It takes an awfully long time to remodel and replant a garden. Slow and steady is much better from a results point of view. And well done for the design ideas. Nothing wrong with bringing in the professionals (I wouldn't have know how either!) but to have the vision to be able to "see" how you want it to look is a knack not everyone has, and that includes me. Good luck with it and watch out for those knees
With a big, empty garden we do have the luxury of being able to look at what's in flower, or soon coming into flower, and buying some of them if we like the look. We still have plenty of room for planting throughout the year.
With a smaller garden there's the risk that you see lots at the same time, buy and then have no interest for the rest of the year.
