Why should I engage a Landscape Designer??
In the big picture, a house should look like it is planted in the landscape, really think of all the houses you’ve seen and drooled over from just a photo of the outside, what makes it so attractive? The landscaping compliments the house from the front gate to the back fence.
We spend a significant amount of our time inside our homes looking out of our windows so it is important a landscape design is aesthetic as well as functional for when we are outside. A well designed, installed & maintained garden adds to the overall value of your property so it is wise to have a realistic budget in place for the installation of your landscape design.
There is also no monetary value for benefits to your mental health a well designed green space gives.
