How to choose the right landscape gardener to implement your design

WORKING AS A TEAM

A landscape planting plan is only a starting point.  The actual artistry happens on the ground at the layout stage.  A good landscape gardener will be a trained professional, not just a labourer.  Accordingly, you must be prepared to pay the same rates as you pay other professionals such as expert builders or electricians.

A landscape gardener will have to work closely with other professionals such as the drainage contractors, earth movers, the lighting and irrigation people, so they must be a team player. All these elements work together at the very last stage of a project and none of them work in isolation.

A landscape gardener also will need to communicate closely with us as the designers, and you as a client, and keep you updated about plant availability, timing and any on-site changes.  They must understand that we have chosen individual plants for a reason and substitutions must go through the landscape design professionals for approval, or the design theme may be affected.
