Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why use a Landscape Architect rather than simply going to a contractor? A. If you . . .   • are willing to take a little extra time for a plan uniquely designed for your own needs and lifestyle,   • desire a Master Plan to guide your landscape development for many years,   • want a look which is your own, rather than one contractor's signature style,   • want to obtain competitive bids on a single plan, or do all or part of the work yourself, ... then you may want the services of a Landscape Architect.
