This time of year in Pennsylvania, many of us are eyeing our landscape and thinking of ways it could be improved. When you're getting quotes for landscaping projects, things can add up and tempt you to start trimming out items, like a design rendering. However, a design rendering can be one of the most beneficial parts of your landscaping project. They play a large part in minimizing miscommunication, ensuring that the result you end up with is what you envisioned. Design renderings also help you see what your concept looks like in practice, so you can foresee and address any issues before the project ever gets started. Having this reference for the end goal will help expedite the process, providing a touchpoint both you and the landscape company can refer to as things evolve throughout the project.


Ensure Your Vision Is Understood With a Design Rendering

While you may think that everyone is on the same page, what you are envisioning and what the landscape company is envisioning may be two completely different things – and it's awful to find that out halfway through a project. Opting for a design rendering of the project before it begins can help you avoid this headache! It will minimize miscommunications, ensuring that you end up with the landscape you had in mind and allowing you to iron out any misunderstandings before they ever fester into an issue.

Renders can be done in either 2D or 3D, depending on the size of the project and your personal preference.

How many times have you picked out the perfect paint color just to get it on the walls and wish you'd gone a shade lighter or darker? Or suddenly, that gray paint looks purple next to your blue sofa? Sometimes things look much better in concept than they do in practice, and a design rendering can help you catch and fix those intricacies before you've shelled out the money for a project. A rendering can show you how different elements of your property will blend together so you can envision exactly what it looks like. If you see that the retaining wall you want to add doesn't match your patio, you can make the necessary changes before the project ever gets started.

Without a design rendering, you won't have the opportunity to make changes until the materials are already ordered and in front of you. In order to avoid making the wrong choices, you should invest in a design rendering for your project.


Expedite the Completion of Your Landscape Project

Once we decide on a landscape project, we often feel like we want it done ASAP – yesterday, if possible. While we can't retroactively complete a project, getting a design rendering can expedite the time it takes your project to get from day one to complete. It provides a touchpoint both you and the landscape company can refer to as things evolve throughout the project, helping pave the path for a much smoother project.

Design renderings ensure small details don't slip through the cracks, even as you may change your mind about other features along the way.
