The Importance of a Good Landscape Designer

Greg Miller • December 2, 2022

In most residences, the first impression is the one made from the outside, not the interior. Rethinking outdoor spaces is important for creating the impression that lasts the longest. 

When thinking about starting a landscape project, the thought can often seem overwhelming. What to add and where, what style is best and what will add the best value to your home. Hiring a good landscape designer will help eliminate some of this stress, as they will come prepared with a ton of ideas for your project, due largely to their training, education, and experience.
Whether you are planning an extensive landscape remodel or a smaller project, such as planting a rock garden, doing a landscaping spring cleanup or redoing your front walk, landscape designers can assist you with part of your project or they can manage the entire process, from start to finish. A landscape designer can also give you guidance on how to maintain your yard once the project is done.

If you’re a busy person and want to budget your time and energy wisely, then you certainly need a professional landscaper to do the time-consuming tasks for you. Not only is it more practical to hire one, but landscapers can also efficiently complete projects without compromising the quality of your landscape.

Designing a landscape project requires specific skills and experiences that professionals may only have. It’s not only about growing plants or installing outdoor lights, but it’s about creating art that best fits your home. This art can increase your home value and curb appeal. If you want to achieve a beautiful landscape, don’t hesitate to hire a professional landscape designer, and let them execute the vision you have into reality.

By Greg Miller • November 1, 2022
Adding a pool to your home can not only add hours of entertainment for you and your family but can also increase the property value of your home. Depending on the type of pool you decide to build and how you style it, adding a pool can be a big level up to your value. When thinking of adding a pool to your home, there are two choices: above ground and inground. These two types of pools have quite a big difference between them. Even though an inground pool’s cost is higher and they often require more attention, they give you the most bang for your buck. While other factors are involved, it’s been said that above ground pools often deter buyers rather than bring in potential homebuyers.

Repeated data shows curb appeal, in the form of attractive landscaping, goes a long way. Sellers can gain anywhere from 5% to 12% more value to their home. So don’t skip out on this important way to add value to your home. (Source: bhg.com)
