A landscape designer can help you to plan out your yard and give you ideas for how to make the most of the space you have. Here are a few questions to get started: - What are your design goals? Do you want more privacy, or do you want a more lush and tropical look? - What is the size of your yard? - What kind of plants or trees do you like? - What is your budget? - When do you want the work done?

Some questions you may want to ask a landscape designer include: -What is your design process? -Can you provide me with a portfolio of previous work? -Do you have any references I can speak to? -What is included in your quoted price? (Some designers may charge by the hour, while others may charge a flat fee for their services.) -When can the project be started and completed? -What kind of plants will be used in the design? -Are there any specific maintenance requirements that I should be aware of? (For instance, some plants may need to be watered more often than others.)
