Do-it-Yourself Landscaping - YOU NEED A
PLAN!!
Rave Landscaping, Inc. is
NOW offering a design service
through a variety of different programs
that will enable the do-it-yourselfer or
your landscape maintenance man to
successfully install a professional
plan.
Don't
spend hundreds or even
thousands on plants that are not hardy,
are not suited to your site or soil
conditions, and are not resistant to
disease and deer damage. Very often, we
are called by unhappy do-it-yourselfers
who are struggling with plants that are
hard to manage, trees that have become
too large, and plants that do not
produce the desired results. Avoid these
problems by requesting our design
services.
To Avoid Mistakes, Start With a
Professional PLAN
You wouldn't build a
house without a set of plans; the same
holds true for creating the landscape.
All outdoor areas need to be functional
as well as attractive. We can assist
you in creating a plan that suits your
needs, budget, and overall expectations
for as little as $75.00. Then we can
decide how you want to proceed. Take
advantage of our expert landscape
designers with over 100 years combined
experience.

Some Guidelines to Follow
|
Pictures
|
|
No matter which design option you
pick we need pictures.
Try to fill the entire frame of
the camera when taking pictures
of your area. If you can get far
enough back you can fit the
entire area in one frame. If you
can not get back far enough you
will need to take several
pictures with an overlap on each
one. We can then piece them
together. Send at least 3
pictures - 6 at the most - the
more different angles the
better. |
|
|
Measurements |
|
 |
Accurate measurements will
result in a better landscape
plan.
- Locate property lines -
at least two sides are
required to locate house on
site.
- Note window and door
locations and measurements
between them.
- Note measurements of
existing driveway, walkways,
and patios.
- Note locations and
measurements of other items
of interest such as a pool,
swing sets, utility boxes,
well, etc.
- Either e-mail the
measurements to
diy@raveplants.com or
mail them to the address
below.
