Choosing the Right Landscaping Company
Choosing a landscaping or outdoor design-build company starts with finding a team whose experience, process and project scope fit your goals. Review completed work, ask specific questions and confirm the details in writing before committing.
What to check before choosing your team
- Relevant projects: Ask to see completed work with a similar scope, property setting and level of finish.
- Customer experience: Read recent and older reviews across available platforms. Look for detail about communication, construction and follow-through. Membership in one review directory is not a requirement for quality work.
- Verifiable recognition: Check the issuer, category and year behind any award claim. Explore our documented awards and recognition.
- Design and scope: Confirm what design services, materials, installation work and exclusions are included in the proposal.
- Project coordination: Ask who manages the work, how the designer and construction team communicate, and how progress updates are handled.
- Credentials and coverage: Request applicable license and insurance documentation, including workers’ compensation coverage.
- Investment and changes: Review the payment schedule and written process for approving scope changes or unexpected conditions.
- Schedule and warranty: Discuss expected timing, factors that may affect completion and the warranty terms that apply to your project.
