Last year I wrote a blog post titled "What is it going to look like?"

The post was about the software Google Sketch-up, and how the program can

show clients what their design might look like before it is actually built.  Last week,

revisited the project depected in the sketch-up model to take some pictures of the

finished installation to see how close the project looks to the preliminary model.

Here is the model of the site, and below is a picture taken from approximately the same angle.

Here is another picture of the model

Here is an installed picture showing the backyard from the same side of the yard.

As you can see from the pictures, the modeling software is not a perfect science, but it does allow you

to give the client a glimpse.  The installation of a landscape project also changes with site conditions.

If you would like to see more completed project pictures from this project, please visit the residential gallery

on the site.
