In those cases where the general solutions are quite clear from the start, a little bit of extra thought can create an immensely satisfying solution -- far better than the initial impression. You simply have to keep the end result clearly in mind as you work your way through the plan.

Enough of the boring analytical aspect of design! Make up your own checklist of requirements and limitations and dreams and keep them firmly in mind from here on out. It will help you to weigh the upcoming alternatives and make some good choices.

Next week we move on to the sexy frou-frou and florals of "Finding your own Garden Style." I sure look forward to it, don't you?

In the meantime, check out the following excellent landscape and garden design pieces.
