Answers and information

A professional landscape designer can give your outdoor space an instant upgrade and make it more functional. An experienced landscape designer has a strong understanding of the elements that improve any outdoor environment. Their designs take into account various factors such as functionality, usability, utility, site orientation within your property, local weather patterns, budget, as well as personal tastes and style.

It depends on how many consultations you would like to have with your designer, if you are okay negotiating the details of what is in or out of scope or if you prefer the designer to make their best guess about what you want from a concept sketch. A designer will usually give you a ballpark quote for their time based on an approximate number of hours based on their level of knowledge and experience.

The price varies depending on the size and style of the design. As designs can be single to multi levelled, include swimming pools, outdoor kitchens and so on.

Landscaping involves a variety of practices aimed at enhancing the aesthetics, functionality, and overall appeal of outdoor spaces. It encompasses a broad spectrum of tasks, including design, installation, and maintenance of outdoor areas. 

Designing a low-maintenance landscape involves strategic planning and selection of elements that require minimal upkeep. Green Turf Landscaping might offer these suggestions:

Plant Selection: Choose native or drought-resistant plants that thrive in the local climate. These typically require less water and maintenance. Green Turf Landscaping could advise on suitable species that flourish in the specific environment.

Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture, suppresses weed growth, and adds nutrients to the soil. Green Turf Landscaping may recommend using mulch to minimize watering needs and reduce weed growth.

Hardscaping: Incorporate more hardscaping elements like stone pathways, decks, or gravel areas, reducing the amount of lawn or plant beds that need maintenance. Green Turf Landscaping might specialize in designing and installing these elements for both aesthetics and functionality.

Automated Irrigation: Install a drip irrigation system that efficiently waters plants at the root zone, reducing water usage and the need for constant watering. Green Turf Landscaping could set up automated systems for easy maintenance.
