Why Hire a Landscape Designer...

We have all been there – usually as the weather begins to change we begin to evaluate our yards.  In the fall it is watching our flowerbeds turn brown and ugly, and in the spring those same flowerbeds are empty just waiting for color and life. 

Then you turn to you empty backyard and wish those 4 trees you chose 3 years ago added more life to the yard.  You had done your research on the Internet, you found what trees and shrubs were best for your yard, you spoke with the nursery employees, and you dug the right size holes – but there is no pizazz in the yard, it looks empty, and everything only blooms during one season.  What could you have done differently?  Well, there is one major change you could have done – HIRE A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER…

2.     Budget – Landscape Designers can work within your budget, maximizing it by using the right materials the first time.
3.     Installation – A Landscape Designer works with a team of installers, so you don’t have to know which plant needs shade, which plants need morning sun, or how far apart to plant your materials.
4.     Time – Again, these are professionals, so they are quick, and efficient, and many times can finish an installation in a day – where it may have taken you a month of weekends.
5.     Environment – Yes, green leaves are good for the environment – but this is more about the climate and the soil (which can change from neighborhood to neighborhood), so a Landscape Designer can analyze all the components and make the strongest recommendations for your individual space.
6.     Experience – A Landscape Designer uses the information they learn from each job, and apply it to the next, making them an expert.  You most likely don’t try to work on your own car engine – you leave it to an expert – why should your outdoor space be any different.
7.     Education – A Landscape Designer is usually holds a degree in Horticulture and/or Design – placing the designer as the expert, focusing on what is best for your yard.
8.     Full Design Plan – The Designer will create an entire new living space for your home, enhancing existing materials, and adding what will add the most beauty.
9.     One on One Service – Each yard is different, so will your design will be unique to your yard.  A designer will go the extra step for you – teaching you how to care for your new space, recommendations for changes of seasons, or whatever you ask.
