scape architects and designers usually charge an hourly rate. Fees charged by nurseries can often be applied toward the cost of the installed plant materials.
If you are planning to do your own plantings and eqjoy hunting for plants, it may be wise to hire the professional to design a detailed plan that will tell you what kinds of plantings to look for. If you would rather havesomeone do it all from you — start to finish — try a nursery with a good design staff and reputation.
Before you select a designer you should have evaluated your outdoor needs:
• Think about how you want to use your property.
• Define your style.
• Take pictures of yards that you like and cut pictures out of magazines of yards that appeal to you.
• Walk through nurseries and look at plant materials.
• Notice how much sunlight you get in a day.
• Think about how much time you can spare to maintain your new landscaping.
A good designer will ask you many more questions, and the more you know about what you want, the better the total result for you.
After you have a plant that you like, what’s next? You will need to look at your budget and decide how much of your plan is financially reasonable. If you must make some cuts, decide which areas are the most important to you and begin with those.
