Working with a landscape architect can help you create an outside environment that increases the market value of your home. They can help you come up with aesthetically pleasing ideas and can continue to maintain them.
As with any other major remodeling project, put together a notebook of design ideas for your yard. Study other yards and take pictures to create ideas and combinations of plants and flowers. Always remember that before choosing a landscape architect, get several estimates, photos or physically seeing his or her work, references and proof of licensing, professional certification and insurance. Remember that the more research you do, the more comfortable you will be with the architect.

From elevations of about 2,000 ft (610 m) on the Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, where Black Mt. (4,145 ft/1,263 m) marks the state's highest point, Kentucky slopes to elevations of less than 800 ft (244 m) along the western rim. The narrow valleys and sharp ridges of the mountain region are noted for forests of giant hardwoods and scented pine and for springtime blooms of laurel, magnolia, rhododendron, and dogwood. Unfortunately, these forests have suffered from the effects of acid rain. To the west, the plateau breaks in a series of escarpments, bordering a narrow plains region interrupted by many single conical peaks called knobs. Surrounded by the knobs region on the south, west, and east and extending as far west as Louisville is the bluegrass country, the heart and trademark of the state.
