Choosing a Professional Landscaping Company

When on the hunt for a landscaper who can take care of your grass and increase your curb appeal through detailing and maintenance, you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choices out there. Who will deliver on their promises? Who has the lowest prices while providing the highest level of service? Who can you count on to show up week after week to do a stellar job? Who can you depend on to plow you out from the latest blizzard? These are all high concerns for homeowners in Andover.

Here are some tips on how to select the right professional landscaping company for you.

Ask about experience

There are many fly-by-night landscapers out there who take your money and do the bare minimum, or who don’t show up at all. When you hire an experienced crew, they are more likely to show up on time, do a solid job, and keep their prices low. You don’t get far in this business by treating your customers poorly. T&B Landscape and Irrigation has been in business in this area since 2003, giving you 14 years and counting of quality, affordable lawn care and seasonal landscaping services.

Find out about licensing

This one’s important. Any worker you hire to work on your property should be licensed and insured. If you make the mistake of hiring an unlicensed worker, sure, you may get dirt cheap rates but you’ll pay for it all later through sub-par work. Plus, when you hire a licensed contractor, they are typically bonded and insured, which protects both parties in the event something happens on your property. A licensed contractor has to have the experience necessary for a license, keep up with rules and regulations, and very likely has a higher knowledge of the area’s climate, soil stabilization and native greenery, as well as environmental standards. T&B landscapers are licensed and insured for your peace of mind.

Read reviews

Check online for positive or negative reviews on a particular company. You can check business review sites like Yelp, but also check out the company’s Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. This will tell you a lot about the loyalty of their customers, what they offer, how they interact with their clients, and what kind of company they are in general. Word of mouth recommendations are also valuable. Ask your family and friends who they trust with their landscaping needs for a true look at the reputation of a business.

Consider versatility

Any landscaper you choose should be versatile and skilled enough to provide a wide range of services. Ultimately, you want a one-stop-shop where you can get everything done throughout the year with one provider, from landscaping in spring and summer to leaf removal in fall and snow plowing in winter. T&B is proud to combine experience and creativity with skilled stone masons, licensed irrigation specialists, carpenters, and other trades for a truly one-of-a-kind landscape.
