The Benefits of Professional Landscape Design

Some may ask why would I need a landscape design plan? I could just have a landscaper come and install what I want. Creating an exceptional landscape requires having a plan so that the installers have a blueprint to work off of as well as a precise to scale plan on spacing, dimensions, and layout. Working on a full yard renovation without a plan would be equivalent to building a house without an architectural blueprint. The plan confirms and visually shows exactly what the customer has expressed interest in including hardscapes such as patios with exact dimensions and material type, plant placement scaled and spaced accurately for exact counts and accurate estimate numbers, as well as contour lines showing exactly where hills and drainage problems arise and how to solve them. Various creative thought goes into creating a professional landscape design blueprint. Landscape design is a career one must practice and study consistently to improve in over several years of training. It is not a task that can be learned overnight or googled with favorable results. This is a craft and skill and required to create beautiful, functional, durable outdoor spaces. One must truly be passionate about landscaping and the outdoors to excel in this field as well as technological use and skills. Benefits of a plan extend to being able to revise and change the entire plan with a quick revision as opposed to re doing everything once it has already been installed. Sun, wind, contours, soil conditions, drainage, and geography are all extensively taken into account to create a functional plan that will last forever. This is a field Green and Gold Landscape is extremely passionate about and we would love to educate and inspire others by answering any landscape design related questions!
