There are many commercial landscape design providers out there, so how do you choose the best one for your specific needs? Before you begin, you should have a good idea of what you want to see as the end result for your landscaping. If you are just looking for someone to keep your lawn mowed and flowerbeds weeded, you are looking for a commercial lawn care services company and not a landscape designer. To understand the differences between these companies, check out our blog post: The Differences Between Lawn Care, Landscape Maintenance, and Landscape Design Services.
Once you have a rough idea of what you are looking for in a landscape design, start shopping around for landscape designers with the following qualities.
Has Landscape Design Specialists on Staff
Most commercial landscape design is a complex process involving:
- Heavy equipment such as backhoes and bulldozers
- Skilled labor such as concrete mixers, masonry specialists, and certified arborists
- Design and planning specialists such as architects, civil engineers, and planners
Having experienced professionals in place for your project ensures that it will go smoothly, that it will meet all local regulations and certifications, and meet or exceed your vision and expectations.
Protects the Environment and Designs with an Eye Toward Sustainability
An excellent commercial landscape design company integrates the design project with the natural environment, making sure that the landscape design is not only functional and beautiful but sustainable as well. There are many regulations in place to protect the environment, so a good landscape design company has a working relationship with environmental scientists to make sure that the project follows all of these guidelines and provides guidance on how to make the final project more sustainable over the long haul.
Has Been in Business Many Years
Commercial landscape design covers a wide range of skills, project types, and areas. These designs can incorporate reshaping the property, constructing new outdoor living spaces, installing irrigation equipment, and much more. To handle the challenges that arise on every design project, there is no substitute for in the trenches experience to help address them quickly and correctly. Looking for a landscape designer with many years of experience in your local area is key to a good outcome.
Showcases a Large Portfolio of Completed Commercial Landscape Design Projects
A solid commercial landscape design company can show off a large number of completed landscape design projects for you to look at. Sometimes they even provide “before and after” photos to see how the site was transformed by their work. This helps you determine if the company can provide the services you are looking for and if you think they would be a good match for making your vision come to life.
Communicates Well with You During All Phases of the Project
Landscape design projects can be challenging and may even cause temporary inconvenience for you, your employees, and customers. An excellent commercial landscape design company lets you know the risks and potential challenges upfront so you can plan for them. They also keep you updated during every phase of the project, from initial design, to clean up at the end of it. Excellent design companies pride themselves on keeping their clients informed and assign dedicated project managers who will coordinate with you during the project.
