Here's what the well heeled clients do instead of relying on Houzz -
They talk to their interior decorator for referrals. Most decorators are shopper/buyers and if the project is big requiring significant renovation, decorators don't know how to draw and can't file so they HAVE to work with a licensed professional. They usually know some they have worked well with.
They look at completed projects they admire and ask the owners if they would recommend the designer/builder.[/quote]

I can't fathom seeking an interior decorator's guidance for anything involved in a landscaping project.  It's entirely outside of their lane and their professional contact list.  I would absolutely hire an interior decorator to decorate - they can elevate a project in so many ways - but this sort of advice is awful.[/quote]

That rec route is to find an architect.
For landscape arch., usually talk to the architect to see whom they have worked with or follow up with owners who have work done the OP likes.
No self respecting architect relies on Houzz.[/quote]
