DECISION POINTS
Primary Design Process Decision Tree
CLIENT REQUEST → First Assessment
├── Has photos + measurements + specific needs?
│ ├── YES → Proceed to analysis phase
│ └── NO → STOP. Get documentation first (see Quality Gates)
│
├── ANALYSIS PHASE: What's the primary constraint?
│ ├── PRIVACY (most common)
│ │ ├── Need screening within 2 years?
│ │ │ ├── YES → Fast-growth options + fence hybrid
│ │ │ └── NO → Quality long-term species
│ │ └── Deer pressure high?
│ │ ├── YES → Avoid arborvitae, use resistant species
│ │ └── NO → Full plant palette available
│ │
│ ├── SHADE/SUN Issues
│ │ ├── Less than 3 hours sun?
│ │ │ ├── YES → Shade-tolerant palette only
│ │ │ └── NO → Assess partial vs full sun zones
│ │ └── More than 8 hours intense sun?
│ │ ├── YES → Drought-tolerant, heat-resistant
│ │ └── NO → Standard sun/part-shade options
│ │
│ └── BUDGET Constraints
│ ├── Under $2000 total?
│ │ ├── YES → Phased approach, start with structure
│ │ └── NO → Can do comprehensive design
│ └── DIY vs Professional install?
│ ├── DIY → Simplify design, standard plants
│ └── PRO → More complex features possible
Soil/Drainage Decision Tree
DRAINAGE ASSESSMENT (critical but often skipped)
├── Does water pool after rain?
│ ├── YES → Poor drainage confirmed
│ │ ├── Clay soil + pooling → Install bioswale or French drain
│ │ ├── Just clay → Amend beds with compost + sand
│ │ └── Compacted → Core aeration + organic matter
│ │
│ └── NO → Test infiltration rate
│ ├── Dig 12" hole, fill with water, time drainage
│ ├── Drains in <2 hours → Good drainage, standard plants
│ ├── 2-6 hours → Moderate, some wet-soil adaptations
│ └── >6 hours → Poor drainage, see above solutions
│
├── PLANT SELECTION SHIFTS based on drainage:
│ ├── Poor drainage → River birch, bald cypress, inkberry holly
│ ├── Good drainage → Standard palette
│ └── Excellent drainage → Drought-tolerant, Mediterranean plants
Privacy Timeline Decision Matrix
URGENCY vs QUALITY Trade-off
├── IMMEDIATE (fence + plants)
│ ├── 6' fence now, plants to soften/replace over time
│ ├── Cost: $25-50/linear foot fencing + $200-400 plants
│ └── Result: Privacy now, beauty in 3-5 years
│
├── FAST (2-3 years acceptable)
│ ├── 6-8' specimens of proven species
│ ├── Cost: $150-300 per plant, closer spacing
│ └── Result: Screening in 2-3 years, mature in 5-7
│
└── PATIENT (5+ years acceptable)
├── 3-5' healthy nursery stock, proper spacing
├── Cost: $50-100 per plant, wider spacing
└── Result: Better long-term health, lower cost
FAILURE MODES
"Arborvitae Tunnel Vision" Anti-Pattern
DETECTION RULE: Client says "I want arborvitae for privacy" as first plant mentioned
SYMPTOMS: Fixated on single species, ignores site conditions, dismisses alternatives
DIAGNOSIS: Falling for nursery marketing without understanding trade-offs
FIX:
Show arborvitae failure photos (deer damage, bagworm, snow break)
Present 3 alternatives with pros/cons comparison
If they insist: specify deer protection and maintenance requirements
"Mature Size Blindness" Anti-Pattern
DETECTION RULE: Spacing plants based on nursery size, not mature spread
SYMPTOMS: Plants too close to house/fence/each other, "room for one more" thinking
DIAGNOSIS: Not visualizing 10-20 year growth
FIX:
Draw mature footprints on site plan
Show before/after photos of overcrowded plantings
Calculate cost of future removal/replacement
"Foundation Suffocation" Anti-Pattern
DETECTION RULE: Any plant within 3 feet of house foundation
SYMPTOMS: Shrubs touching walls, blocking windows, pest entry points
DIAGNOSIS: Traditional "foundation planting" mentality without modern understanding
FIX:
Move plantings to mature width + 2 feet from structure
Use low shrubs under windows, taller plants at corners
Show moisture/pest damage examples
"Big Box Bargain Hunter" Anti-Pattern
DETECTION RULE: Planning around clearance/sale plants without species research
SYMPTOMS: "I got 20 arborvitae for $300!" without knowing mature needs
DIAGNOSIS: Price-first instead of site-appropriate selection
FIX:
Calculate replacement costs in 5-10 years
Show photos of failed cheap plantings
Redirect to local nursery with site-appropriate alternatives
"Maintenance Amnesia" Anti-Pattern
DETECTION RULE: Client wants "low maintenance" but selects high-maintenance plants
SYMPTOMS: Roses + boxwood + pristine lawn + perfect edges desired with "no work"
DIAGNOSIS: Instagram expectations without reality check
FIX:
Define actual maintenance hours available per week
Show maintenance-appropriate plant palettes
Phase in higher-maintenance areas over time
WORKED EXAMPLES
Example 1: Suburban Deer Problem Privacy Screen
SCENARIO: Colonial home, 40' back fence needs screening, heavy deer pressure, $3000 budget, 5-year timeline acceptable
DECISION PROCESS:
Initial Assessment: Photos show deer trails, damaged hostas, neighbors' arborvitae eaten to sticks
Drainage Test: Good drainage, full sun location
Species Selection: AVOID arborvitae (deer candy), consider alternatives
Final Choice: Mix of Nellie Stevens Holly (deer resistant) + native Eastern Red Cedar
Phasing: Install fall Year 1, assess gaps Year 3, infill if needed
NOVICE WOULD MISS: Would pick arborvitae based on "fast growing" label, ignore deer evidence
EXPERT CATCHES: Deer scat near fence = avoid deer-favorite plants, mix species for resilience
OUTCOME: Initial slower growth but no deer damage, full screening by Year 5, 20+ year lifespan
Layout: Asymmetric groupings, clear sight lines to patio
NOVICE WOULD MISS: Would try sun plants in shade, create busy mixed borders
EXPERT CATCHES: Embrace shade as design opportunity, use foliage contrast instead of flowers
