The same level of care and service is not provided by all landscape services which is why the landscape service you choose should be based on your requirements. You may simply want someone to mow the lawn, fertilize it and tidy up around the beds. Some homeowners want neatly trimmed topiary trees and weeding, others want annual planting and tree trimming services. The service you choose should be able to offer the services you require, and have the expertise and equipment to cater to your gardening needs.
If the lawn moved every week and some leaves raked up in the fall is all you want, then this will be appreciated by a neighborhood teen to earn some extra pocket money. If you want a more comprehensive service, you should look for a reputable landscape service company.
To find a good company, one way would be to ask fro referrals from neighbors who use a landscape service. When you interview the company – and you should meet them before hiring them – ask them to bring their crew as well. This way you can see their equipment and check whether it is appropriate for the job, and whether it looks well maintained. You can also get a good sense of the type of employees the company has, and whether their expertise is sufficient to provide the service you require.
Some landscape service companies will offer a trial service for a week before you sign a contract with them. Before you hire them, this can give you a good idea of the service that they provide. When you are shopping around for the cheapest service, be careful otherwise you may also end up with the cheapest work. Thoroughly read any contracts before signing them and make sure that you get quotes in writing.
Check the policy for redoing work that is not to your satisfaction, and what their fee policy is on call-backs. You also need to make sure that they are fully insured especially if they will be doing any tree trimming in your yard. Some companies will make up rain days whenever they can fit you into their schedule, others will reschedule at your convenience, or not charge for the missed days. If you find a good landscape service you can help to foster a good relationship by making sure they know exactly what you expect from them. Offer to pay extra if you have an extra task that they would not normally perform for you and by offering, you have shown that you have been a good customer even though they would often do it for nothing in the interests of good customer relations.
