Homeowners, property managers, and business owners spend money adding curb appeal to their properties and businesses with lavish landscapes. Managing these all year long can take a lot of time, money, and dedication. This has created the need for quality landscaping and lawn care services. As a result, there is an abundance of landscaping and lawn care companies in the area. So, how do you know which is the best one for your job?
#1: Does the landscaping company offer the services you need?
The first step to determining if a particular landscape company is the right one for your business is by asking them about what services they offer. Some contractors only offer a certain type of service while others offer more including yearlong care plans. Be sure that the company you choose can meet your commercial company’s lawn and landscape needs. Most contractors offer these services:
- Landscape Design & Construction
- Routine Maintenance
- Irrigation & Lighting
- Snow & Ice Management
#2: Do they pay attention to sustainability factors?
If you want your lawn to be sustainable, choose a landscaper that prioritizes sustainability. The materials your landscape company uses and their water management efforts at your location should be taken into consideration when it comes to sustainability. Landscapes that save energy and water will have a positive impact on our environment while also being better for your budget.
#3: Do your research
Prior to signing a contract with a commercial landscape maintenance company, take the time to research the company. Here are things to find out about:
- When was the company established?
- Which certifications have they obtained?
- Do they have skilled crew members?
- Are they insured? If so, for how much?
- Do they handle their jobs themselves or do they subcontract them out?
#4: Four questions to ask your landscaper
Before you appoint someone to do the job, ask these four questions (and more if you have them):
- Where do they purchase their plants?
- Do they use organic materials to improve the condition of the lawn?
- Do they repurpose the waste that comes out of the lawn?
- What other methods are followed to minimize water waste?
#5: Do they have all the machinery needed to do the job?
When it comes to handling lawn and landscape maintenance, machinery is important– very important. The company you hire should be well-equipped to get the job done. The machinery needs to be in operating condition and needs to be used at the right time and place by a person that is trained to do so.
