Most "landscapers" are attuned to shorn turf, and those exotics available from the big box store, and consider everything else a "weed".
Very important for a native lover to hire someone that is familiar with natives.

On the other side of the coin, being a "landscaper" trying to find homeowners (to garden for) who care about natives is just as frustrating.

Everybody plants that invasive exotic junk, and wants the good stuff removed.
