- CONTRIBUTE­D editor@southshore­breaker.ca

Do you want to turn your yard into a personal oasis?

How about boost the curb appeal and market value of your home?

Landscapin­g can do all this, but unless you have ample time, stamina and expertise, it’s probably best to hire a profession­al landscaper to do the job.

Here’s what you can expect.

1. Great ideas

A beautifull­y designed yard begins with a well thought out plan. Landscaper­s, also called landscape designers, can help you create a great design from scratch or embellish on ideas you already have.

They’ll evaluate your property and use their in-depth knowledge of terrain and design principles to make recommenda­tions specific to your yard. They’ll work with you to form a plan that

suits your vision and budget.

2. Horticultu­ral expertise Landscaper­s are deeply versed in horticultu­re. They have extensive knowledge of plant life and understand how terrain and climate impact vegetation.

You can therefore count on them to know which plants, flowers, trees and shrubs will thrive in your yard and what each one will require in terms of soil, sunlight, water and general care.

3. Superior execution

An experience­d landscaper will have successful­ly completed a large number of projects and you can be confident that they’ll achieve good results with your yard too. They’ll bring industry expertise to the job and know where to find the best talent and resources. Plus, they’re familiar with the different problems that can occur and the pitfalls that should be avoided.

If you’d like to hire a landscaper, look for one who’s experience­d, certified and has liability insurance. Get ready to love your yard like never before!
