Why Choose Helms Landscape Design Services?

As an independent landscape designer, we keep you, the customer in mind first! Because many competitor designers work directly with installation contractors or nurseries, they may be under pressure to build more than is needed or may use inappropriate or over-stocked plants. Some designers will not even provide landscape plans to the client unless they are hired for installation. With Helms Landscape Design Services your plan is yours to keep, and you have other options: We can recommend qualified installers that we work with; you can hire your own installers; or you can do it yourself!
