They’ve Come a Long Way Since the Pyramids

Posted on: 1 July 2020

Maybe your backyard has always been a little boring, or perhaps you just want something different. In any case, reaching out to a custom backyard designer to help you come up with a new plan for a backyard design is an excellent idea. If you have only ever tackled making changes to your porch, patio, and landscape on your own, you will be amazed at just how simple it is to work with a true pro throughout the process. Here is a look at a few of the things you can expect when you work with a backyard design service. 

Expect an initial consultation to discuss what you want to happen. 

The first thing that usually happens when you hire a backyard design service is a consultation. During the consultation, you will get the opportunity to talk about things like: 

• What aspects of the backyard you really want to change 
• What the primary goals are with the new design 
• What kind of maintenance you can handle with your landscape 
• What implements you really would like to have added 

After the consultation, you and the designer should have a good idea of what the backyard will need to get it to where it needs to be.

Expect the backyard design service to come up with a design concept for your approval. 

After some time, the backyard design service will get back to you with a design concept or a few design concepts that they have developed. You will get the opportunity to look at these design concepts and the elements included to determine if there is anything you would like to add or take away from the plan. The design concept may be in the form of a sketch with details and descriptions or it may be a digital rendering of your backyard with the proposed changes in place. 

Expect to be informed through each step of the process.

Once you have approved a design, the work on your backyard will likely get started right away. However, you can expect the backyard design service professionals to keep you informed as changes are being made. You may also be asked to provide your feedback about certain implements or changes that are being done. Of course, some homeowners are better suited to just having the professionals make all the big decisions as well. No matter what, the professional will take extra effort to ensure you are pleased with the end results.
