Comparing Landscapers

When you are looking for landscaping for your garden, it is a good idea to compare the services or several local landscapers before deciding on which company to use.

There are many different types of landscaper, and deciding on which landscaper to use may depend on what type of landscaping work you require. For instance, if you require split level landscaping for your garden, then only landscapers that are experienced with excavation. If you require a water-wise garden, then only landscapers experienced in this type of landscaping may suffice.

Landscaping is a term which encompasses a number of varying services. Your landscaper may offer any of the following services:

• Landscape Design  / Garden Design
• On site landscape advice / landscape consultation
• Landscape concept plans
• Landscape / garden construction
• Water-wise / low maintenance garden design
• Soil and soil improvement
• Drainage systems
• Garden Irrigation systems
• Garden Maintenance
• Plant Advice / Plant Selection
• Excavation
• Decorative paving
• Paving driveway / pools
• Stone masonry / walling
• Retaining walls
• Fencing
• Garden Water features
• Landscape lighting
• Decking
• Pergolas
• Rainwater harvesting / greywater recycling systems

 
Whether the service you are looking for is provided may depend on the landscaper you are asking. If you have particular services that you require for your landscaping work, it is best to list these when first contacting the landscaper to request a quote. They will then inform you whether they provide these services, any alternate services they offer instead, and the costs involved.

Do you require Landscape Planning?
If you want the landscaper to provide the planning for the landscaping work to be done, this is also a good thing to mention when requesting a quote. Most landscapers can help with planning the landscaping work that needs to be done and creating a project plan that complies with the customers needs, which they will manage to completion.

Landscaping Portfolio
Most landscapers will have a portfolio of previous work they have done, showing their skills. This may highlight different design methods and special features. It is a nice idea to have a look at the landscapers portfolio when considering which features you would like for your own garden. In addition to this, you also see the results of previously satisfied customers. This is a good way to see the possibilities available with each landscaper.

Extra Features:
While your landscaper may be able to help you with most of your landscaping needs, it may be that a couple of features may be outside of their listed services. If this is the case, then why not search to see if this service may be available elsewhere?  You can hire a landscaper to provide the majority of changes for your garden, and another professional to supply you with the extra features you desire.
