What are the benefits of hiring a landscape designer? Why should you hire a landscape designer?
There are at least three situations where you should hire a landscape designer:
- The most obvious reason, you don’t know about garden design. A good landscape designer can help you get the results that best meet your needs.
- You know about gardening but have a limited knowledge of plants or design. There’s a world of plants out there that you are not familiar with. A landscape designer can introduce you to those plants and show you how to make the best use of them in your landscape.
- You don’t know about gardening but you do have an idea of what you want. If you call me and say, “I want a patio” there are some questions I’ll ask you are, “What is the patio for? Do you want a quiet place to relax? A stimulating place to entertain? A place where young children can play? Are you looking to combine different design needs?” A landscape designer can hone your ideas into a beautiful landscape.
Make sure your landscape designer puts your needs first. Your landscape design is about meeting your needs. If you suspect a landscape designer isn’t looking out for your best interests trust your gut.
When I design a landscape I act as a filter translating my clients needs into a finished landscape design.
