When planning a landscaping project at your home or business, finding the right landscaper may be the most important step. These days, most people only refer to a Google or Yelp review rating and decide from there. While that is definitely worth considering, there is more to factor in when finding a good Landscaper that will help you to get your job done right the first time. Here are some key things to consider when make the choice for which landscaper to hire for your project.
Communication. Communication. Communication.
Once you have found a potential Landscaper, the next step is to contact them. You’ll find in the landscaping world that it can be quite difficult to get landscapers to answer the phone, or even call you back. If you find the communication is lacking on the front end, that should be a red flag. What if you had additional questions or concerns once your project is completed? Would you really want to wait days or weeks for them to call you back? Or to spend your valuable time calling repeatedly with no answer? As a customer, you should not have to work so hard to just get in contact with someone. It is best to place a high value on communication on the front end so you won’t have stress in the long run.
Longevity in the Business
It is also important to consider how long a company has been in business. That’s not to say that a new company cannot perform well, but having a company with proven experience and has been around for multiple years bodes well for their potential performance. It is unlikely a business that does shoddy work will be around for a long time, because quality counts. Most company websites will list how long they have been in business, but if not, it never hurts to ask!
Is the Landscaper Insured?
When you hire an uninsured landscaper, you are putting yourself at risk as a homeowner. If a worker injures themself on your property, you could be liable and may be paying out of pocket far more than the cost of your project. Even if the landscaper only plans to be on your property to give you an estimate, it is still critical that they are insured. Accidents can happen at any time and hiring an insured Landscaper can give you peace of mind that you can stay focused on the project and not have to worry about anything beyond that.
Evidence of Completed Projects
Does the landscaper you’re considering have a website? It can be helpful to check it out and see if they have any pictures or videos of projects they have completed. This will allow you to compare jobs they have already done with jobs you may want to have done on your own property. You will have a preview of what you might expect from their work. It could also give you ideas for your own projects.
