A certified landscape architect would mean that they have undergone proper trainings and are able to integrate landscape designs with the combination of softscape and hardscape. Landscape designer often has horticulture background or nursery experience which enables them to design a landscape especially for a new home or to renovate an existing area of the home or yard.

They will provide a blueprint for your yard, indicating the optimal placement that is suitable for each of the plant and the feature. Designers are also trained and qualified in the principles of garden design and able to assist their clients to avoid mistakes that could cost them more like planting the wrong type of plants in the wrong places.

Why do we need the landscape designer? This is because when you hire a landscape designer, you’re not just buying a design alone. You’re also getting all the important knowledge, education, and valuable experience that the designer has accrued over the years of their life-spanning career. Besides, they have more knowledge about the plants but also how to solve the problem in the landscape and overall how to arrange the elements in your landscape in cohesive and attractive way.
