How to Choose a Landscaping Company Geelong and Save Your Time & Money

Choosing the right landscape designer or Landscaping Geelong Company isn't always easy.

Why? Because you may be bombarded with misleading claims, confusing advertising, or simply bad information.

Whether you've hired a Landscape Company in the past, or if you're searching for the perfect designer for the very first time, this information will save you some time and money...maybe even a headache or two.

Below are 5 Questions You Must Ask Before Hiring A Landscape Company:

1) Is the company properly licensed and insured?

This first seemingly obvious thing to consider when hiring any landscape company. Make sure you want to hire a landscape company that's licensed and insured.

Any company without the proper licenses could present a potential liability issue for you. You'll certainly want to hire a company that is insured. Always insist on certificates of liability.

2) Are quoted prices fixed or just cost estimates?

It's no secret--professional landscape companies base their pricing on three basic factors: labor, equipment, materials and profit. However, there are also overhead costs that you may not realize. If you expect a professional company with great quality and great customer service, the it's unlikely you'll be happy with a landscape company offering the lowest "rock-bottom" pricing.

Keep this in mind when comparing prices and proposals. Quite often what appears to be the low price can be deceiving. It is critical for you to clarify and understand exactly what's included and what's required to achieve your desired outcome.

3) Will you be able to talk to other clients who have used the landscape company for similar projects?

Be sure to ask for references from other customers whose properties are similar in size and and scope of work to that of your own. When gathering feedback from other customers, make certain you ask about the level of communication offered by the landscaper, their reliability and overall quality of work and if their project was finished on time and within budget.

4) What will be your line of communication with the company while your project is underway?

Be sure to ask about communications and who your point of contact within the company will be. This way, you'll be in the best position to handle issues that may come up. A professional company should report to you the progress of each day’s work and a plan for the next day. This could be done verbally or documented as a written report.

5) What type of guarantees will the company offer on your project?

Any company should be full accountable for their performance on your property and plantings or other products they install. This seems fairly straightforward, right? However, not all landscape companies offer a guarantee--and if they do, they're not all created equal. You should look for guarantees for 100% satisfaction for their product.
