Many people want to know if landscape design is a good investment.  In a word, yes, but only if you choose a company that provides the highest quality design combined with reasonable pricing. In her article How much value does landscaping add to your home when selling?, Jill Chodorov Kaminsky states that returns range from 5% – 1000%.

That is a huge range.  A designer who is not talented or significantly overcharges for a project can reduce your return.  However, a talented landscape designer with fair rates will enable you to receive a high return on investment.  Just as importantly, a skilled designer will enable you to enjoy your yard for years, and will have your friends and neighbors asking “Who did your landscaping?”

Seven tips to finding the best landscape design firm for your needs in Bergen County

Many people are not sure how to hire the best landscape design company to fit their needs. Here are seven tips that can guide you to the landscape design firms that can help you to bring your landscaping dreams to life.

  1. Figure out what you want – It is critical not only to look at the designer’s portfolio, but look for a landscape designer who can help you clarify and crystallize your ideas and then transform them into a design that can be implemented within a reasonable timeframe and within your budget. Sometimes your dream is bigger than your budget.  It is at these times that identifying and vetting the right landscape design company—one that understands your goals and your pocketbook—can be a real find!
  2. Creativity – Lower-end firms will have a portfolio that lacks innovative and customized design elements—after a while it all looks the same. A quality landscape design firm will start by walking your property, taking in the slope, the lay of the land, etc.  They will listen to your dreams and talk about your budget.  Then they will design a customized plan that includes the features you desire.  The best landscape designers are like master sculptors; with the ability to bring out the beauty of your “block of stone”.
  3. Reputation – If you like a landscape designer’s portfolio, ask for references and testimonials. Check their on-line reviews.  If their customers are saying things that support their claims, you are on the right track. If they are contradicting their claims, it may be time to speak with a different landscape design firm!
  4. Make sure you are comfortable – Speak with the person who will do the designing. Make sure you are comfortable with them and that you understand how changes will be handled if they are required. Look for someone who is flexible, fair and accommodating.
  5. Avoid firms that cut corners – Ask how items like foundations and drainage will be handled. Ask how they prepare flower beds so that they best support healthy flowers. Ask if the shrubs, bushes and trees have warranties. Ask the designer if they handle all necessary permits.  Avoid firms that cut corners to lower price.  If a company tells you that the proper way to do something is one way and then offers a cheaper way – it usually requires corners to be cut.  In most cases, you end up unhappy or having to pay a second time to correct the issue.  Demand quality before you look at the price.   Quality is always the best value.
  6. Do they offer warranties? If a landscape designer invests in quality shrubs, bushes and trees, they should come with a one-year warranty based on proper care. Additionally, ask if their hardscaping and landscaping is warranted.  A high-end landscape design firm will provide a warranty on these, too.
  7. Speak to several landscape design firms. Make a list of what is important to you. Many people compare the following: quality, creative design, ability to help clarify your desires and dreams. Look for flexibility, reliability, excellent communication skills, prompt responses and quality service.
