Garden Design Drawings

A landscape or garden designer has knowledge and training on plants and landscape construction and can provide you with drawings, construction details and lists of suppliers and plants. Landscape architects have a degree and belong to a licensed professional association; they generally do higher-end residential or larger commercial projects. Be sure to check credentials, references and ask to see a portfolio.

Landscape design costs

It's difficult to generalize about fees, as they vary quite a bit, depending on where you live, the experience and training of the person you hire, and the scope of your project. A full landscape design (drawings showing landscape features and planting plan) can range from a couple of hundred dollars to over $1,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the design and the overall budget of the project.

Firstly, if you have not got a good knowledge of garden landscaping then you should seriously consider using the services of a garden designer. Although you will have to pay for a garden design drawing you will have the peace of mind knowing that you will have an estimate of how much the finished garden will cost. Also if you tell a designer from the start what your budget is they will design to that budget, it makes sense at this point to find a designer that also carries out or has experience in landscaping work as when they are in the design stage, producing the scale drawing for you they will have your budget in mind. Remember too, a professional designed garden drawing will be to scale, normally 1:50 (depending on your size of garden) and should include any relevant construction drawings so you can use this drawing to get quotations from various garden landscapers or even carry out some of the work yourself to save money.

If you want to create a beautiful setting to say then you might want to consider some shrub roses. Although quite expensive to buy red roses on Valentine's Day, actually bought a rose bush is not really expensive. There are various types and colors of rose bushes that you can get, and they generally require very little maintenance.
