Hiring A Landscaping Contractor
So you are browsing the internet trying to decide who to hire for this landscaping project you’ve had on your mind for quite some time. How are you going to make the right decision? You probably have talked to several contractors, why was one of the contractor’s proposals so high? And another one’s is so low you wonder how they could do it for that price? Where can I find a contractor that’s somewhere in the middle?
Well, we’ll offer some ideas on things you can do to ensure that you are hiring a respectable, professional trustworthy landscaping contractor.
Verify Contractor Work In Person
When contacting your contractor, always ask to see their past work and visit the sites in person. Pictures can be deceiving.
Ask For Referrals
Ask for referrals and talk to them. Inquire about professionalism, quality, timeliness, unexpected charges, and overall satisfaction with the contractor.
Warranties
Request a copy of the warranty they provide for their work.
Understand Costs to Avoid Expensive Mistakes
Educate yourself on costs. Extremely low prices can lead to expensive fixes later, especially in landscaping and hardscaping. It’s often cheaper to do it right the first time.
