Landscaping FAQ's
Homeowners should confirm that the landscaping company is licensed and insured to perform work in their area. Licensing ensures the company complies with local regulations, while insurance protects homeowners from liability in case of accidents or damages during the project. It’s also important to ask if the company has experience with the specific type of project, such as hardscaping, garden design, or lawn care.
Homeowners should ask for a comprehensive plan that includes a breakdown of the design, materials, and labor costs. A detailed written estimate ensures transparency and helps homeowners understand the scope of the project. This also prevents unexpected expenses during or after the job is completed.
Homeowners should inquire whether the company offers design services, including creating plans and layouts for landscaping features. It’s important to ask for examples of previous projects, such as before-and-after photos or references from past clients, to evaluate the company’s design capabilities and aesthetic.
Homeowners should ask for a clear timeline, including the start and completion dates for the landscaping project. Understanding the project duration helps homeowners plan around any disruptions and ensures the company can complete the job within the agreed time frame.
Homeowners should ask if the company provides warranties on plants, hardscaping materials, or other installations, and what those warranties cover. Additionally, asking about ongoing maintenance services can be important for long-term upkeep, especially if the homeowner wants to ensure that plants, lawns, and hardscape features continue to thrive after the project is finished.
