Information is everywhere these days. Watch a few YouTube DIY videos and you’ll soon come to believe there’s not a problem that can’t be solved without a little Googling. The same goes for landscaping projects. You might read a few articles or watch a few videos and think tackling your own landscaping projects is a snap. Maybe. But there are some cases where hiring a professional is the best idea. So why should you work with a professional landscape company at all?
Here’s why: Even the step-by-step plans you find online may not be enough to properly execute your landscaping vision IRL (that’s “in real life” for you Internet novices). If you’ve ever tried to diagnose a medical condition with the help of WebMD.com, you already know that putting too much stock in Google search results can lead to disaster — or at least a whole lot of stress.
Check out our list of 10 reasons you need help with your landscaping.
Your home’s curb appeal calls to mind the Dream World house in “Nightmare on Elm Street.” Do yourself a favor and Google it. It isn’t pretty.
You can’t tell the difference between annuals, perennials and biennials. They all end in “als” and they’re all plants, right?
Your idea of landscape design is a dozen randomly placed lawn ornaments with no cohesive theme. You just had to have that Bigfoot statue, didn’t you?
You can’t remember the last time your grass was entirely green. Cue the randomly placed lawn ornaments to cover up the many brown spots …
Your plants won’t grow, mostly because you had no idea where to place them. How much sun does a plant really need, anyway?
You’re not sure what “pruning” means. Instead, you just cut your plants into haphazard shapes willy-nilly.
Your idea of maintenance is to weed once in the spring and hire a neighbor boy to mow once a month. Does a lawn require more than that?
You’re “that” home on the block. All of your neighbors’ homes look better than yours and you stick out like a sore thumb.
You simply don’t have the time or interest in doing the work. Let’s be honest, you never had much of a green thumb.
You’re not entirely convinced landscaping is all that important – even though experts say it can add up to 28 percent to your overall home value.
