Should I Hire a Professional Garden Designer?

At Outback Landscapes, we are often approached by customers who want to know whether they should hire a professional garden designer. We would always encourage people that care about their gardens to hire professionals for renovation work. It is rare that someone has the time and focus that a professional garden landscaper does, and as a result work completed without help is often substandard. Today we are looking out the garden design industry and asking whether enlisting the help of a professional garden designer is a worthwhile investment. 

If you are in the industry or enthusiastic about garden design, you may be familiar with the term garden designer. Perhaps you don’t travel in these circles though. In this instance, you may be totally unaware of the role and what it entails. If you fall into the latter category, a garden designer will assess the landscape as a whole and search for opportunities in the form and function of the space. They will incorporate hard landscaping (paths and walls) as well as soft landscaping (flower beds, shrubs) in their work. 

 

People often hire a professional garden designer to create a vision for their garden when they themselves lack the time. In addition to landscape gardeners, an outdoor designer will work to transform your space in accordance with your requirements and budget. 

By some homeowners, gardens are overlooked. But gardens are hugely important. Not only do they add aesthetic value to a property and offer homeowners a sanctuary to relax and unwind, but they add significant value to a property. Some estimates state that having a landscaped garden can increase property value by up to 77%. 

 

With that in mind, hiring a professional garden landscaper is a no brainer. They can effectively transform a lacklustre landscape into a beautiful space that you can be proud to share. And, in some cases, it can be the difference between receiving a large sum for your property and struggling to sell. 

We hope you enjoyed the article, and you see the value in hiring a professional to prepare design proposals for your garden renovations. A professional has the experience, time and focus to actualise your goals. Without their help, it is often hard to materialise the ambitions you have in your head for your garden.
