Why Should I Hire a Scripps Ranch-based Landscape Designer?

Local Knowledge

Scripps Ranch landscape designers are accustomed to creating functional, attractive, low-maintenance landscapes in the Scripps Ranch area. This means they are the best choice for designing gardens and outdoor living areas that include the features and materials that work best here. This includes understanding local regulations that might affect your project.

Coastal Influence Understanding

Coastal and near-coastal communities in California require a special understanding of designing landscapes to withstand fog, wind, and salt spray. Install-It-Direct has years of experience working with these coastal influences.

Hillside and Canyon Experience

The varied geography of Scripps Ranch includes slopes, hills, valleys, and other uneven terrain. Hiring a Scripps Ranch-based landscaping contractor ensures that your designer and the installation crew have knowledge of and experience in working with the local terrain. Your designer will be familiar with retaining walls, hardscapes, and erosion control fitting the needs of your home.

Access to Local Resources

Another benefit of choosing a local landscaping company is that local contractors are familiar with local resources, such as vendors and other contractors.

Does Install-It-Direct Landscape with Plants, Succulents, or Gravel?

Yes, our high-quality design and installation services team works with a variety of drought tolerant options that include gravel, succulents, native plants, artificial turf, and pavers.

What Landscape Design Styles Are Common in Scripps Ranch?

Scripps Ranch landscape design centers on low-maintenance, drought tolerant garden design that emphasizes curb appeal and upscale outdoor living. This often includes paving stone patios, fire pits, water features, artificial turf, and landscape lighting.

Does Install-It-Direct Design for Earthquakes, Wildfires, or Mudslides?

Those of us who call California home know that earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides are real threats in some areas. Much of San Diego County is at risk for at least one of these natural disasters, which means they must be considered when designing landscape construction for this area.

Our team can help you determine how best to reduce the risk of damage to your property. If wildfire is your greatest concern, this might include creating a defensible space around your home and other buildings and designing a landscape that focuses on fire-resistant plants. If mudslides are a threat, we will discuss your options for retaining walls and erosion control. We can also discuss hardscape options that can better withstand an earthquake, such as artificial turf and paving stones.

FAQ

How much does it cost to consult a landscape designer?

The cost of working with a landscape designer depends on the size of your project, where you live, and what you want to include in the design. Look for a designer who offers free consultations in order to get an idea of the price before committing to working with someone.

What is the difference between a landscaper and a landscape designer?

Landscape designers offer professional design services to homeowners remodeling their current outdoor living areas or creating an initial design plan for their property. They will take your design ideas, talk about your needs and wants, and then design a landscape that fits your needs, timeline, and budget. They will then provide you with a 3D rendering of the design and will then manage the installation process.

Landscapers are generally hired after this process to maintain the landscaping. Sometimes a landscaping company will provide some construction services, such as installing walkways or sod, but most often they provide general maintenance, including irrigation repair, mowing and other lawn care, pruning, property cleanup, and light tree services.

How much do landscapers charge per hour in Scripps Ranch?

Scripps Ranch landscape maintenance generally costs between $25 and $50 per person per hour.

How much should I budget for a landscape project?

The first consideration when determining your landscape budget is whether or not you have a homeowner’s association. If you do, check to see if the association determines how much residents are required to spend on landscape construction and design. This is most often a percentage of the value of your home. If you do not live under the regulations of a homeowner’s association, a general rule of thumb is to budget approximately 10% of the value of your home for your landscape architecture.
