Why do we need a landscape designer?
I just did an interview on the Half Hour Intern Podcast about landscape design that covers a lot of what I’m going to write. But to summarize it:When you hire a landscape designer, you’re not just buying a design. You’re also getting all the knowledge, education, and experience the designer has accrued over the course of their career.This usually means they know a lot about plants, but also how to solve problems in the landscape (like pest problems or drainage issues), and overall how to arrange the elements in your landscape in a cohesive, attractive way.You’re also getting a comprehensive approach to design.For example, when I design for a client, I:start with problem solving, identifying all the things the client doesn’t like, or issues they’re dealing with. And of course we talk about what they like, or want to keep in their landscape design.learn more about the client’s personality, their likes and dislikes, and how they prefer to use their yard.do a detailed analysis of the yard, including measuring, soil testing, observing which areas of the property receive full sun or shade, etc.do A LOT of research into plants and other design elementscreate multiple design drafts to end up with something the client loves.Hope that helps!
Do landscapers hire virtual assistants?
The general answer would be yes! But the more important question would be to consider what type and level of support the landscaper needs. For instance, is he a solopreneur who is doing everything himself, or does he have an office staff that needs some supplemental support? Are there projects that need to be done or is day-to-day support needed? Is phone answering/scheduling needed? Bookkeeping? Social media and/or implementation of marketing plans? Vendor management? In other words, the principles of office management apply pretty evenly to all businesses, so landscapers have basically the same business needs as any other type of business.You get the idea. Once you come up with a list of jobs/tasks that need to be done, you then have to decide if they can be performed virtually or if an on-site employee would be a better solution. (And of course, cost is always a factor as using virtual staff will always be less expensive than hiring an employee – and generally a lot less of a headache).Our landscaping clients are generally small companies who use us to answer their phones, schedule appointments, contact existing clients in the early spring to see what level of service they’ll need, provide customer service and help with billing. In addition, most of them are involved in spring Home/Trade shows, so we make the initial telephone follow-ups to schedule estimates and help to prepare and generate them in a timely manner.And in the off-season we help to schedule their snow plowing routes and begin to prepare for the next season.Hope that helps.
