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.

New Jersey is surrounded by water except along the 50 mi (80 km) of northern border with New York state. The northern third of the state lies within the Appalachian Highland region, where ridges running northeast and southwest shelter valleys containing pleasant streams and glacial lakes. Beyond the crest of wooded slopes are long-established farms given over to dairying and field crops. The Kittatinny Mts., with the state's highest elevations (up to 1,803 ft/550 m), stretch across the northwest corner of New Jersey from the New York border to the Delaware Water Gap. In 1961 New Jersey, along with three other states and the federal government, signed the Delaware River Basin Compact, providing for the control of water resources and rights throughout the Delaware River basin.
