How to choose a Landscape Designer

A landscape designer can use their experience, training, and professional-grade equipment to help homeowners achieve the vision of the outdoor space and make that dream a reality. Selecting the right professional landscape designer in Kingsport to serve you and your needs is a big decision, and Promier Landscapes wants to help. Here are some suggestions to help you during the process of choosing a landscape designer.

Factor 1: What is your budget for your project?

You need to do an assessment of your finances and determine how many funds are available for whatever outdoor project you envision. Remember that, in landscaping, you often get what you pay for. Certain designs may require a significant financial investment to execute, but a beautiful and well-constructed landscape design can significantly boost your property value.

Factor 2: What needs to go and what will stay?

Take a good look at your current garden or outdoor landscape. Then, make a list of all the elements that you want to remove in order to complete your vision. This may include planters, actual plants or outdated equipment like an old grill or a hot tub that looks like it a relic from the 1980s. Next, list all the parts of your outdoor landscape that you like—such as that rosebush with sentimental value, or that do-it-yourself patio you installed a few years back.

Factor 3: What elements do you want to add? 

Take a few moments and picture your dream landscape in your mind’s eye. What do you imagine? Now, write it all down. If nothing else, this information will give a landscape designer insight to your general tastes and preferences.

Whatever landscape designer you choose should tailor their plans to the three factors listed above. Remember, your landscape designer is there to fill your wishes. Make sure he or she is willing to work with your climate, your design aesthetic, and of course your budget. Your designer should let you know if your budget and your goals are reasonable, and determine the best path to follow.
