When deciding how to choose a landscape contractor, research the landscaping service's background carefully, noting how long it has been in business, affiliations, and contact information. Visit with a few landscape contractors to see which one can meet your needs. Get everything in writing, including costs, services and expected timeline of projects. Work out a schedule in advance if the landscaper will be mowing the lawn every two weeks, for example. Check out the company location if possible. Is it neat and well maintained? Is the company local, national or international? When finding a landscape contractor for your needs, speak with several professionals to get a feel for the company. Are customer service members courteous, reflecting a positive business attitude? Make sure the landscaper offers the services you need, such as backyard garden plants and vegetable gardens, garden design and architecture, maintenance, lawn care, mowing, edging, seeding, lighting, sprinkler installation or removal, organic gardens, herb and roses gardens, flowers and bushes, painting, and plantation seeding. You want to hire a landscape contractor that can supply fresh ideas and good maintenance tips, as well as install the proper gardens and accessories for your home or business. Narrow down your search to landscape contractors or companies that offer exactly what you want. For example, if you need paths and a terrace added to your backyard, incorporating a garden with plants and flowers, target landscapers skilled in landscape design and architecture, for large residential projects. Inquire as to the professional's availability. Ask the contractor if he or she is experienced in garden design and architecture, as well as professional lawn care and maintenance. Make a detailed list of the services each landscape contractor offers, and take note of the company's availability, hours, and quality of service before choosing a landscaping service.
