 Sometimes it's hard to decide who will be the right person to design your new landscape. Easycare has some tips to help your decision making.
The difference between landscapers and designers
Landscapers tend to have expertise in "hardworks". That is the building and construction of the parts that make up your garden.
Generally their interest in and knowledge of plants and planting and understanding the relationship between design and your lifestyle is limited.
What do designers do?
A good designer will advise you and your landscaper on the right colours, pavers, plant types, soil preparation, plant positioning and how the design elements will work together. They will prepare detailed instructions on how to go about preparing the foundations and building the landscape.
You can use this to seek quotes from professional landscapers on the same project scope. The vision and the instructions should be clear enough so that if you have the skill and the desire, you could choose to construct your landscape yourself.
A good place to start would be to check whether the designer is a member of a reputable industry organisation such as AILDM or AILA and adheres to industry standards of quality, insurance and qualification.
