My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

Just post your yard on a landscaping forum and ask for input. If you can get a drone shot it’s even better. Amateur landscapers can have some good ideas.

We were thinking about that, but our yard is a bit complex with shape and existing features and would prefer a professional to help us think of any potential problems we’d run into.

This is a very good idea.
