If you're tired of trying to maintain your landscaping on your own, a landscaper is there to help. They can help you landscape your yard, decide where to plant trees, which shrubs to use, and which types of hardscaping options would benefit you. They can also maintain your property, trim your yard, pull weeds, and prune trees. Regardless of what you need from a landscape business, it's important to schedule an in-person estimate with these businesses prior to signing a contract. Read along as one of these companies explains why.

1. Gives Them the Opportunity to View Your Property

Obtaining estimates over the phone isn't recommended as it can be hard to provide an estimate without seeing your property. Being able to see your yard in person allows a landscaper to see how much and what type of work your yard needs. This is the best way for them to provide an accurate estimate, while also discussing with you what options are available for your space.

2. Allows You to Talk to Different Landscape Businesses

Speaking of the services you need, you should know that not every landscape business is the same. The services that they offer can vary. According to Thimble, 88% of landscaping companies offer lawn care and chemical applications. These are the most common services offered. When you obtain an estimate, you can talk to the landscape business and get a feel for who they are, as well as learn what services they offer. This helps to ensure you're working with a company that can provide you with what you need.

3. Provides You With the Ability to Compare Pricing

Price plays a vital role in the decision-making process for selecting a business. You should obtain estimates from at least two to three businesses. You can then compare the services that are listed on the estimate and the overall price, helping you find a service that fits within your budget.

A landscape business can help to improve the appearance of your outside spaces, helping boost your curb appeal and the value of your property. However, prior to hiring one, it's important to take the time and thoroughly vet different companies and obtain in-person estimates from them. If you're looking to hire a landscaper, let us help you.
