Five Parameters to Judge Your Potential Landscape Contractor

Are you excited that you are finally going to have an outdoor space you have been dreaming of since months? Well, if you have sat behind the four walls envisioning yourself with your friends partying in your backyard, the summertime is finally here to cheer you up. Now, you can enjoy pleasant evenings around the fireplace and invite friends and family over dinner.

And, because the winters have already taken a toll on your lawn, you need landscape contractors to help you repair the damage done and renovate it to give you the outdoor living area you want. But beware, not all landscape designers are the same. There are very few companies here in Magnolia that can take care of all your needs.

To judge their capability and competence, the following are the factors to be duly considerate of –

  1. Qualifications and Certifications

A new landscaping company in the city may quote you the lowest price, but that is not how you are supposed to make your judgment. You have to ensure that the team whom you are surrendering your precious flora has proper training and knowledge in the field and resorts to best practices. By doing so, you save yourself from headaches that can arise just days after your project gets complete and your lawn and property from any major harm.

  • Work Portfolio

You need a contractor on board who has good know-how of the job type you want them to pursue. And a great way to assess that is by looking at the picture so of their recent works online. High-quality and professional photoshoot and videos are an indication of their sincerity. By looking at them, you would instantly realize if they are putting their best in the work they do and displaying the same to clients.

  • Full-Service vs Maintenance

Every client has different needs, and a professional landscaping company would try to fulfil them all. However, some companies specialize in lawn maintenance only and may not be equipped with resources to get your design and installation done. So, depending upon what you look forward to, you can decide what company is best for your requirements. As per my advice, it is better to hire someone who can maintain what he installs.

  • Warranty and Guarantee

Reputable landscape design companies offer warranties on their products and services as a standard part of their process. They are confident in their team and work they do so are unhesitant to provide a hundred percent surety. But, the duration and terms can differ so it better to clarify it beforehand. If the potential contractor isn’t ready to offer any assurance in work done, it is a red flag.

  • Liability And Workman’s Compensation Insurance

Your landscaping team is certainly going to be involved in the movement of heavy plants and trees and also operate on the machine. In such situations, accidents do happen and if t your contractor doesn’t hold proper insurance, it would be you responsible for the damages. Also, if there is no valid license, the legitimacy of the job done on your site would never be there.
