David Lupberger on Why You Should Hire a Landscaper: Hi, I'm David Lupberger with ServiceMagic.com. I'm here with Kathy Bowen from "A Boulder Gardener" a full service landscape company. Kathy, can you help me understand why people work with landscapers and what's the benefit of a landscape plan?
Kathy Bowen/A Boulder Gardener: Well David, it's important to work with a professional landscaper or designer because they can really direct you on the appropriate plants to put in your new landscape. And then by them providing you with a plan you know what to expect and it also helps you budget.
Lupberger: How about extending, creating a new environment that I don't know what plants to use. What direction could you give me in regards to creating an environment that is really more inviting?
Kathy Bowen/A Boulder Gardener: Well that's a great question. And the importance again of working with a designer or someone who really knows plants is that they can extend the beauty of your home from the inside out. So again it welcomes your guests, and extends your living space.
Lupberger: So really invites you from the indoors and invites you out?
Kathy Bowen/A Boulder Gardener: Right.
Lupberger: Thank you Kathy.
Kathy Bowen/A Boulder Gardener: Thank you David.
