LANDSCAPE DESIGN - REDEFINED
As California’s climate becomes drier, homeowners are under increasing pressure to reduce their water usage. In the current economy, many homeowners also have more limited budgets available to devote to external landscaping. This includes more limited dollars available for watering and maintaining our yards.
But with these changes come opportunities to design and care for our gardens in new and interesting ways. Garden traditions are being redefined to reflect current knowledge about soil health and water-conserving landscape techniques. San Carlos GardenWorks can help you bridge between the old approaches and the new. Love roses? Check out the new Flower Carpet, disease-resistant roses. Can’t quite bring yourself to lose the grass? How about trying one of the new “no-mow” meadow grasses by Delta Bluegrass? Equally important, I am experimenting with a new approach to providing landscape design services. With my Streamline Design service, I can now provide certain design assistance that is much less expensive than what a traditional landscape planning process would cost.
MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LANDSCAPING DOLLARS
Your home and surrounding landscape may be your single greatest investment. I can help you make the most of that investment. I now offer two primary ways of working with clients:
- Streamline Designs. Working on-site with you to redesign your existing outdoor spaces. If requested, I can also provide detailed information on how to most cost-effectively maintain your gardens, including simple ways you may be able to reduce your irrigation and electrical bills. This is a very inexpensive service compared to more traditional design approaches in which formal Architectural Plans must be prepared.
- Full-on Residential Master Landscape Planning. Typically done for either new homes or remodels.
Both of these are described under the Services section of my website. For additional information, please contact me by email: karen@hunt106.net .
