A professionally-drawn landscape plan gives you a defined version of the finished product so you will know exactly how your garden is going to look - what plants will be used and in what location, the positioning of structural and decorative features, what paving materials will be used and where.
If you're having the project professionally constructed, a comprehensive plan is essential so when you're obtaining quotes for the work, each will be based on exactly the same design and specifications (plants, materials, structural elements, etc).
A detailed plan also ensures you know what permits are required and issues (such as access or the positioning of pipes) need to be addressed before work starts.
