Day 3: the consult

Craving a backyard that was landscaped, I understood the importance of starting from scratch.

To say I was overwhelmed, is an understatement. I had NO idea where to begin.
I’ve never tackled such a large-scale project on my own.

I also realized it was in my best interest to hire a landscape design consultant.
Someone to help craft a plan that would solve my erosion issues, figure out the best native plants for for sunny and shady areas and most importantly create an organic space where I could entertain “al fresco”.

Bonnie was great. The consultation lasted 4 hours.
She allowed me to see my yard through a new lens.
The plan was extremely detailed and she walked me through EVERYTHING.
A couple of the items will require a contractor the others projects I plan to tackle myself.

I’m excited to get the Backyard 2.0 project started.
Are you with me?
