Are you looking for landscaping services near you? Someone who can give you a landscape design worthy of a national magazine spread, but also something you can work into your budget?
Affordable landscaping, but also professional landscaping, is actually hard to find. You can do a Google search, of course, and come up with quite a few landscape design companies in your area, but knowing which one is high-quality is a bit of a sticky-wicket, to borrow from the Brits.
We are All Seasons Outdoor Solutions, serving the Greater Fort Worth area, and landscaping is our bread and butter. In this article we will talk about backyard landscaping, front yard landscaping, and how to know which landscaping company is qualified to tackle your particular situation. Call us if you have questions after you read this article.
Who is qualified to do your job?
It begins with qualification? Not all landscaping companies have the training and certification which label them as landscaping experts. Landscapers take professional courses for ongoing training and schooling. They belong to professional organizations. They have a LICENSE! You would be amazed how many fly-by-night companies do not even have a license. The good ones also have a superior rating with the Better Business Bureau. You need to check out all of these things. Remember the old adage: you get what you pay for.
What are you going to pay?
This is a tough one. In today’s struggling economy, there are quite a few landscaping companies popping up, people who are desperately trying to make a buck during tough times. They will give a landscaping quote which is remarkably lower than the quotes you receive from other firms. Beware! We are not against saving money, but again, back to the old adage: you get what you pay for more often than not.
Do they listen to you, the customer?
Most customers have, at the very least, a very rudimentary vision of what they want their front yard and backyard to look like. They may not have the specifics down, but they have some idea of what the final product will look like. When you sit down with a landscaping company, they need to be good listeners. Their job, first and foremost, is to listen to you and incorporate your ideas into their landscape design. If they are incapable of listening, say goodbye.
Are they willing to work within your budget?
A good landscaping company will work with you and your finances. If your “dream” cannot fit into your budget, it can still be done in stages, slowly, one portion at a time. When you sit down with a company, explain what you can afford, what you want done, and then ask them if they can work within that framework. The good ones can, and will!
