You can go from a plain dirt yard to a magnificent creation of beauty. From a small back yard to an estate of 20 acres, we are only limited by our imagination.
Nothing beats having a pre-planned garden or yard. Whether you are doing it yourself or hiring a professional, designing your garden landscape first is always a wise choice.
Your home is one of the most expensive investments you make. The value of your home is not just in the wood and paint. An attractive yard can make even a plain, white, tract home shine.
As professionals, it is second nature for us to be able to see how certain plants, garden art or accents will best fit in a particular yard.
The missing element to that view is YOUR perspective.
Amateur designers unknowingly design for their portfolio or what they think looks great in their mind. Then they try to sell you their idea.
Unfortunately, the client then has to live with the outcome.
At Johnson Brothers Greenhouses, we do the opposite. We help you get down to the bottom line by finding out what you like. We will recommend specific ideas, but they are based upon what we learn about you.
Pre-Design Tips
You can choose garden plants and decor to match any theme, so be specific about what you like. Even if you are a do-it-yourself type of person, don't avoid this critical step to get the long-term results you want.
Your theme will help us both come up with the perfect color and natural transitions. Even in small garden designs, there can be several focal points to transition into. Duplicating with different elements will keep the theme alive without appearing monotonous.
A definite must is knowing the dimensions of the landscape design area. This helps us to ensure that the decor and garden plants are intentionally chosen to be proportionate to the size of the yard.
If you get down these few basic principles of landscape gardendesign, you are way ahead of most folks. Write down your theme, favorite colors, etc. and we can match up the decor and garden plants to your personal design.
