It is kind of wearing when I open my window every day staring at my same old garden. It looks somehow neglected although I always keep it tidy and pretty. The same plants, same terrain, and same arbors, all look old on my garden. This itchy feeling is suddenly creeping on my palms, bringing an urge to make something new.
Then images of landscape start to pop out in my mind, the images of my neighbors' garden when I visited their house, the images of real estate advertisements where they put beautiful garden around the advertised houses, the images of my own fancy garden. Confusion slowly occupies my mind. To top that, I do not have any clue on what or where to begin with.
Fortunately, I do not have any hyperventilating issue. So I go to my pantry, prepare myself a hot cup of black coffee which sometimes helps a lot. While zipping my hot coffee, my eyes go to that same old garden outside my window, thinking where to get great ideas for landscaping. The stack of magazines on the book shelf looks appealing. I grab some, browse each page to seek beautiful garden pictures or residence advertisements, and not forgetting to put a sticky note on the page containing the landscape design I prefer for my garden.
After finishing with that, I open the noted pages to review each design once again. They are inspiring yet not really fitting the requirements I seek for my garden. Hence I approach my laptop to search more alluring ideas. Obviously there are hundreds designs of flawless gardens which need thorough evaluation before determining to save some for my own reference. Those designs indeed evoke more ideas for landscaping my sought garden.
The dimension of the most preferred design thereinafter should accommodate the terrain of my garden. Each garden has its own character that requires adjustment in every angle. It occurs to me that I probably need to seek advice from professionals on this, considering my lack of knowledge on landscape design. The consequence of this concern however is the escalating budget, especially their huge fees. Not yet to mention their choice of materials, plants, decorations, and deadline which on some cases I heard are long overdue. Such constraints should be excluded from my tight schedule and, of course, budget as well. Will the grand expectation and limited budget collide at perfect combination?
