With so many choices and options available on the market, a designer will help guide you through the process of narrowing down the options.
3D Design Rendering
Many people refer to themselves as a "visual person" and say they need to see what their project would look like. Good thing we have a way to do that with some great design software and technology. Being able to virtually walk through your project before it begins will give you a chance to experience what it will feel like once the project is complete.
Wants, Needs, Budget
With unlimited resources you could turn your backyard into a full on amusement park. Can you see where the rollercoaster will go, just between the Azalea and the Dogwood? For those of us that need to plan a project with a budget in mind, we need to plan. When brainstorming, researching and starting a project it’s very easy for your dream patio to become out of reach. If you’re not careful, project costs can add up very quickly. One of the many benefits of working with a landscape designer is that they will reel you in and help you find the perfect solution that is not only budget friendly but meets as many of your desires as possible. The key thing a landscape designer should seek is value. You should get the most bang for your buck in your project. It usually make sense to turn your backyard into a construction zone just one time, but it could make sense to plan on completing the project in phases.
