What landscape clients misunderstand
A client with a plot wants a finished garden and does not understand that design, hard landscaping, planting and ongoing maintenance are separate stages with separate costs. Quoted a design fee alone, they assume the whole thing is beyond them. Plant selection is the other invisible expertise: choosing species that survive local conditions is the difference between a garden and a replanting bill every spring, and it is never presented as a reason to hire a professional.
What we build for a landscape designer
First, service stages with scope and fee basis — design, construction, planting, maintenance — so clients understand what they are buying. Second, project galleries by plot size and style with budget bands, which lets clients recognise their own situation. Third, plant selection expertise made visible, since surviving local climate is the argument for professional design. Fourth, irrigation and maintenance contracts, the recurring revenue and the thing that keeps a garden looking like the photograph.
