You might drive around and make notes of things you LIKE.
You should make notes as to how the sun moves across your property. I the front of you home in the sun or the shade in the morning? I expect you know, but in case you do not, the sun is directly overhead at about 12:00 so everything will be in the sun. You might like a plant but if it doesn't like where you want to put it, it will never do well.
For me, I would look at jobs done a few years ago. How have they aged. Were the plants properly placed, after they have been there for a few years.
As you probably know, our soil is very poor-sandy clay, or clayie sand. You want to improve the soil before you plant.
MOST or perhaps all of the people BIDDING on these jobs plan and charge for a hole and shoving a greenhouse grown plant into it. The suggestion is 50 lbs of organic matter per 100 sq feet Obviously far easier to do before the plants, mulch etc are put in
