5 Reasons to Hire a Landscape Designer

Landscape designers are not just for the rich and famous. There are many benefits to hiring a landscape designer to help you plan the layout of your yard. While you may have a vision for what you would like your yard to look like, it is not always easy to make a reality. Here are five excellent reasons why hiring a landscape designer can be a worthy investment.

1. Focal points. A landscape designer can help you create focal points that pull your landscaping efforts together. Without focal points, a landscape design can seem scattered and less appealing.
2. Plant knowledge. Knowing what plants work best and where is important for success in landscape design. A landscape designer will know which plants will work best for your soil, region and sun/shade options.
3. Maintenance needs. You may love shaped hedges or colorful roses but are you up for the maintenance these plants require? Your landscape designer can help you create a yard that is within your comfort level for maintenance.
4. Incorporating hardscapes. Landscape design is not just about plants. Adding retaining walls, ponds, waterfalls, patios and other hardscapes are all part of the design plan to create your own oasis in your backyard.
5. Curb appeal. Your landscaping is important to your home’s value and curb appeal. It is worth the investment to create a design that enhances the beauty of your home.

Considering the cost and time that goes into landscaping your yard, it is worth considering having a professional assist you with the design. Even if you plan to do the landscaping yourself, having a designer can help you avoid issues that could cost you more in the long run.
