Cost is higher, of course. I like their idea for the basketball court. What do you think?

> Hi Kathleen,

> Enclosed is Gary's quote. I told him to drop the option for cedar on the lower fence and the option for cedar decking (floor of deck) as cedar is expensive. We will help Gary with the layout and will be checking on his progress, he will be on site for a few weeks. We are creating a deck environment, so the deck relates to the garden.

> Scott and I really like the idea of placing the basketball court in the garden area to the right of the loggia (area where Brother jumps fence). This is really the perfect spot. We can transplant the shrubs, the hollies are dead and then you are not trekking down the hill to the court in no-man's land. We especially liked the concept as the stairs from the deck will feed into the bowling lawn and face the basketball court, making it a real part of your life. You'll be able to sit in the loggia and watch Maisy play!
>
> We thought of some different colors for the loggia, a softer sage green with hint of blue gray. Should we pick up a couple sample cans at Strosniders and leave them at your front stoop? I think the right color will make things pop. In putting the court next to the loggia you are cementing a connection between the deck, the loggia and the basketball court and it is also less costly to do it this way.

> Please remember that we want to help you place things, let us be your eyes. We are trained for this and the landscape contractors will stuff things in places without our eyes. It is best to do things once. You want the spaces to flow and be organic in nature. This is very doable with your budget. One must just find the right people. I think Jose will be very reasonable, so you should move quickly with him once he gets you his pricing.

> Question for Gary: Gary does your price include the privacy screen we talked about on the east side?
