Planning Your Atlanta Landscaping Project
A well planned landscaping design can increase the beauty of your home as well as its privacy and resale value. And choosing the right Atlanta landscaper is essential to making your landscaping project come together.
One of the first things you'll want to do is sketch out your ideas on paper. It may only be a rough design but you'll have something in hand to work with when you talk with a Atlanta landscaper about your project.
Shopping for Atlanta Landscapers
Word of mouth can often be the best advertising for Atlanta Landscapers. If people are happy with a particular landscaper they'll let you know. Ask family or friends if they have a recommendation. Keep an eye out for landscaping service trucks in your area. If you see the same company a lot, they're most likely doing a good job.
Once you have some prospects in mind give each landscaper a written description of what you'd like done. Have them look over your property, make suggestions and give you an initial estimate. You can then ask any Atlanta landscapers that are within your planned budget to provide you with a detailed written bid.
Does That Atlanta Landscaper have References and Insurance?
Be sure you ask for references and contact some past customers to find out if they are satisfied with the work. Was the job handled in a professional manner and completed in the agreed timeframe? Were the plants healthy and of good quality? Did any plants die or fail to thrive and did the Atlanta landscaper replace these?
Also ask any prospective Atlanta landscapers if you can view some completed projects first hand. Looking at some established landscaping can give you an idea of what your property might look like as well as help you determine if you want to work with a specific landscaper.
Ask to see the landscaper's liability and workman's compensation insurance and don't be afraid to follow up with a call to the insurance company to make sure the policy is valid. If a landscaper or one of his workers is hurt while on the job and no insurance is in place, you could be held liable for the injury and any related expenses.
