A place to gather
Think about the space around a table or seating area, routes to the house and the balance between planting and hard surfaces. Bring those uses into the project conversation.
A clear connection
Paths and steps shape the way a property is used. Discuss level changes, existing surfaces and how access needs affect the proposal.
A finish in context
Ask how a finish looks in the setting, what samples can show and what maintenance it involves. Suitability and construction details need a site-specific discussion.
