ones you really do not like.

___   Don’t forget the pictures.  “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and that certainly
        applies to our landscape kit.  The more the merrier for our designers.

___   Don’t be intimidated drawing the overhead sketch showing the dimensions of the area
        to be landscaped.  If using the grid system makes you uneasy or you don’t
        understand how to use it, simply draw the area as you would see it from above, and
        then mark each line with the appropriate length. These dimensions are so important
        for our designers to draw your design to scale, as well as making sure they use the
        correct number of plants, and choosing the correct size of plants.

So please take your time when putting together your landscape design packet.  The more you can tell us, the better job we can do developing a design just for you and your landscape.   Thank you!
