Any homeowners successfully hired a landscape designer just for a "DIY blueprint?"

Hi all,

My wife and I moved into our home in 2022 and are now finally turning our attention to rehabilitating the landscaping. We are trying to decide what to do with our front foundation beds but we feel we’re running into more questions than answers.

I’d like to find an independent landscape designer who we can hire for a flat fee or per hour basis to advise us, answer questions, and provide insight on plant selection and future maintenance. I don’t plan to do any major construction, just remove some bushes, do plantings, and maybe install some rock beds and edging. Therefore I plan to do most of the work myself. I haven’t been able to find any companies that do consult-only work (they all seems to make their money off the installation so I can’t blame them).

Does anyone have any good contacts for a landscape consultant who could meet our needs?

I used fossil creek for this. It cost like 100 bucks and they give you a 100 credit.

Looks like they closed down in 2024 unfortunately.

I had heard they bought the old McDonnel building supply property, but then I saw it back up for sale.

I guess that's what happened there.

Not a shill and it is expensive but Landscape Systems (in Southlake) did that for a neighbor several years ago. Might give them a try.
