Should You Hire a Landscaper? Here’s How to Know

Spring is here in Colorado Springs, and that means one thing—it's time to take a good look at your yard and give it some TLC after a long, harsh winter. As the weather shifts and we prepare for longer days outdoors, now is the perfect time to think about your landscape and what it needs to thrive.

At Green & Growing LLC, we know that maintaining a beautiful and healthy outdoor space takes time, tools, and expertise—not to mention some serious elbow grease. So how do you know when it’s time to call in the pros? Let’s explore a few signs that it might be time to hire a landscaping company.

1. You're Short on Time or It’s Just Too Physically Demanding

Lawn care can be a full-time job, especially when it comes to seasonal cleanup, mowing, debris removal, or complex hardscaping. If you’re already juggling a busy schedule—or just don’t want to risk an injury handling heavy-duty tasks—letting the professionals take care of it can save time, energy, and stress.

2. You Don’t Have the Right Tools or Know-How

With our dry, high-altitude desert climate here in Colorado Springs, proper plant selection, irrigation design, and soil care are key to creating a functional, lasting landscape. But not everyone has the tools—or the time—to research what works best. From aerators and blowers to specialized gardening tools, equipment can be expensive and bulky to store. Hiring a landscaping team ensures you get expert results without the hassle.

3. You Want a More Functional and Enjoyable Outdoor Space

With around 300 days of sunshine each year, it’s no surprise that Coloradans love spending time outside. Whether you want a new patio for entertaining, a raised garden bed, or just a more polished space to relax, a professional landscaper can help bring your outdoor vision to life with design that balances beauty and function.

4. You Want to Increase Curb Appeal or Property Value

Whether you're planning to sell or just want your home to look its best, landscaping has a big impact. A well-maintained yard doesn’t just add visual appeal—it can improve air quality, reduce allergens, and even contribute to a more peaceful state of mind. Plus, when your property looks great, it lifts the entire neighborhood.

5. You’re Tackling a Large or Complex Project

Thinking about installing a patio, regrading your yard, removing trees, or adding a water feature? These projects involve multiple layers—from drainage and elevation to soil and structure—and can quickly get out of hand without the right help. Our team at Green & Growing LLC has the experience to handle complex designs and installations with care.

6. You Want to Save Money (Yes, Really!)

DIY landscaping might seem cheaper at first, but between tool rentals, plant replacements, and the cost of fixing mistakes, it often adds up quickly. Hiring a professional can actually save you money by preventing costly errors, reducing material waste, and avoiding long-term damage to your landscape or irrigation system.
