A landscape designer may or may not have a formal college education. What they lack in formalized training, however, they may make up for in spades of bona fide experience. Before you meet with a landscape designer, you should have a landscaping budget in mind. Make a list of desirable landscaping elements in your order of preference, so the landscape designer will have a better understanding of what you’re looking to spend and prioritize. Remember, a landscape designer possesses many skills, but being a mind reader is likely not one of them. To get the most from your landscape design, you’ll need to do a bit of research and convey what landscaping elements you like and dislike.
