What to Know Before Hiring a Landscaper

1. What You Want Done

Assess your property and make a list of the services you require. Include regular lawn maintenance as well as any special projects such as mulch, sprinkler systems, or tree trimming. Also, list any trouble your yard may be prone to such as soil problems or areas where plants struggle to thrive. Ensure the company you choose is capable of each task. 


2. What Your Budget Is

Find out what the landscaping contractor charges for each service and investigate what is and is not included in maintenance plans. Before signing a contract, make sure you know what your budget for landscaping is and choose a company that can customize and accommodate your needs. Establish a set schedule with clear services laid out so you aren’t on the hook for additional charges.


3. If a Candidate Has Good Reviews

Ask for personal references to find out if past customers would recommend a business’s services. Read online reviews and look for examples of projects that are similar to what you are seeking for your property. Make sure they are also licensed and insured, and that their stellar reputation also includes adhering to local rules and regulations for landscaping work.
