Landscaping is when your garden area is visibly altered, and can occur in several ways:
- Using flora and fauna to create new visual elements in your garden
- Restructuring your garden by shaping terrain; either by elevating areas, using platforms, patio area and decking, also by introducing new bodies of water or rocks
- Changing soil content to suit requirements of overall design
- Adding fencing, walls, statues or constructing small buildings
- Taking advantage of the elements, using light and dark areas of the garden to best compliment your design, also trying to combat problems like wind and light naturally so that your garden will flourish
There are several names for Landscapers:
- Landscape Designers: A Landscape Designer specialises in designing the ground-plan of the landscape of your garden
- Landscape Contractors: A Landscape Contractor does the hard construction for the landscaping work that needs to be done.
- Landscaper: This is the general term for a professional landscaping specialist. The general term of Landscaper usually means all aspects of landscaping, from design, development and production

A lot of hard construction work for the garden can best be done by a professional landscaper. Once you have found a local landscaper that can provide the type of landscaping that you are looking for, you can plan the construction and design with your landscaper.
Landscape Designers specialise in creating the design plans for your garden, and production plans that schedule the timeframe for the work that needs to be done. The work will reliably re-create your garden according to the design plans made by the Landscaper.
The best way to choose a landscaper is to contact several landscapers in the local area and request quotes from them. By explaining what you would like, the landscaper should be able to provide you with a quote of the work they would provide and how much it would cost. Then you can see the different services available from landscapers in your area, and how much they charge. It is a good way for you to choose the best company for the job.
