TURF’S UP RADIO PODCAST PRESENTED BY TOTALSCAPE DESIGN

TITLE: “THE POWER OF DESIGN – WHY YOUR LANDSCAPE PROJECT NEEDS A PRO”

WELCOME TO TURF’S UP RADIO, WHERE YOUR INDUSTRY… YOUR STATION… NEVER SLEEPS.

TODAY’S EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY TOTALSCAPE DESIGN – WHERE YOUR VISION MEETS MASTERFUL DESIGN.

I’M YOUR HOST, AND TODAY WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST OVERLOOKED, YET MOST CRITICAL INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR PROPERTY – HIRING A PROFESSIONAL LANDSCAPE DESIGNER.

LET’S START WITH THIS… YOUR HOME IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT YOU’LL EVER MAKE.

YOU’VE GOT MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, PROPERTY TAXES, INSURANCE… ALL TO PROTECT WHAT?

AN ASSET. AND YOUR LANDSCAPE IS A MAJOR PART OF THAT ASSET.

SO WHY WING IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE OUTDOOR SPACES THAT SURROUND IT?

WHEN YOU HIRE A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER, YOU’RE NOT JUST PAYING FOR A PRETTY PICTURE OR A COLORED DRAWING.

YOU’RE INVESTING IN A PLAN – A ROADMAP – THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO GET FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE.

THINK ABOUT THIS: WOULD YOU BUILD A HOME WITHOUT BLUEPRINTS? OF COURSE NOT.

SO WHY BUILD YOUR LANDSCAPE WITHOUT A PLAN?

A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER BRINGS EXPERIENCE, VISION, AND STRATEGIC THINKING TO YOUR PROPERTY.

THEY UNDERSTAND SITE GRADING, SUNLIGHT PATTERNS, WATER FLOW, PERMITTING, MATERIALS, PLANT BEHAVIOR, AND EVEN YOUR LOCAL CITY REGULATIONS.

A DESIGNER IS YOUR TRANSLATOR – CONVERTING DREAMS INTO TANGIBLE ELEMENTS THAT ACTUALLY WORK TOGETHER IN THE REAL WORLD.

NOW LET’S TALK MONEY.

WE ALL WANT TO KNOW WHERE OUR MONEY IS GOING, RIGHT?

A DETAILED DESIGN BREAKS DOWN EACH PHASE OF A PROJECT AND IDENTIFIES MAJOR COST AREAS – FROM HARDSCAPES AND IRRIGATION TO LIGHTING AND PLANT SELECTION.

THIS MEANS FEWER SURPRISES, BETTER DECISIONS, AND MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR BUDGET.

AND HERE’S SOMETHING MOST HOMEOWNERS DON’T REALIZE UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE –

WHEN YOU SKIP THE DESIGN PHASE, YOU OFTEN END UP SPENDING MORE… NOT LESS.

WHY?

BECAUSE YOU MAKE LAST-MINUTE CHANGES, BUY THE WRONG MATERIALS, OR HAVE TO REDO POORLY PLANNED WORK.

ALL OF WHICH COULD’VE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A PROFESSIONAL DESIGN.

PLUS, IF YOU EVER SELL YOUR HOME, A BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED LANDSCAPE ADDS SERIOUS CURB APPEAL AND VALUE.

ACCORDING TO REALTOR STUDIES, LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS CAN BOOST YOUR HOME’S VALUE BY AS MUCH AS 15 TO 20%.

AND WHAT SELLS A BUYER MORE THAN A STUNNING OUTDOOR SPACE?

WE’RE TALKING ABOUT ROI – RETURN ON INVESTMENT – AND THAT STARTS WITH A DESIGN.

DESIGNERS ALSO HELP PHASE PROJECTS.

MAYBE YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE ENTIRE MASTER PLAN UPFRONT. THAT’S OKAY.

A DESIGNER WILL PRIORITIZE BASED ON YOUR NEEDS – AND HELP YOU INSTALL IT IN STAGES WITHOUT LOSING THE BIG PICTURE.

THAT’S LONG-TERM VALUE, DONE RIGHT.

SO WHETHER YOU’RE THINKING OF A BACKYARD MAKEOVER, A POOL INSTALL, OUTDOOR KITCHEN, OR A COMPLETE PROPERTY REDESIGN – START WITH A DESIGN.

NOT ONLY WILL IT INSPIRE YOU – IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME, MONEY, AND HEADACHES.

TOTALSCAPE DESIGN IS HERE TO HELP.

THEY DON’T JUST DESIGN SPACES – THEY DESIGN EXPERIENCES.

EXPERIENCES THAT ARE FUNCTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL, AND BUILT AROUND YOU.

FOR TURF’S UP RADIO, I’M YOUR HOST.

STAY GREEN… AND KEEP YOUR HANDS DIRTY.
