Hello everyone.

I’m planning to redesign my backyard and possibly the front garden, but I’m overwhelmed by the number of landscape designers out there. I want someone who can balance aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality.

What should I be looking for when hiring a landscape designer? Are portfolios and past projects the best indicators, or should I focus more on qualifications and certifications? Also, how do you ensure the designer’s vision aligns with your style and budget?

Any tips, red flags, or questions to ask during the initial consultation would be greatly appreciated.

drive around your neighborhood for a while one day off and find properties that have landscaping you like. Ask the owners who designed them.
