The picturesque setting of a professionally designed landscape is not only beautiful, it's also quite functional. Every hedge, stone, and light is precisely placed to ensure maximum aesthetic effect without neglecting utility. Such effects are hard to achieve with DIY methods. Even if you know what you're doing, it takes a lot of work to achieve what an experienced professional landscape designer can produce.
Here are six reasons you should use a professional landscape designer:
Professional services
Professional landscape designers are professionals. They have the proper training and education for it, generally a degree in landscape design or landscape architecture. More importantly, they've had years of experience to fine-tune and perfect their craft.
They'll work with you to develop a custom solution that optimizes your property.
Efficient use of space
Professional landscaping design allows you to make the most of your outdoor living space by taking a wholistic view of your landscape. Rather than having disparate areas for cooking, playing, and growing, the designer can blend these together into a single cohesive design that efficiently uses your entire space.
Environmental preservation
Hiring a professional landscape designer can help you protect your investment by improving and preserving your yard. For instance, poor drainage and erosion can ruin your landscape and even undermine the foundation of your home. An experienced landscape designer can incorporate solutions to address drainage problems in ways that also beautify your property.
Efficient budgeting
A professional designer will work with you to create a design that is within your budget. Whether you have a plan in mind for your project, or don't know where to start, they will diagram out your dream garden and provide a detailed estimate of the cost. And they'll come up with creative ways to achieve the best results for what you want to spend.
Save energy and time
A well-done landscape will provide you with many years of beauty and enjoyment. However, it can take a lot of time and effort to complete. Bringing in a professional team can save you time and money in the long run. Hiring pros will not only get your job done faster and more efficiently, they'll also save your back. Reputable landscapers will also provide you with a limited warranty in case of problems down the road.
Increase in your home's value
Statistics show that a pleasing landscape can enhance your property's value by as much as 25%. On a $350,000 home, that "curb appeal" can amount to $75,000 extra in your pocket.
