1. What’s your style inspiration?
Are you looking for the English cottage style, a formal Italian garden design or the greenery and studied tranquillity of an Eastern landscape? Perhaps you are set on the latest design trend or a glossy, shiny architectural exterior, or establishing the garden as an outdoor room?
Make your decision based on what you love and what is the essence of a garden for you, rather than what you feel you should have in your outdoor space.
