Having the good fortune to be working on the product data templates on behalf of the Landscape Institute and working in a project environment with Revit being used on landscape I have a pretty niche experience of creating and using content within Revit specifically for the landscape.
There are more and more products being developed by manufacturers, either themselves, or through another agency. We're doing that ourselves. If you are going to go through another agency, or do it yourself. Please please please speak to someone who is using the software in landscape.
If you don't, the model that comes out of the other end could well be useless.
Your objects, created in whatever software, need to be fit for purpose. That means they need to have the right content in the industry standard format (or be updatable so that they can). They need to work in the software as they're used by professionals. This means, no dumb, flat, or 2D blocks on the one hand and no hugely flashy and impressive models that severely degrade the performance of your computer. Or at least considering these various criteria.
