Before the Designer arrives, here are some things you can
do to ensure a productive consultation:
- Decide exactly which areas in your yard will be addressed.
Focus on the areas that you plan to work on first. You will
get more for your money from the Designer if you don't try to
cover too much territory during the meeting. (Average consultation:
45-60 minutes).
- Visit Hudgins to look at the stock before
the consultation. Write down the names of plants that appeal
to you. Also, note the sizes and prices of the suggested
material. You may also visit the Arboretum & even well
landscaped yards (ask homeowner first) to get ideas of things
you like......and things you don't like.
- Write down questions that you may want to ask the Designer as
well as all ideas that you may want to share. Be prepared,
as the hour will quickly pass.
During the consultation:
- Our Designer will be ready to get down to business shortly after
arrival, so be ready to think plants.
- Show the Designer the areas that are to be addressed, if you
know of any problems or unusual circumstances that may exist in
the target areas, let it be known. Example:
poor drainage, hidden stumps, pet problems, etc.
- Enjoy the experience! Imagine being an artist with your
property being the canvas. Let the creativity of our Designer
turn your project into a masterpiece.
You will enjoy it for years to come.
After the consultation:
- Review your design; write down anything that you may want to
remember while the ideas are fresh in your mind.
- Visit the team at Hudgins to see what the plants that have been
suggested look like. You may have some options to choose
from. Also, look at the sizes of the plants, to be sure
they are as big (or as small) as you visualized. Remember
that some height will be lost when stock is planted (depth of
the root ball).
- Pick out and tag your new plants. Arrange a professional
installation by Hudgins Garden Center & Nursery.
Be sure to take some before and after shots of your project.
You will be pleased that so much is accomplished with a professional
consultation.
