How To Find The Perfect Landscaping Contractor For Your Home Or Business

If you've been looking into professional landscaping services for your property, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming when trying to find the perfect contractor to execute them for you. We've laid out the best tips and tricks for finding the right company for your needs, so keep reading to learn a little more about the process and how to better tailor your search to exactly what you're looking for.

Step #1: Figuring Out Which Type Of Service(s) You Need

This step is fairly self-explanatory, since it would be hard to find a contractor without actually knowing what it is your home or business needs. The great thing about landscaping services is that there are a whole world of options to choose from, and there's a service for just about everyone out there. Knowing exactly what you need or want will be the foundation of your search, but just in case you only have a vague idea in mind, here are just a few of the many types of services offered in this industry:

• Landscaping: the actual service of shaping the land on your property to look a certain way
• Exterior enhancements: outdoor lighting, kitchens, hardscaping, patios, and more
• Maintenance: pressure washing, exterior cleaning, sprinkler system installations

Step #2: Beginning Your Contractor Search

Now that you know which service(s) you neeed, you can begin your search. Not all landscaping contractors will offer the same services, and not all companies will work with your type of property, so these are things to keep in mind. If you own a business but the company only serves residential properties or vice versa, it's not going to be a good fit. Once you've made a shortlist of contractors who can meet your individual needs, it's time to look more closely at their work.

Step #3: Vetting The Companies On Your Shortlist

There are many things to consider when vetting the contractors on your shortlist. Everyone has their own set of standards they need a company to meet, but here's a good checklist of things to keep an eye out for:

• Their level of professionalism, friendliness, and customer service
• Their work in action—before-and-after galleries and testimonials are a great way to see this!
• Their credentials, including necessary licenses, permits, etc., to do the work they offer
• Their prices and how they fit into your budget
