Before/After Photos: The Landscaping Portfolio Checklist

Showing only polished final results undersells the actual transformation and skill involved.

A genuinely difficult starting point

An overgrown, poorly-drained, or awkwardly-shaped garden shown honestly before work began demonstrates real capability more than only showing the final result.

Consistent angle between before and after

Shooting from the same position makes the transformation immediately legible, rather than requiring the visitor to mentally reconstruct the space.

Variety across project scale and type

Small planting refreshes and full garden rebuilds both deserve representation, so a visitor with either need sees relevant proof.

Seasonal context where relevant

A garden photographed in full bloom looks different from the same space in winter — showing both manages expectations honestly.
