How do landscape designers work?
At GREEN ACRES we offer services on a design/build and design-only bases. When considering a prospective landscape designer either from our organization or another, review actual plans and photos of completed projects to understand the process and the designer’s work. Ask for references from past clients and visit some of the designer’s projects to see completed work firsthand. You purchase a landscape designer’s consultation time and, if you choose, your project’s design plan. The plan details types and quantities of recommended plants; it defines and describes “hardscape” construction areas: retaining walls, terraces, patios, pathways and some accessories, like fireplaces or outdoor furniture. We offer directions for plant care and yard maintenance as well. The landscape designer integrates all facets of the green industry while creating a landscape and may collaborate with other professionals.
