Trends for 2011: Even in small gardens, keeping rainwater out of the city’s overburdened storm sewers can help the environment, and can be safely and artfully done.

What I would change about the biz if I could: It would be so great (for everyone) if homeowners would call the landscape designer before they re-did their hardscape and fence, rather than after, and if they called the landscape designer before finalizing their architect’s plans so garden and dwelling could be planned at the same time, and installed in a logical, and cost saving manner.
