WHY HIRE A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER? 

Some ask why they should invest in design? Can't the contractor just build it? Not really. Distinctive spaces don't just happen; they need careful thought and planning — they need to be designed by highly trained professionals.

AVOID THE "LANDSCAPE SALAD" LOOK.

Good design considers many complex factors such as views, color, texture, biological factors, topography and drainage. Are you perplexed about why your yard looks unresolved? A landscape designer knows exactly why!  It is invaluable to have a well designed plan.

YOU CAN PHASE YOUR PROJECT OVER TIME.

The master plan gives an overall vision for the individual elements of the design. What is your next outdoor project?  Well, check out the master plan of your property!

IMPRESS.

Have you ever wanted your property to look like the pictures in Better Homes and Gardens? Get a pro involved and you can get there!

HOME EQUITY.

Realtors call landscape “Green Gold”.  Investment in a well thought out landscape will add significant value to your home.  Impress potential buyers with a beautiful professionally designed outdoor space. People can tell that you hired a pro!

DIY. 

The landscape plan will help you become more confident in what plants and other materials to buy. You could also hire a contractor for some of the work and finish it yourself.  So unroll the plan, roll up your sleeves and get to work!

AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES.

Improper placement or selection of plants and hardscape materials will cost you money in the long run. A landscape designer is trained to give you the most bang for your buck!

YOU'RE IN CONTROL.

Without a well thought out plan, contractors can make field decisions that may negatively impact the final result. A well crafted plan will orient everyone involved to the final vision of the space. The end result is a harmonious landscape that you can enjoy. You can even have the designer on site to help direct the realization of the design.

ABILITY TO BID YOUR PLAN.

With a plan in hand you can confidently implement your design according to your time schedule and budget. You will be in control of construction costs and material choices. When contractors compete, you save money.

A professional designer will save you money, time, and energy.
