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.

Nicknamed the “Mountain State,” West Virginia is very hilly and rugged, with the highest mean altitude (1,500 ft/457 m) of any state E of the Mississippi. Nearly all of the state is on the Allegheny Plateau, with the jagged Virginia–West Virginia line roughly following the eastern escarpment of the plateau (known as the Allegheny Front). Extremely irregular in outline, West Virginia has two narrow projections—the Northern Panhandle, which cuts north between Ohio and Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Panhandle, which cuts east between Maryland (with the Potomac River forming the state line) and Virginia. In the Eastern Panhandle, a part of the Appalachian ridge and valley country, lie the state's lowest point (240 ft/73 m) near Harpers Ferry where the Shenandoah River joins the Potomac, as well as its highest point, Spruce Knob (4,860 ft/1,481 m).
