When it comes to putting your outdoor space into the hands of a landscaping company, it can be daunting. You want good Perth landscape design at a decent price that won’t cost the earth. With every company out there making claims that their services are the best in town, how do you make the right choice?
It’s true that there are plenty of landscaping companies that can undertake decent work for a fair price. However, there are many that just don’t live up to expectations. Let’s take a look at how to tell the difference between a Perth landscape design service that’s trustworthy and professional and one that is just looking to make some easy money.
A good Perth landscape design company places an emphasis on the following:
Design
Great looking gardens just don’t happen overnight. So-called landscapers Perth-wide can design an okay space. However, when you employ the services of professionals such as Landscape By Design, you can be assured that your garden is in the most capable of hands. We work with our clients to create their visions. We plan with them every step of the way to create the garden design that suits their lives, needs and personalities.
Our team will specify all site preparation that’s needed such as irrigation prelays, soil removal and so on. We will also identify all site works, providing you with a to-scale detailed plan of the proposed landscape. In addition, we will give you a fully-transparent quote and discuss this with you in-depth.
Foundations
Generally speaking, Perth soil is pretty sandy without much organic matter or nutrients. To create a thriving lush garden, good landscapers Perth-wide either completely replace the soil to a good depth or amend it. A nutrient-rich soil needs large amounts of organic matter mixed in. So, if a Perth landscape design company plants straight into sandy soil, this should set off warning bells.
For landscaping to last, it’s crucial to have prepared the right foundations. Unfortunately, so many local landscapers overlook this necessary step. Perhaps this is as a result of inexperience or just so they can provide the cheapest quote – who knows? Do bear in mind that cheap is almost certainly never the best route to go down in terms of landscaping.
Reticulation
There are many areas in Australia where reticulation isn’t needed. However, in Perth, it’s basically essential to have. To get the most out of your new landscaping it’s crucial to have a life-giving watering system in place.
As you have no doubt realised, it’s a pretty difficult business trying to find a Perth landscape design company that will do the job properly, on budget and on time. It’s not unheard of for new clients to come to us to completely replace gardens and lawns that have been badly planned and executed. At Landscape By Design, we have a wealth of experience creating beautiful landscaping. Contact us today for a quote and to find out more about our many landscaping and design services.
