When you are about to embark on a landscaping project, it is something that will be designed for long lasting beauty as well as ease of management and care. Pueblo landscaping is not something to take lightly; depending on the scope of the project, the flora that is chosen and any features that are constructed, it can be an expensive undertaking.
Before you choose the contractor, there are a number of questions that should be asked.
* Insurance: During the process of the landscaping there may be dangerous situations arise; there may also be soil collapse or erosion that can have an effect on your home or the homes of your neighbors. To cover these eventualities, the Pueblo landscaping contractor must have workers compensation and liability insurance. If the contractor is not insured, do not think that any claim will be covered by your homeowners policy, it won’t.
* Referrals: When you first discuss the scope of the project, the landscaper will probably show you a portfolio of his previous work. Ask for the contact information of a couple past customers, there is more to hiring a team than just the finished results, their attitude, courtesy and respect for property is equally as important.
* Maintenance: A comprehensive landscaping project can entail many hundreds of dollars, perhaps even more, of plants, shrubs and trees. Confirm that the contractor you choose for your landscaping project has the skills to maintain this investment and that his contribution does not stop when the project is completed.
* Are the plants locally grown? There are many beautiful and exotic plants and shrubs, many of which will not grow out of their native environment. Make sure all your plants and shrubs are local; they will thrive in the local soil and weather conditions.
* Will the contractor provide a comprehensive plan? Many landscapers will hire an aerial photographer, do a flyover of your property and then use the results as a conversational tool. Although it may be nice to have an aerial shot of your home, it cannot tell you much. A comprehensive plan of the project must be supplied before the Pueblo landscaping contractor starts the work. A plan eliminates any confusion and it allows for a modification of the plan should there the budget be exceeded.
There are some companies that will cut corners and do things which may look good but not last, other firms are conscientious and take great pride in the outcome of the Pueblo landscaping project. You must feel comfortable with the contractor; knowing they are credible and honest with years of experience.
