DIY vs. Call a Pro
Start small — plan on paper first, choose native plants for low maintenance, amend soil with compost, mulch 2-3 inches deep, and group plants by water needs. Tackle one area at a time rather than the entire yard at once.
Call a professional when:
Hire a landscape designer for comprehensive yard transformations, complex grading or drainage solutions, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, or when you want a cohesive design plan for phased implementation.
