Before hiring a landscaper, ask about their experience, design process, timelines, and maintenance plans. Clear communication ensures that both parties are on the same page.

When planning your front yard landscaping, it’s crucial to communicate effectively with your landscaper. Here are five specific questions you should consider asking:

2. What types of plants and trees are best suited for my front yard, considering the local climate?
   • • Knowing the best plant selections for your area ensures a sustainable and low-maintenance landscape.
3. How do you plan to integrate hardscape features such as pathways, lighting, and retaining walls into my front yard design?
   • • This question addresses the integration of non-plant elements that add structure and functionality to your front yard.
4. Can you design a front yard landscape that offers privacy and security?
   • • Inquiring about privacy and security ensures that the design meets your needs for a private and safe outdoor space.
5. What measures do you take to ensure proper drainage and prevent water accumulation in the front yard?
