I have been gardening and designing landscape ideas for years; I can tell you what types of plants would be good for which areas and I can offer advice on gardening, pest control with plant parasites like aphids, plant diseases, etc. I can design a lawn for you that would require less maintenance, less fertilizer, and less water with alternative grass species. If you are designing a landscape, I could offer you advice on which plants would be suitable for which purposes (ground cover, shade, aesthetic, etc.), or come up with a new design based on what sort of look you're trying to go for.
