Just as the architect or builder studies and deter- 
mines with you the best relationship of the indoor 
rooms and services, so the properly qualified land- 
scape gardener should determine the relationship of 
the outdoor living areas, the lawns, driveways, serv- 
ice areas, vistas and gardens. 
The landscape gardener should work from the 
start, in close co-operation with architect and owner, 
in determining location, grades, and in every way to 
bring the house and the grounds around it into a 
unified, useful and pleasing relationship, — to pro- 
vide the maximum of usefulness combined with the 
maximum of attractiveness, at reasonable cost and 
involving minimum expense to maintain. 
Failure to use such trained landscape services in 
full co-ordination with architect and owner, both in 
the preliminary stages and as construction pro- 
gresses, has proved in numberless cases within our 
own experience to be the cause of excessive and dis- 
couraging waste of money, effort and time. This is 
true with every new home built, and is especially 
important in a small home where budgets are strictly 
limited and the imperative need is to get the greatest 
value from the available investment.
