Landscape Contractor2
So you have looked out your window and noticed that’s your garden needs a make over. Knowing you don’t have the skills to do it your self, your only option is to get a professional. This can be a risky and expensive business if you chose the wrong one, so in this article ill give you some tips on how to chose the right Landscape contractor.
First step is to set a realistic budget, from my experience people seem to set a far too low budget to actually get a quality landscape.
After deciding your budget, think about what you want the landscape for ie if you have children, entertain or if you want to spend time in it gardening or not at all!! Have a look at some landscaping magazines and try and get an idea of what you want, formal, modern, classic etc Try and fit that in to how your going to use your garden
You next step after setting you budget and getting an idea of what you want is to find a landscape contractor. I think 3 quotes is a good idea, it gives you a good general idea of what its going to cost and also to see how the landscaper presents. DON’T always go for the cheaper quote, you know the saying ‘You get what you pay for’. If a quote is significantly cheaper that the others, there is a reason, maybe he’s cutting corners?? Be wary??
