Your landscaping can have a major impact on the functionality and curb appeal of your home. However, it can be difficult to decide exactly what you want your outdoor areas to look like, or which plants would be best suited to the climate of your area. A professional landscape designer can assist you in revitalizing your yard—but be sure to ask a few questions before you jump in.

The landscaping process can be complex, even for a small home or garden. Know what to expect by asking your landscape designer to walk you through each step of the process, including the design stage, the installation phase, and the final touches. You may also want to know how long the overall process will take and how to care for the plants you have chosen. Consistent communication will ensure that you don’t run into any unpleasant surprises and get exactly the results you want. 

Run the Numbers

With so many moving parts, it’s no surprise that a landscaping project can come with a variety of fees. Before beginning your outdoor renovation, be sure that your landscape designer has confirmed the overall cost of your project. Many companies tend to charge per assignment, not per hour, so this information should be readily available. Looking for a more budget-friendly option? Many landscape designers may provide hourly consultation services, allowing you to get an expert’s opinion without committing to a huge project.

Tucson has its own unique climate and seasonal changes. Ideally, your landscape designer should be familiar with your local weather conditions and be able to recommend the best plants and design schemes accordingly. Ask if they have completed any local projects and see if they can provide any references.
