We are debating hiring a landscape designer or handyman. We have a pretty good idea what we want but, yeah, we are amateurs. Does professional landscaping by itself give a good return on investment?

No it doesn't increase the price you get for the house, but it does make it easier to sell. We had a lot of landscaping done on our last house, but we did it for our enjoyment and not to increase what we got for the house when we sold it. Which was just as well because we didn't make a fortune on the house but it did sell quickly.
