Landscaping greatly impacts home value. A professional plan sites plants correctly, so they won't become threats or obstructions to the home. Work with someone who knows how plants develop and your dreams won't become nightmares. Peace of mind. Hiring a design pro before ripping up your lawn will save you headaches, not to mention dollars.
Professional design is a value-added service.
Mass marketed plants can be non-hardy for your area. Also, the unsuspecting consumer may not be aware of varieties susceptible to pest infestations. A professional helps you avoid expensive mistakes. Remember, because mass marketers stress volume rather than specialization, you may not see new varieties for years. In contrast, landscape designers can provide you with a whole spectrum of plant material.
