A - Check if they are visible on some of the most popular social media platforms like Linked In, Facebook, Instagram? Do they have a website? Visibility is credibility. B –find out how far from your area do they live. Avoid spending a big chunk of your budget on travel expenses for your designer and their team of landscapers– make sure you search locally. C – What is the range of services your designer can offer you? Ideally you want to find someone that will not only create a stunning design but can also offer a detailed planting plan and will have a team of landscapers and professionals on hand to complete the project. IMPORTANT– don’t fall in to “all-or-nothing” trap - you should be able to pick and choose what services to use. D–Do you really need a designer? Many landscapers now offer a basic design service, so if you're looking for some advice and basic layout ideas, you might get away by just using a landscaping company. But please be aware they are not likely to offer a detailed 3D or hand-drawn models as creating these are too time consuming and not cost effective for their business model.
