Property Owners Get Real Benefits By Making Use Of Landscape Design Professionals

By Mark Brooks


Listening in on a discussion between a group of recent home buyers, or property owners with a development plan, when someone brings up the topic of landscape design. More than likely the responses will be that it is a good idea, just a pity it is so pricey, or that there was no space in their financing for luxuries like landscapers.

Realistically, things can work out differently. Plenty of customers have now realized, that utilizing landscaping companies can actually bring about savings over a longer period. Surprised, new home owners will ask why, and how this is achieved.

Firstly, houses and property are for most of us the single largest investment decision we will ever make. Naturally that investment should be secure and ideally appreciate in value over time. Property layouts that have been supervised by professional landscapers are known to increase in value at faster rates than those that were not.

However, value is only one aspect of an investment, marketability is equally important and properties on well landscaped surrounds will be more appealing to and attract more potential buyers. Consequently such properties will be on the markets for shorter periods.

The best way to achieve this, if the property is yet to be built, is to involve a reputable service during the design stage and in conjunction with the architects. This team based approach between both sets of professionals will ensure positioning of permanent structures is achieved with optimal use of the available land.

Management of run-off water from storms, draining the property and preventing erosion is all of importance. Similarly, in drier areas a policy of water management will have to be implemented. This would deal with saving and preserving water supplies, storing surpluses, preventing residual water from evaporating as well as the negative impact on the ground structure resulting from erosion.

In the event of buying a house that has already been built, a landscaper may still have important advice. As they pursue optimal utilization of the existing land they aim to open up unused or neglected parts of the property. Such efforts are particularly effective in creating areas for recreation and entertaining from previously redundant regions of the property.

One way of throwing away a lot of money, very rapidly is to make uninformed decisions about trees, shrubs and the garden in general. What worked in the garden where you grew up does not make you qualified to establish a new garden. Trees, shrubs and grass all have specific needs, likes and dislikes, and determining the best place to plant your exclusive nursery purchases needs more than just gut feel.

Apart from value, resale potential and appearance, there are many health, therapeutic and psychological benefits from living in a well designed environment. Well planned and attractive outdoor areas create a sense of well being among the inhabitants which reduces stress levels. It will create a healthier home by filtering pollutants, provide cleaner air and reduce noise from external sources. In addition a well laid out garden can increase privacy by creating a green buffer zone.

Expense is only one issue in the debate of whether or not to make use of a landscape consultant. Perhaps a more relevant question to ask is what expense is incurred by not taking this step.
