What is your biggest problem in Garden Design?

I have some of friend and relatives asking for design their home garden. Honestly said since I do learn the subject and practices it, kind of common sense when you use to hang with the thing again and again. May I know what is the problem your're facing when you're try to do you own landscape/garden design :)

What is your biggest problem in Garden Design?
Scale is the biggest problem. Most people plant things like they will never get bigger. Consequently they plant them too close to the house or too close to other plants or they plant too many plants for a given area. If a person can imagine what the plants will look like in 10 years, that's the best way to design, unless you have been trained.
Reply:The main problem is envisaging the end result. Whilst this can be fuild, to a point, failing to see how things will turn up, means that the garden or landscape will never achieve it's true potential.
Reply:I challenge anyone to grow or propagate plants better than I do, but I have no ability to sit down at one time and landscape anything. So.....I just moved in about 4 months ago and it will take my 5 years to get it done which is fun, but I wish I had an eye for design. The weird part is: everyone asks me to decorate their homes...I am good at that...colors, furniture, etc....Mentally challenged I am when it comes to designing a space (except for container pots and I'm exceptionally good at that)????????????????
