A successful outdoor project begins with a plan based on individual needs and
preferences. Here are some thoughts to consider:
​
- What do you like most about your home’s surroundings?
- How much time do you want to spend outside, and what do you see yourself doing?
- How would you like to develop your outdoor living areas?
- What would you like to see out your windows?
- How might you describe your landscape interests?
- How would you like to feel in your garden?
- What do you like least about your home’s exterior spaces right now?
​
This questionnaire will focus on your specific needs and desires and the special character
of your site. These questions are not meant to be comprehensive but to stimulate your own
thinking about how you might derive the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your outdoor
living space.
