  Site-specific knowledge – Your local professional landscape designer has the expertise to see your lawn and garden as its own ecosystem and will make recommendations on things such as soil, plant selections, conservation tactics, etc., in order to promote a flourishing, native growing environment. What is one way to find the right native plants? Gardeningknowhow.com says, “…become familiar with the types of native garden plants that may already be growing on your property. This not only gives you an idea of the types of plants that thrive in your particular location but also makes it easier as you begin gardening with native plants…”

• Portfolio — The experienced and professional landscape designer will have an extensive landscape portfolio of prior completed work and glowing testimonials for you to review when considering engaging their services.

• Budget savvy – Dreaming costs nothing, but translating that dream into reality requires money. Your local landscape design professional is acquainted with real costs, and his expertise will be an invaluable asset in determining and sticking to a realistic landscape renovation budget.

• Oversight During Installation – Bringing a design into existence requires imagination and hard work. Engaging a trusted landscaper means that there is someone on board to see both design and installation to the finish.

• Maintenance — The professional landscape designer will offer a full range of landscape maintenance services to ensure the lasting beauty and permanence of your landscaped property over time.
