Discuss how the design will cater to your family's lifestyle, such as areas for relaxation, entertainment, play, or gardening. Ask about scalability as your family's needs change.

A good landscape architect will have a vision that includes short and long-term goals to benefit your family. They will evaluate your current needs and consider how those needs may change. They will incorporate your family's needs into the design and ensure it benefits them.

2. What Is the Timeline of the Project?

Timelines will vary depending on how much work needs to be done. However, the landscape architect should give you an accurate timeline. Discuss potential challenges or delays that could impact the timeline and how they plan to address them.

Your landscape architect should be responsive and willing to take the necessary time to discuss timelines and other things that will affect the project. They understand that you must plan based on their projected timeline. They also understand how vital it is that your project sticks to the timeline they promised.

3. How Much Will the Project Cost?

Cost is always a consideration. A good landscape architect will provide a written estimate and a breakdown of the whole project. Every cost and service provided should be outlined in the estimate. If you have any questions about the estimate, you should ask before you sign the contract.
