Labor

• One of the most basic reasons a landscaper can be beneficial is because oftentimes the labor involved in a landscape design can simply be too overwhelming for a homeowner.
  
  

Tools

• Another benefit to hiring a landscape designer is that they own their own tools. It can be prohibitively expensive to buy your own garden tools.
  
  

Plant Knowledge

• Landscapers have extensive knowledge of plants, of which species suit which environment, and how to take care of those plants.
  
  

Geograpical Knowledge

• Good landscapers are also knowledgeable about erosion, how hills, valleys, and other features can affect a landscape, and how to remedy these geographical situations.
  
  

Time Frame

• In the end, the decision to hire a landscape designer may simply come down to time. Many homeowners do not have the time to design and maintain their own landscaping, and a landscaper solves this problem.
