DIY vs. Professional Tradesman

If you are a retail customer, its important to determine whether you'll attempt to complete the landscaping project yourself or hire a professional tradesman - we recommend the latter. Doing it yourself (DIY) has many benefits including a more cost effective installation due to reduced labour costs, however this comes with numerous disadvantages. You may begin the process of building / installing paving for example and notice some errors or mistakes, these errors would require additional time and money to fix increasing the projects duration and extending the completion date. We recommend using a professional landscaping for all building / installation needs; they are experienced in this field of work and will notice errors before they develop into serious mistakes. They also know the trade laws and the guidelines to follow for specific landscaping projects. A professional landscaper would complete the job in a timely manner with limited breakages or errors, whilst working to deadlines, allowing you to focus on other aspects of design for example. Ultimately, it depends on your skills, the project’s scope, and your budget.
