Landscaping: describing the yard

Start with the problem you want solved (standing water, a bare slope, a yard you don't use) rather than a plant list.

Good to include in your request

What you want done: plantings, walls, drainage or outdoor living
Rough size of the area
Problems you're seeing, like standing water or erosion

Questions to ask the pro

How will this handle runoff in a heavy rain?
For walls: what base and drainage will go behind it?
Which plants are you suggesting, and why do they suit this spot?
Is there a plant warranty, and what does it require of me?

Landscaping & hardscaping: common questions

Who fixes drainage problems?

Landscaping and drainage pros. Tell them where the water comes from and where it sits.

Do retaining walls need engineering?

Taller walls may. Ask the pro and your city about height limits.

Can you do just maintenance?

Ask. Some pros take ongoing work and some only do projects.
