Thank you! I’ll check out Gardenweb. To PPs calling me cheap, that’s fine and I can see why you [b]landscape designers would be angry or defensive[/b]. 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, you are so annoying.  How do you expect someone to spend their time at your house, share their knowledge, educate you and not compensate them? And yet, you call landscape designers angry and defensive??
And no, i am not a landscape designer.  But you are the one who wants professional help, doesn't want to commit to their project/plan (so that they can be compensated) and don't want to pay for the consultation.  I just don't understand your logic. People need to be paid if you expect professional quality work/knowledge share.

Try some classes at HD or Lowe's, i am sure they have something for folks who like DYI. 
Buy books, take a class, you will still have to spend money AND time if you don't want to hire someone.
