Should You Hire a Professional Landscaper?
Landscaping is more than laying a bag of mulch or spraying weeds. And while it may be tempting to DIY your way through the process, there are some major benefits to hiring a professional that can help you save time, money, AND ensure you get better results.
In this post, we are addressing common misconceptions people have about professional landscaping and sharing the perks that can make hiring an expert well worth your investment!
A professional landscaper can show you the end-result before any plants are in the ground.
A huge perk of hiring a professional is being able to tap into their in-depth knowledge base and design tools. You may not realize it, but landscaping requires a healthy dose of creativity! You need to be able to use your imagination and outline a thoughtful layout that’s both beautiful AND functional. When you only favor one or the other... the result won’t be nearly as stunning or enjoyable.
One of the things our clients rave about is our landscape design renderings.
After we work to understand a client’s goals and budget, our team takes a before photo of the house and surrounding yard. Then we use these photos to draft a rendering of the landscape design. After the rendering is created, we send it over to the client so they can visualize how their landscaping will look before we ever pick up a shovel.
This gives them the opportunity to make changes and ensure the end result is something they’ll be over the moon about!
Once we have your stamp of approval, our team gets to work on bringing it to life.
Check out how the progression of this project from before, to the rendering, and the final design!

A professional landscaper can help you understand the best way to maximize your budget... And even help you save money!
A common misconception is that professional landscaping is expensive. More so, that a professional landscaping company is only interested in how much money they can extract from you--and that’s simply not true.
At Snyder’s Landscape, our focus is to empower you with the right information and guidance, so you can make smart decisions based on the budget you do have. That’s why we come alongside you to present the plants, materials, and options that work within your means and remain super transparent when something you want may exceed the amount of money you’d like to spend.
It’s important to remember that we do this every day. So, we’re well versed in what avenues are available, how much things cost, and creative solutions we can explore to get you the desired look you want without breaking the bank.
In fact, there have been many occasions where we’ve helped homeowners SAVE money!
Often, homeowners spend valuable time or money trying to cobble something together on their own only to hire a professional to fix their mistakes (which ends up costing them more). When you hire a professional, you can count on them getting it right the first time and enjoy the cost savings that come with a job well done
A professional landscaper helps you protect your most valuable resource...time!
While we can certainly help you save money, a professional landscaper can also help save you time.
Often what would take a week or two weeks for you to do on your own, we can complete in a matter of a few days!
We can even help alleviate the burden of having to maintain your landscaping too! In fact, any Snyder’s Landscape customer who hires us to maintain their landscaping automatically receives a 1-year warranty on their plants!
The way we see it, you want to spend more time enjoying the outdoors (especially when Michigan only gives you a small window to do so). Read a book in your lawn chair, share a meal on your patio with your family, and let us keep your surroundings in tip top shape.
