About Helping Hand Landscape Design

Most yards begin as a rectangle of tired grass and a vague wish, and the first real work happens on paper at a kitchen table. Helping Hand Landscape Design starts there, walking the lot to learn where the afternoon sun lands, where the deep old lots near Kottinger Park hold their shade, and what the ground does when the creek side gets its winter share of rain. October is a good month for drawing, because anything decided then can go in the ground while the soil is still soft. A plan sorts the whole thing out in order: bed lines, the shape of the lawn, plants chosen for a long dry summer, and irrigation laid out before the first shovel moves. It is a fine thing to hand someone a sketch and then watch them stand in it a year later.
