Definite Advantages For Home Owners By Employing Landscape Design Experts

By Mark Brooks


Listen to a typical conversation among some new homeowners, or land owners with plans to build, and mention the subject landscape design. Chances are you will here comments like, yes, that would be nice but it is just so expensive, or being on a really tight budget and that means no non-essential services like landscaping.

Yet sometimes this is not necessarily the case. Customer feedback from those who have made use of a landscaper, report that in the long term they had indeed saved money. Puzzled, new home owners will no doubt be wondering what causes this and how could they achieve this.

Property and housing is for the majority of people the most substantial purchase to be made in the average life. It would be natural not to be concerned about the security of this investment and the likelihood that it should increase in value. The appreciation in price of homes that have been designed by and created under supervision of a qualified landscaper is known to be enhanced.

However, value is only one aspect of an investment, marketability is equally important and properties on well landscaped surrounds will be more appealing to and attract more potential buyers. Consequently such properties will be on the markets for shorter periods.

If properties are still in the design stage then it is very advantageous to combine the services of the landscaper with that of the architect. In this way the optimal utilization of buildings in relation to the available land will be achieved with input from two sets of professionals.

Water management in respect of drainage, storm water runoff and erosion are important points to consider. At the other end of the extreme, in arid and drought affected areas, their expertise will be directed towards water storage, minimizing consumption, reducing evaporation and soil degradation. Conservation would be the key word in this department.

If purchasing an existing structure, landscapers can still provide valuable input. Because they manage to achieve the optimum use of the available area they will be able to provide functionality to redundant areas. For example recreational and entertainment venues can be created from unused yards or old storage areas.

Horticulture is a specialist field, as many potential gardeners with good intention find out when they see their hard earned money disappearing in a bed of plants that just wilted and died. All plants have specific needs when it comes to soil type, sunlight, irrigation and many other variable factors. Save your bank balance and a lot of heartache and get advice from an expert in this field.

Aside from reselling potential, ease of sale, and how a property appears to the eye, occupants stand to gain many health advantages through occupying a well landscaped dwelling. Mental and physical health both thrive and prosper from the lifestyle that a well designed home can bring to its occupants. Breathing is improved by the purified air, intrusive sound is reduced and privacy will be improved from the greener living area.

Expense is only one issue in the debate of whether or not to make use of a landscape consultant. Perhaps a more relevant question to ask is what expense is incurred by not taking this step.
