Why You Should Leave Your Perth Landscape Design to the Experts

Here, in Australia, we are a nation of ‘do-ers’. We love our DIY and we’re well known for always having a go at getting jobs around the home and garden done. However, great landscape design is so much more than just mowing a lawn or planting some bushes and flowers. In fact, what can begin as a pretty easy-seeming job can soon become pretty involved.

Good landscaping involves sketching out plans and working out the best use of every last millimetre of space in your yard. Hiring a professional landscape designer Perth is always the best way forward to create a garden that looks great, is easy to maintain and that you will be able to enjoy for a long time to come. So, let’s take a look at the main reasons why it’s best to leave your garden design and implementation to the professionals.

Experience

While you may have the most amazing vision for your outdoor space, it is very easy to run out of steam once the excitement of creating your garden wears off a little. Landscapers are experts in their field for a reason. They are qualified and know exactly what works where. Of course, a good landscaper will actively welcome your ideas, vision and input into your project. After all, it’s your space. So, when you hire a professional, you’ll have the best of both worlds and can relax in the knowledge that your yard will be completed perfectly!

On budget

You might have a tight budget, so you don’t want to pay money to have your yard professionally designed. However, landscaping Perth firms will work with your budget to give you excellent value for money. Just let them know how much you wish to spend and they’ll do the rest.

Turn your Perth Yard into the Perfect Garden for Entertaining

If you’re anything like us here at Landscape By Design, you’ll love relaxing in your yard and entertaining when the weather is good. Perhaps you’d like to spend more time in your yard, but you don’t know where to begin to get it looking and feeling more like the perfect outdoor space for entertaining. When it comes to yard landscaping, Perth residents love to make the most of their space. There’s nothing better than relaxing in the garden with family and friends and just enjoying yourselves. So, with this in mind, let’s take a look at what can turn a plain old yard into the perfect garden for entertaining.

Shelter and Privacy

Perhaps the most important aspect of creating your entertaining space is shelter and privacy. You want a shield from the elements as well as from any neighbours or passers by when you’re out there having fun. Whether you wish to lay a patio, decking or anything else, it’s a good idea to incorporate some shade, partition walls, trellis or all three to enjoy the sense of privacy and shelter you wish for.

Lighting

There’s no use entertaining in a dull garden or in the glare of a security light. Instead, why not dot the area with little lanterns or solar powered fairy lights to add a lovely atmosphere? You could perhaps even consider installing a fire pit for light and warmth. Whatever ideas you have, speak to the team at Landscape By Design and we will make your ideas a reality.

Seating

There’s no point in enjoying your garden if you have nowhere to sit. When you’re creating your Perth landscape design plan, it’s a good idea to pencil in a decent-sized area for seating. Remember to include a table and to have an idea of a colour scheme too to bring things together. If you’re unsure where to begin, get in touch with our team for helpful advice.
