In recent years, trends in landscape design have allowed consumers to transform outdoor areas in both public and private sectors.  Designers and homeowners, alike, are incorporating landscape elements like plants, hardscaping, entertainment areas and much more to create unique outdoor living areas.  And while being able to incorporate all of these features is desirable, one must consider cost.  

According to industry expert, Maureen Gilmer, these tips can save consumers thousands on new landscaping projects.  Without sacrificing any of the project’s design qualities, the tips include:
1.  Reducing plant sizes
