What Are the Duties of a Landscape Designer?

You’ve probably marveled when going out to eat at a restaurant and sitting on their gorgeous outdoor patio. You may have heard your friends talk about hiring a landscaping professional to transform their property. But what do these experts actually come in to do? What are the duties of a landscape designer? When you call Greenstone Gardens to have one of our specialists work with you, here’s what you can expect.

Planning

One of the most important aspects of work for our landscape designers is planning. Our experts have the knowledge and skills to make your vision bloom for your property, whether residential or commercial. They will meet with you and really dig to unearth your desires for your property. They then take your dream and forge a plan, using their expertise to envision a spot of natural joy and beauty and the best course of action to get there.

Research and Communication

Our technicians also consider aspects like soil quality, sunlight, and other environmental factors to ensure the best outcome for your landscaping. They will look at drainage, lighting, and anything else that would affect the finished product. Throughout the whole process, we pride ourselves on clear and swift communication, both to keep you updated and to make sure your vision is fully realized. For us, the duties of a landscape designer include quick communication on any updates to the budget, timelines, and completion projections.

The Dirty Work

Once the landscape designer has your vision in place, it’s time to get our hands dirty! Our approach at Greenstone Gardens includes trimming, mulching, seasonal cleaning (leaf raking, mowing, etc.), pruning, and planting flowers, shrubs, or trees! Your greenery will make your friends green with envy as we complete your yard’s metamorphosis into a jewel of form and function. And once we bring your vision to fruition, we will return to make sure that your new natural splendor always feels like new, performing necessary maintenance as needed.
