i would say that a designer might foresee any problems that you might encounter in creating a new garden that might never occur to the average gardener and that they have a greater library of experience and variation to draw from. ..in reality i think most gardens start off fairly simple and evolve..adding new beds/borders, hard surfaces, extending/moving/reducing parts of the lawn.. though you might always have wish you started with a properly thought out design in the first place you could also
