A great landscape makes a property look better, more useful, and worth more. If you are considering installing or adjusting your property’s landscape, you’ll need the help of a good local landscaping service. According to This Old House, the nation had 649,131 businesses in the landscaping industry in 2023. The number of landscaping businesses means you have many choices, but here’s what to look for to help you choose a good one.

Has Years of Local Experience

You should look for a landscaping service that has served your local community for many years. The longer it has been in business, the more satisfied customers it is likely to have in your area. It also should have experienced managers and workers who do a great job and work efficiently. If you choose a relatively new company, you are taking more of a chance on the quality of work. It’s best to hire an experienced one that has been around for a decade or more.

Offers Landscape Design Services

You might have a vision for your landscape and need help turning it into a reality. A landscaping contractor who provides design services can help put your vision onto paper and install it. Instead of finding a landscape architect and paying a separate fee, you can hire a contractor to do it when design services are available.

Grades and Reshapes the Land

Most landscape designs require some earth-moving and reshaping of the land. A landscaping contractor who can rent heavy equipment and operate it to grade and shape your property is preferable to one that'll have a subcontractor grade and shape the land to make room for the landscaping design and its various features. When the landscaping contractor does the work, you have an easier time communicating.

Installs and Maintains Landscaping Designs

Your landscaping contractor will need to install the landscaping design, but you’ll need someone to maintain it, too. When the same service that designs and installs your landscape also maintains it, you get the best value. The contractor will have intimate knowledge of your property and its landscaping elements and can maintain your lawn, beds, and hardscaping features.
