Can I hire a landscaper to design and plan but build it myself? (lemmy.today)

My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

There are landscape architects who essentially just do design. Maybe find one of those?

Architect! That sounds more like what I'm wanting. I'll search around for one, thanks!
