How to Get the Most Out of the Landscape Design Process?

Spring is here!  That time of year when residential and commercial properties begin to come alive with blooms and thoughts turn to landscaping, maintenance, and creating a space you enjoy.  Before you start planning or planting, there are a few steps to consider and hiring a Landscape Contractor with Design experience is a good start.

1. Do you have the time?

In today’s climate of busy lives, a Landscape Contractor can ease the pain of having to do the work yourself, missing out on family time, simply relaxing in your yard, or creating curb appeal for your commercial space.  A Landscape Contractor can also provide a simple estimate to help you decide how to proceed.

1. Take an Inventory of your Property and Consider How it is Used

Make a list of things you like or don’t like about your property – is it overgrown, too busy, too much work for you, or just right, but needs a bit of help.  Who uses the yard?  Do you have children, grandchildren, or pets that you need to consider?  Do you like to entertain?  Do you want different areas to enjoy or themes of seasonal interest with different colors, shapes, sizes, and textures? Does your landscape create the feeling of wanting to hang out or run to the nearest park?  Landscape Contractors can help you figure out how to work with what you have, what you would realistically like to do, help you set a realistic budget, and work with your short- and long-term goals.

3. Landscape Design     

Some folks enjoy working in their yard, they know what they want, and how to do it.  Others just don’t have the time nor the desire but want a yard that is low- to no- maintenance and enjoyable to look at year-round.  Meeting with a Landscape Designer can both ease your anxiety about yard work and help design a space that works to communicate your style.
