[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could take pictures and go to Merrifield Garden Center and they will talk with you. It could be a starting point.

You can also post pics online at the Gardenweb or similar, and people offer helpful suggestions.

Both are free! Good luck. [/quote]

Thank you! I’ll check out Gardenweb. To PPs calling me cheap, that’s fine and I can see why you landscape designers would be angry or defensive. But I’m just not ready to commit to a full overhaul just yet. We did do some work inside the house and perhaps that process was what made me more apprehensive about the outdoor stuff. I wish we had waited on some interior changes so we could see how the house worked for us first. And we paid $500 for a bathroom reno design we hated and didn’t end up using. Both are the kinds of mistakes I don’t want to make with the landscaping, so I want to take my time, see what plants come up in the next few months, and talk to lots of people and think everything over before committing to full design work with drawings, etc. I’m happy to pay professionals for their work, and I do, but I’m not ready to green light the landscaping yet.

OP
sounds like you want someone to "hold you hand" a little bit and talk you through some of stages,  what stuff can be done now, what can wait, what needs to be done by pros, and what can be done by you...
I'm willing to help you out,  no hard sell as I don't work for a commercial entity anymore.  but I have resources and know the people to point you towards if it come to that.

If you want to chat  let me know. alot can be done just looking at pictures street views, google earth, ect and give you some of my opinions.. but willing to do a site visit in you are local to NOVA
