Landscape designers will help with getting permits for building structures in your landscape. It is important to note that when adding a patio cover, garden shed or other structure in your garden, city building codes must be met and permits may be required.

Landscape designers work frequently with sub-contractors that will lay walkways and patios, install plants and grass and build structures such as patio covers and garden sheds.

Don't rush when selecting a landscape designer. Take the time to go over all details carefully. Compare bids for design as well as for the quality of the materials used. Check references carefully and thoroughly.
