subject: Questions You Should Ask Your Landscaping Company [print this page] The decision to hire a landscaping design company for your backyard is a tough one. There are homeowners who love to tend their own gardens and would like nothing more than to create their very own garden from scratch. But for those who are inexperienced in that kind of thing, hiring a Brisbane landscaping design company might be the better option. It's also an option for people who are thinking about selling their home and want to do anything they can to raise the value of their property.
After you've asked your friends for referrals and done your research on a few different companies, you'll need to schedule a consultation with each of the landscaping companies in your list. Most companies offer consultation services so you can ask all the questions you want and get a better idea of what the company offers before you make a decision on who to hire. It's worth mentioning, however, that you should go with a company who understands your style and someone whom you get along with. This person, and their crew, will be working on your garden for a while, so it's best that you like them. Other than that, here are a few questions you should ask your Brisbane Landscaping Design Company before you make your decision:
Do they practice organic and eco-friendly gardening solutions? - Although you would think it goes without saying, there are some landscaping companies who will design and construct your backyard without thinking about how it will affect the surrounding environment. So it's best to talk to the landscaper or designer about what their practices are.
Do they use organic products and pesticides? When? - Chemical products and pesticides can be harmful to the environment, not to mention you and your kids. The company that you hire should be using organic products so there's little impact on the environment and you and your children can enjoy your garden without having to worry about getting poisoned.
What projects have they done in the past and do they have a portfolio? Are they willing to give you contact information for some of their past customers? - It's best that you hire a company who has handled a project similar to yours and in your general area. That way you're sure that the landscaping company is already familiar with the growing conditions in your area. It's also a good idea to pick a company whose past work you actually like, because, most likely, that's around the same vein as what they will do to your garden. And being able to talk to past customers can give you a good idea about the quality of the company's service.
