Landscape can be a noun or a verb and describes either aesthetic scenery or the improvement of an area of land. If you live in the suburbs, your yard is your landscape. Likewise, if you live in a rural area your acreage is your landscape.
Landscaping can encompass anything that makes your property functional and/or appealing.

The following will discuss some of the services you can expect from a professional landscape architect.
Consultation
Whether you are considering landscaping services for your residential lawn or a commercial property like a business complex or park, professional landscape architects can help you get started with an initial consultation. This is the time to discuss the elements you want for your property and where the landscape professional explains what it will involve, the costs, and anything that will be needed for the property. You will get answers to questions and look at photos of their work as well as learn about sustainable landscapes.
Features
The features you choose can include fencing like stone walls, white picket fencing, and patio stones that fit into the colonial era. The main goal is to match and complement the current structure’s architecture instead of contrasting with less appealing features. Even the planter boxes and plants should fit into the era. People choose a landscape architect in Fairfield Connecticut to help them choose flowers like hydrangeas, hollies, and formal foliage.
Design
