If you’re looking for a sign to work with a landscape firm and have a trained expert design your garden, here’s yours. Designing landscapes might be more complex than you’d expect — with careful consideration going into all aspects from garden bed layouts to irrigation and drainage concerns. Sure, popping a few plants and shrubs into the ground could spruce up your outdoor space, but landscape design is so much more than that — and here’s why working with a landscape designer is the best route to go.
Landscape Design Has Many Layers
From idea generation to site analysis to construction planning and installation, the moving parts of landscape projects will all be handled by a company. Take the first on the list: ideas. Landscape architects bring suggestions and create a concept for your garden. More than just plant placement, they consider the many functions of a garden and design the layout to your specific needs. After a site analysis and construction planning, they confirm the design can be executed as planned — and sustainable.
Creating a Landscape Budget
It can be hard to put a number on landscaping services, not to mention any construction aspects that the plan entails, like pools or other hardscapes. Working with a landscape architect will put things like cost and timeline into perspective and help guide you to determine an appropriate project scope. Everything you’d like not going to fall in line with your budget? Landscape designers can refine their plans to work in your budget and still achieve the look and feel you’re aiming for.
