I like to see New things. If can be any style as long as it is not a direct copy of what everybody else is doing or has done.

I know that is hard to do, but the scapes to me that are GREAT are the ones that stand out of the bunch for any and all reasons.

I chose Dutch simply because you don't see them very often and because I appreciate the discipline that goes into them. All styles require, discipline, yes, but I love the garden look

I like a tank with good negative space. Many of the dutch layouts the negative space is shaped the same from tank to tank and I find that boring. It is first about the big picture: does it look like a mountain, hill, valley, forest undergrowth, coastline... Then do the details of plants and hardscape support that overall shape impression.
