Donna Pivik, a licensed landscape architect, believes that intelligent exterior space incorporates design principles such as simplicity, proportion and function, in addition to environmental considerations such as drainage, sun\/shade, and topography, to name a few.<\/p>\n
Typically, homeowners understand these principles as they relate to the interior of their home. However, applying these design principles to exterior environment is more difficult.<\/p>\n
For instance, the homeowner abandons notions such as simplicity, proportion and function in order to \u201cmust have\u201d the plant that is either, on sale, or \u201cBLOOMING NOW!\u201d After six years of \u201cmust have\u201d plants, not to mention wasted expense, little or no consideration to design principles, the outdoor space often looks a bit challenged.<\/p>\n
Compare the \u201cmust have\u201d approach to hiring a registered landscape architect who will listen to your concerns to develop a comprehensive, sustainable, creative exterior environment that addresses your landscape or hardscape needs within your budget!
