Kelly Baumbach • Mar 08, 2016

When choosing a landscaping specialist for work on your home, it’s imperative to get a clear understanding on the company and their level of workmanship. Those without experience in the landscaping marketplace can find this process challenging, and so within this post we’ll present three questions that will help lead to the information you need when selecting Calgary landscaping companies.

1.What is Your Lead Time?

When beginning any landscaping project, it’s important to know how long it will take the company to gather the required materials and expertise and begin. This question is particularly important for property owners looking to sell their home in the near future. Will the company be able to begin the work in the next week or will you have to wait a month before the landscaping begins?

2.Who Will Be Involved in the Work?

Some landscaping companies contract the work to other specialists as part of a network. It’s important to know who will be on your property and completing your landscaping. This means you must ask more about the people the landscaping companies has hired. Are they qualified in all areas of the business? Will you be able to meet with them before they begin work on the property?

3.Does Your Company Have References?

Most landscaping companieswill have references for their work across Calgary. Asking for references will allow you to contact past customers and ensure that the company completed their work according to the property owner’s standards. Remember to ask for at least two references to establish the quality of the company’s services.
