Choosing the Perfect
Landscaping Contractor for You



Investing in a home landscaping project is a smart decision.

Choosing the right landscaping contractor is key. Time, budget and a properly laid out plan are things to consider but you need to have trust in the contractor.

Included in the investment is the search for the best professional landscaping contractor available who can stay within your budget and yet do an acceptable job. You do not want a “run-of-the-mill job” that you see elsewhere in your neighborhood, but one that you have envisioned and suit your specific needs.


If you decided to continue with the project, you must start with a well thought-out plan. Put them into writing and identify the needs and requirements of the project. A landscape that you envisioned is entirely possible and will bring great pleasure.

Next you should prepare your budget. Will your dream garden be feasible? Is it practical or do you need to make some adjustments and/or compromises?

The best thing is that you know what you want and you are able to identify alternatives if your budget fails to accommodate your vision. Having a plan, budget, and timetable for your landscape project will make it easier for you to negotiate with your landscape contractor. S/He is your practical accomplice to ensure the project will meet your budget and assure that it will look as much as possible like you had envisioned.

Be sure there is a design plan that is on paper for you and your contractor to refer back to. Any changes need to be added to the design plan. The landscaping contractor will need to understand any changes.

With everything in order, you are now ready to finalize your landscape plan and choose your contractor.

  •  A landscape contractor can do many jobs for you. Make sure you identify what help you want from him. If you like to work in the garden and want to do some of the work yourself, tell your contractor about it and work with him so that he will know what is expected of him. This will make the work less expensive.


  •  Be sure that you have already identified what you want in the landscape plan. This should be in your preparatory plan before you even speak to a professional contractor. Do let him know that you would appreciate his professional expertise and input – this will put him at ease.


  • Know the landscape companies that you are contacting and negotiate with them. Gauge their level of experience and the quality work by asking for photos or tours of their previous projects. You should also ask for references and their professional affiliations.


    • Be sure that the company is operating legally. This will ensure you that the contractor will be accountable to you. You can also check if they are bonded.


    Everything you agreed to must be in ‘black and white’. Never walk away without a written contract and a design plan!

    Make frequent visits to the site of the landscaping if it isn't right at your home. Be sure to raise any questions at the time you see anything you do not agree with or understand.

    Do all these things and you and your landscaping contractor will be assured that your home landscape will be the way you envisioned it.
