Questions to Ask Your Landscape Designer

When meeting with your landscape designer, it's important to ask questions that clarify their design approach and experience, such as: How do you incorporate sustainability and local plant varieties into your designs? Can you provide examples of past projects similar to my vision? What is the estimated timeline and budget range for a project of this scope? How do you handle permits and local regulations? Will there be ongoing maintenance services or guidance after installation? Understanding their process for collaboration and communication, as well as how they address unexpected challenges, will help ensure a smooth project and a final outdoor space that meets your needs.
