A meticulously hand-rendered landscape design plan is incomparable to anything else. The ability to draw every detail, from the smallest plant to the largest water feature, is a skill that creates functional works of art that, up until recently, drew customers. Today, however, landscape design has joined the rest of the design world: technology is king. As competition in the landscape industry becomes fiercer, owners are looking for anything that can help set them apart. 3D design is a great opportunity to do just that.

The giant doors swing open and the anxious crowd begins to push forward as they shuffle their way into the monstrous convention center. Like kids in a candy store, landscape/hardscape professionals scatter around looking for the vendors they came to see. Maybe they came out to test drive the as-of-yet-unreleased, brand-spanking new mini-excavator, or perhaps they’re looking to speak with someone from the hottest 3D landscape design software and see it in action with a hands-on demo. Whatever the reason, both novice and seasoned professional contractors are excited to be at the event.

While the world has gone more digital than ever before, there are many aspects of the landscape contracting industry that still depend upon meaningful business relationships. For the average landscape contractor, creating a strong relationship with a local dealer is crucial to maintaining job efficiency and a competitive advantage in their area. This relationship can also lead to referral generation as well as easier control over the details of each order. When this relationship exists between your business and a local supplier, it helps appeal to homeowners, as well as ensure preparedness when challenges arise. Let’s dive deeper into the importance of positive, strong dealer relationships for contractors.
