Landscape Designer Patti Sanders presents a showcase landscape design installation at a St. Augustine residence that involved curb appeal, transplantings, adjustments to the landscaping design during the install, and clarification of the terms of the landscape plant warranty. \u201cIt is a huge house down here close to the beach,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cSo a lot of the plants we chose are salt resistant.\u201d People seek out landscape designers that they trust will assist them in choosing the right plants for the right place in the landscape.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Curb Appeal<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The homeowner is a realtor who knows the importance of curb appeal to property value. \u201cIt\u2019s all about how your house shows on camera,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cIt\u2019s about how your house shows online if you are trying to sell. They\u2019re not selling, but being a realtor, she knows the outside is essential. It adds value to your home as well.\u201d Besides being aesthetically pleasing, all of the plants suggested to the homeowner on the design should be choices that will thrive in the landscape. If plants require special care, the landscape designer must provide that information to the homeowner. As a result, all plant choices consider the appearance, impact in the landscape, and growing conditions.<\/p>\r\n
