Unique Landscapes by Griffin

Phoenix continues to be one of the hottest places in the United States, and I just happen to call it home.  In fact, I started an Arizona Phoenix landscaping company that demands my attention outdoors most of the time.... I look for many excuses to sit in front of my computer and BLOG about Phoenix landscape design, but it just never happens during the day (when it's 115 degrees) - it happens at 11PM, when its...well, it's still 104!

Every great landscape project needs to start with a landscape design - in fact, it's absolutely necessary!  It's the entire foundation behind any project.  You don't build a house without a plan, you don't usually go to work without a plan, you don't even go to the store (and expect to be efficient) without a plan!  In Phoenix, we work on many large upscale landscape projects, and all require a professional landscape design.  My company, Unique landscapes actually does these Phoenix landscape designs for our clients for FREE, of course they need to be our client, and purchase landscaping from us...  It's a mandatory part of our landscaping and swimming pool design/build process.

A few reasons for a professional landscape design:

1.  Saves you money - even paying for a design, and getting professional ideas - this will save you time, money and allows you to have a professional insight and suggestions on a project (even if you use the professionals advice or not)

2.  Saves you time - a good design allows you to plan the things you will need to get the job done or if a landscape company is doing the work, it allows YOU to work to pay for the project (work in peace i should say - and not worry that it's not going to look right)

3.  Set expectations - when a professional landscape company is doing the work - a landscape design can set expectations, and enable you to understand what you are getting from that landscape company.

4.  Ideas - a landscape professional can add so many ideas that you would never have considered.  It's their livlihood, and it's what they do - they have experience and suggestions that they will bring to the table - by doing so, you will have a better end result landscaping project!


So, before you pickup the shovel, or stop at Home Depot on the way home to buy some plants, a professional landscape design should be able to tell you if that's the BEST first step for you!   This project below doesn't just happen without a professional Phoenix landscape design!
