Combine Landscaping Elements
Landscaping plans rarely include plants only. Landscaping plans also frequently include pouring concrete patios, stonework, pathways, pergolas and irrigation.
When combining landscaping elements, it will be essential to visualize how the various elements work together. Allocating a small portion of the budget for the cost of landscape design is a great way to see how it all comes together.
In addition, a professional designer in charge of the overall plan should be able to make recommendations about building materials and offer insight into what unseen irrigation or drainage requirements there might be.
