We know we’re not the only landscaping company out there, though, and we welcome our clients to review their options when considering a landscaper – and allowing us to prove why we stand above the rest. Here are a few important factors you should consider when looking at hiring a landscaping company like ours.

Experience

In a field like this, experience and knowledge are closely related. Someone with just a few years in the business just won’t have seen as much as someone with decades of experience. How do you ensure that you’re finding an experienced landscaper? A few tips:

  • Web searches: These days, any reputable landscaping service will have a visible online presence. Check for things like photos, customer reviews and reviews.
  • Referrals: Word of mouth is another way business spreads in the landscaping game. If a friend or family member has had a good or bad experience with a company, consider their advice.
  • Affiliations: The kind of affiliations a company holds can say a lot about their services. Look for landscaping companies that promote horticulture education and safe, ethical business practices.

Property Assessment

Every property is different and has different needs, and the kind of landscaper you hire might reflect this. Before making any final hiring decisions, schedule a site visit for a property assessment. This will assess what kinds of services you might be in need of, and allow you to avoid paying for services that aren’t essential. You can discuss your budget with the assessor, and ask any questions you may have of a professional.

Consider Your Goals

Another thing to consider before hiring is what you’re looking to accomplish. Are you looking for some simple touch-ups, or are you undergoing a big renovation like a new swimming pool or a backyard pavilion? These kinds of decisions might affect your choice for a landscaper,
