We have written several articles about why choosing a landscape design/build firm with a landscape architect or the right landscape design company helps to ensure a good outcome for your landscaping project. A recent Google client review prompted us to share the benefits as seen from an actual client’s perspective.
This client is an excellent example of making all the right choices before jumping into a backyard project. First, he took time to decide the best use of the wooded area in their backyard. Aside from adding plantings, he and his family discussed additional elements that every member of their family may use. Next, he researched landscape companies. He chose a design/build firm with over 25 years of experience, our company, Outside Landscape Group. By choosing a firm with experienced landscape architects who design a landscape rendering for each project, the client was able to see the vision before a single shovel hit the ground.
In the Client’s Words
“In late May 2024 we decided to transform our wooded backyard into something that could be both beautiful and useful to our family. We weren’t sure what we wanted but decided to give the team at Outside Landscape Group a chance to take our limited vision and make it a reality.
Ray was our Architect for the project. Super friendly and able to ask the right questions, he came to our house and we had a long chat. A Surveyor came to our house for specific measurement and then Ray came up with a design drawing 2 weeks later that was quite detailed and worthy of framing on our wall!
Back yard/Front yard development including practice putting green, boulder wall and stairs, fire pit, play area, plantings (that deer would NOT eat), irrigation, LED landscape lighting, new sod. The contract terms and pricing were quite specific. After deciding to move ahead, the entire project was scheduled to start and finish in August.
Almost daily, Ray would check on the teams and our vision started to take shape. After completion, we can honestly say that the drawing looks like the real thing in our backyard. Water drainage on our 2 tiered back yard is perfect (after watching 2 different rain storms), irrigation covers all our plantings, the sod matches the rest of yard and is ready for mowing. Turning on the landscape lights at night was stunning. The putting green has very natural slopes, ball speed is perfect, and water drainage is perfect.
Oh, by the way, the numerous deer totally ignore our plantings! All teams were very good at taking care of the work site and clean up.”
