You want to spruce up your backyard and think you need a landscape designer involved but you’re not quite sure. We get it.

Anything that’s new can seem a little daunting. Stepping into a gym for the first time or going for a job interview. Starting a new course at uni or going on a date.

When you decide to renovate your backyard, you’re deciding to make the most of your outdoor space – to extend your homelife beyond the four walls. It’s a massive undertaking, no doubt. And like any big change it’s important to get the right people on your side.

We get a lot of calls from people just like you wanting to makeover their backyards.

If you’re looking out at your backyard and are thinking it could be so much more, this blog is for you. Here are 3 good reasons we know you need a landscape designer on board if you want to create that perfect outdoor space.

Knowledge

Gaining clarity on the process before diving into a landscaping project is key. A landscape designer has got the knowledge and experience to help you get your head around all the details you want to be across to make sure your project gets off to the right start. Understanding the steps you need to work through to get you from A to B can help you make informed decisions, can save you time, and can definitely save you money.

Approval

If you need to submit a CDC or DA for your project, you’re going to need a landscape plan. A landscape designer will be able to guide and support you through formal application procedures to ensure a positive and efficient outcome. There are always snags with any project, but the important thing is that you have experts on your side to ensure success. A landscape designer makes the process of creating your perfect outdoor space as smooth sailing as possible.
