What Landscaping Companies Can Do that You Can’t

Hiring a professional landscaping company can increase the curb appeal of your home, and add functionality to your outdoor space. For many home owners who aren’t well versed in the area of landscape design, professional landscaping companies are well worth their cost.

Landscaping companies provide skilled workers who are proficient in landscape renovation, outdoor kitchen design, pool renovation and more. If you’re looking at redesigning your outdoor space, there are many reasons that landscaping companies will prove invaluable.

Benefits of Landscaping Companies

1. Labour

Landscaping can be back-breaking work. Literally. Almost all landscaping jobs involve a lot of bending over, and many involve heavy lifting as well. As a typical homeowner who is not used to this type of activity on a regular basis, the labour aspect of landscaping can be completely overwhelming, and can cause muscle and back pain if you were to jump right in. Professional landscapers are used to doing this work and know the proper way to do it to avoid injury.

2. Tools

For some projects, such as building pools, laying stone or pavement, or even adding beautiful focal points out of rock, special tools will be needed. Renting or buying these tools yourself can be very expensive – not to mention you’d need to learn how to use them. Landscaping companies come equipped with all the tools needed for a beautiful outdoor space, and of course – they already know how to use them.

3. Knowledge

Unsure of what type of plants will thrive in your area? A landscape designer knows. They also understand the type of soil you have or need, and what can be planted in it. They can flatten out your land, or create aesthetically pleasing hills. They also know exactly what type of landscape changes will increase the value of your home, and their high quality of work will ensure you’re not paying for repairs two years down the road – saving you money in the long run.

4. Budget

Many people have the misconception that doing your landscaping yourself will be cheaper. However, most homeowners are not aware of all the costs that will be incurred in certain projects. When you hire a professional, they can work within your budget. They will know exactly what materials and labour is needed on every project, and can tell you up front so you’re not surprised by extra costs later on.

5. Timing

Landscaping is a lot of work. Doing it yourself can take a very long time. Hiring a company who is well-versed in the field will definitely speed up the process, giving you usable space faster. What may take you the entire summer season to complete, a good landscape company could likely do in a matter of weeks.
