Budget: When planning out a landscape it is important to know what your budget is. This could be annually or total. We often break down projects into phases. This helps us design to fit within your budget, and still accomplish your goals. If you don't really know what your budget might be, even rough numbers help with a target. We can always revisit preliminary estimates and explore different options.

Have you considered how much you would like to invest in your landscape? (i.e. Total)

Are you interested in doing the entire project at one time, or will you do it in phases?

List in order of their priority; list your desired objectives and motivations in making these improvements:
