6 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Landscape Designer

Choosing the right landscape designer is just as important as choosing the right landscape design. The right professional will create an outdoor space that complements your home, fits your lifestyle, and delivers lasting value.

For more than 100 years, homeowners have trusted Natorp’s Landscape to design and build beautiful, functional outdoor living spaces throughout Cincinnati and the Tri-State. Over the years, we’ve discovered that most homeowners ask the same questions before starting a landscape project.

Before hiring a landscape designer, make sure you know the answers to these six important questions.

1. Will My Landscape Look the Way I Imagine?

Every successful landscape begins with listening.

Our designers take the time to understand your home, your lifestyle, and your vision. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we create a personalized landscape design that reflects your goals and complements your property’s unique character.

2. Can I Stay Within My Budget?

A beautiful landscape should also be a smart investment.

We’ll help you prioritize your wish list, explain your options, and develop a landscape design that maximizes your budget without unexpected surprises. Our goal is to deliver the greatest value while creating an outdoor space you’ll enjoy for years.

3. Will the Plants Thrive?

Healthy landscapes start with healthy plants.

As the Tri-State’s largest nursery, Natorp’s grows and sources exceptional trees, shrubs, and perennials selected to thrive in Cincinnati’s soils and climate. Every plant is carefully matched to your property, ensuring your landscape is designed for long-term success.

4. Will My Landscape Be High Maintenance?

Your landscape should fit your lifestyle—not the other way around.

Whether you prefer a low-maintenance landscape or enjoy spending time gardening, we’ll design an outdoor space that matches the amount of care you want to provide.

5. Will Everything Work Together?

Exceptional landscapes are built through thoughtful planning.

From patios and walkways to landscape lighting, drainage, irrigation, retaining walls, and plantings, every element is carefully integrated to create one seamless outdoor living environment.

6. Will It Be Worth the Investment?

Professional landscape design offers benefits that last for years.

A well-designed landscape enhances curb appeal, expands your outdoor living space, increases property value, and creates a place where family and friends can gather and make memories.
