If you have never hired the services of a
professional landscape designer, you may be in for pocket book shock. Many
people think that in order to have a great looking yard they have to hire some
big shot landscape designer to do all the planning. This is not the case
however. Here at Smart Home Services we find out what you want in landscape
design and add our personal touch according to your budget not ours. It's not unusual for a homeowner to spend as much as 10 percent or more
of the cost of their home on hardscapes and plants.
Property that is nicely landscaped can increase the value
of your home by 15%, allowing the owners to recoup 100-200% of their investment
at selling time. Compare this with the investment recovery rates for kitchen
remodeling (75-125%), bathroom remodeling (20-120%), swimming pool additions
(20-50%).

Although some designs may be small and insignificant
to large companies such as a simple front door entrance or adding rocks to a
tree well. I have personally called on many landscape companies to find out
their minimum installation cost just to find out they charge upwards from
$50,000.00.
Here at Smart Home Services we will take on the
design jobs of $500.00 as well as the landscape designs that go up to $20,000.00
or more. That's not a bad investment considering
that attractive landscaping can increase the resale value of a home by 15
percent or more.
Key Benefits
For landscape installations, we work directly with the
homeowner.
Our landscape design plan includes specifics. Price
starts at $100.00 which is refunded if we are the landscape
contractor you use.
We list all the types of plants, trees and flowers
recommended, and their locations within the design.
We'll list the sizes and shapes of the beds we recommend
and their locations.
We will provide up to 3 different drawings to help illustrate the ideas
to the homeowner.
All landscape companies have access to the same suppliers
and equipment manufacturers.
Planning, organization and preparation, and our focus on
the customer's needs are what differentiate us from the
competition.
We guarantee all of our plants and trees, for up to 3
months.
If any of our plants or trees dies, we replace them. We
will not replace plants if the home owner does not water
or fertilize which causes the plant to die. We
only sell top quality plants and trees.
