So you are planning your new backyard and trying to decide if you need a Calgary Landscapes Design or not. 

What qualifies me to give you information?

I come from Calgary Alberta, Canada and I am involved with Gardens Calgary Landscapes design. My experience in this field has shown me that this form of landscaping not only requires skill but also an eye for art. 

 There are many scopes of Landscaping projects out there. Some  folks may want to design just a patio for their new Landscape and others may want an entirely new backyard landscape.

 The next big decision you will need to make is whether you have the skills to take up the project yourself or is it better to hire a professional designer for adding landscape to your backyard. 

 But not everyone is an artist. therefore, it can be tough for some to visualize a finished yard. 

 For some reason, some things just look good, while not the same can be said for others. It is hard to put into words really, but it is very true.

One line drawn the wrong way can take an entire landscape design and make it look not quite right.

 Drawing, making mistakes, erasing and then redesigning the landscape on a paper is not a difficult task but in an acutaly yard, as I have seen in many  Calgary Landscape projects, there is no room for error. 

So, my recommendation is to get a landscape design for pretty much any scope of project in your yard and get your materials from a Koi ponds supply. What you have to decide is if you can do it yourself or if you need to hire a pro.

 You can answer the following questions to determine if you have what it takes to be a Landscape Designer. 

 Do you know how to draw?   

This is super important. Every professional landscape designer in will come up with a scale drawing.

 It is important to see the shape of your yard BEFORE you start to build. Think of the drawing in stone analogy.  

 Not only do you want to see the shape of your newly designed landscape, you need it scaled so that you make sure your proportions are correct. Nothing is worse than building a patio two feet short of which a table could fit.

 Technological advancements have spread its feet in every field. You can take advantage of the advancements by buying a software program that can help you in designing the right landscape for your backyard. The best thing about these software is they are extremely easy to use. 

2) What is your plant knowledge?

 Plants usually have long lifespan especially trees but in older neighborhoods we see that beautiful and fully matured trees and plants need to be cut down only because of the spacing problems 

 A professional landscaper will help you in investing in plants on long term basis. For example a tree can take up to 25 years to mature completely and hence you can invest in them without fear of losing your investment for a long time.  

Plants need to harmonize with the natural surrounding landscape.

 This will not only allow the plants to grow but also give give a fresher look to your landscape.  

In the area in which I live, there are many beautiful Calgary Garden Gardens in Calgary. The best Gardens all had a sound plan!

 Landscape redesigning in your backyard is not an easy task and hence needs special consideration and time to design a place for yourself and your family to enjoy for many years ahead 

Good luck with your endeavours,
