Why Hire a Professional?
Why hire a professional?
A big advantage of hiring landscape architects is that they‘re trained to think about landscapes as systems.
Landscape architects will increase the value of your home. Hiring a landscape architect is one of the best investments for your home, adding as much as 15 percent to its value over comparable houses. This will add value and extend your living space while allowing you to enjoy all that nature has to offer.
They will assess your property‘s problem areas and possibilities and create a solid plan that addresses both the big picture and exact details of how your landscape will look. What a homeowner may consider a long weekend project might actually take weeks. Your landscape architect will remain involved with the construction and follow through.
Landscape architects design low-maintenance gardens featuring beautiful native plants. They know where to place trees to lower energy bills by reducing heating and cooling costs. They can devise the perfect drip irrigation system to avoid costly mistakes such as extra dollars on a monthly water bill or killing all of your new plants it was meant to be helping.
