Why Use a Professional Landscaper?

Landscaping your garden is a significant investment. Done well, it adds value to your home. More importantly, it increases your quality of life. Brett Penny of Limebok Landscaping explains why using a professional landscaper is money well spent on your project.

There has been a noticeable increase in recent years of the benefit and pleasure people get from a well designed and built outdoor space. Taking this into account, the best choice you can make is to find someone who is skilful and passionate about what they do and will bring your dream to life. That’s where a professional landscaper comes in.

A professional eye

A professional landscaper specialises in garden construction and takes pride in their work. This is a major benefit to customers. Attention to detail, quality workmanship and a love of building gardens is always at the forefront of what they do.

Landscapers will have come across many different scenarios when building gardens. Because of this, they will be able to offer professional advice, add some great ideas and highlight potential issues at a planning stage. This can save on compromise and costs once the build is in progress.

Liaising between client and designer

Professional landscapers are able to work closely with designers and end clients. They can interpret and visualise the completed project and understand what is required to build a beautiful outdoor space.

In-depth knowledge

Professional landscapers build up a portfolio of work, where every project is different to the last, and there is something to be learnt from every job. We then apply this knowledge to each new project.

They'll have in-depth knowledge of the products available on the market, which materials work well together and which products would be best suited to your project, ensuring your finished garden is of the highest possible quality.

Membership of professional bodies

Many landscapers are members of trade associations like the APL (Association of Professional Landscapers) or BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries). By choosing a landscaper that is a member of one of these associations, you can be confident that the company you have chosen will have gone through a rigorous vetting process where every aspect has been assessed, from the quality of the workmanship to working practises, insurance and staff wellbeing.

If it’s a quality garden you are looking for, then employ a professional landscaper!
