For many homeowners, their yard is just a plain stretch of grass that needs to be mowed and maintained—but it can be so much more than that. With the right planning and purpose, any yard can be transformed into an outdoor living space where you’ll love spending time. Take a minute to learn about two factors you should consider when planning your landscape design in West Palm Beach.
Your Budget
First, it’s crucial to have a solid idea of your budget before the design process begins. Knowing how much money you can spend on your new landscape will determine how much work can be completed. This will help you prioritize the elements that are most important to the overall look and function of your landscape.
Your Property
Many people choose to browse through magazines and websites looking for inspiration for their landscape. Although this is a great place to start, it’s important not to forget that your lawn or yard may not be set up the same as on the page or screen. In other words, you have to work with what already exists on your property, as opposed to what exists in the examples. Take a look at your property and find some standout features. Then, consider using these features as your new inspiration or focal point instead of what you see in print or online.
