Is my landscaper judging my budget, taste, or property?

A professional landscaper shouldn’t be judging anything; they should be clarifying goals, constraints, and style. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, the right process starts with a needs interview, target budget range, and examples of looks you like and dislike. Ask for a concept that fits your budget, plus an “add/hold” list so you control upgrades. If a landscaper pushes past your budget or dismisses your preferences, switch firms. Good fit shows up as clear options, transparent prices, and respect for your priorities.
