At
Blackburn Nursery we have been helping to beautify Topeka and Northeast
Kansas since 1936. We are known for our excellent quality trees, shrubs,
evergreens, perennials, roses,annuals, ornamental grasses, and groundcover;
however, another important service we offer is professional landscape
design and site planning. Selecting a desired plant is only half the
task, the other half is selecting the proper location for the plant.
That is what a professional landscape designer is for.
What design
services do we offer?
- Our design
team is made up of horticulturists with degrees including Mechanical
Engineering, Landscape Architecture, Agriculture, Horticulture
and Business.
- We offer
state of the art computer aided drafting (CAD) as well as computer
video imaging which allows a client to view a representation of
a design applied to the home before it is installed.
- We also offer
on-site short consultations for smaller projects such as placement
of a few new trees or shrubs in an existing landscape.
Why is a
Professional Landscape Designer Important?
- Landscaping
is not just a pick and stick task any more.
- A professional
landscape designer adds the same value to a project as the traditional
architect does, only on the home's exterior aspect.
- Professional
designers adhere to professional standards and assure quality
control.
- Proper site
planning and analysis assure that all areas of a home, lawn and
landscape are designed to work together to produce a harmonious
uniform appearance to the entire site.
- A proper
landscape will showcase the the home (the largest investment made)
and add value to the property.
- Consultation
with the designer before a project ensures that value is added
to each project in a timely fashion and prevents possible homeowner
dissatisfaction after the construction is completed.
- Other site
considerations a designer can address, include designing to minimize
excessive heating or cooling, design of open areas to maximize
scenic views, or provide recreational or quiet time areas.
- The professional
designer integrates areas of design to achieve a consistency of
parts across a common theme. The result is a comprehensive, cohesive
landscape design that can be combined with the architecture of
the home or business to create a unified package, each area complementing
the other.
- A designer's
knowledge of plants takes into consideration growth habits, size
at various stages to maturity, common characteristics with other
features in the landscape, and compatibility with the a design
of the home itself.
