What Do Landscape Designers Do?

Landscape designers are an valuable part of transforming your landscape. Designing a landscape requires a lot of knowledge and taste, and landscape designers offer cohesion, beauty, and balance while bringing your ideas to life. So, what do landscape designers do when creating your dream space?

What Do Landscape Designers Do?

Landscape Designers work directly with you to create beautiful features and solutions in your yard. From hardscaping (such as patios and retaining walls) to softscaping (plantings, landscape beds and lawns) to site solutions (drainage, soil and slope stabilization, and lighting), landscape designers are there to make your dream a reality. 

Our design team to have the installation experience, product knowledge and eye for detail to take on any yard dreams and needs. We will design a landscape that fits your goals and your land while making sure to use and offer eco-friendly options and sustainable practices. Your landscape will be a beautiful extension of nature and contemporary design.

Landscape Designers vs Landscape Architects

The terms “landscape designer” and “landscape architect” can be confusing, but what do they do and which one do you need? Both are capable of creating beautiful spaces and solutions. Landscape architects are typically more trained and capable for commercial or municipal development projects involving more than the average residential yard, such as utility planning and parking. Landscape designers tend to work on more intimate projects, working directly with the homeowner and creating custom landscaping to fit each home and owner. A good landscape designer has the experience and training to design almost any feature you can dream of for your yard.

Landscape architects are rarely necessary for residential work. Working with a landscape architect may be more costly than a landscape designer. A landscape architect also may not be part of the same company that installs the project. We believe being designers and project managers is an extremely important way to ensure that your project comes together smoothly and with attention to detail. As landscape designers, Magnolia Landscape and Design Co. has the education, training, experience, and connections to make sure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
