— FAQ
Questions about hiring a landscape designer online
What people ask before hiring a landscape designer for the first time.
Can the designer work without seeing the lot?
Yes, from photos, measurements, sun exposure and your description. When a visit helps, you set it up directly with the designer.
Does the project include installing the garden?
The project delivers the drawing, the plant list and the instructions. Installation is done by you or a landscaper, with the designer following up if you want.
How much does a landscape design cost?
Posting your project is free. Every pro sends their own proposal with a price and a timeline. You pay per phase, as you sign off on each deliverable.
Does it work for a patio or a small yard?
Yes. Describe the space and the light it gets. Plenty of landscape designers work with small areas and containers.
Will the plants survive my climate?
Plant selection starts from your climate zone and the light in the space. That's part of the brief and the proposal.
