Tips for hiring a landscape contractor

For example, some landscape contractors (especially smaller companies) only plant trees, shrubs and flowers and hire subcontractors to lay brick, pour concrete or install irrigation systems.

Make sure any estimates for work to be performed are in writing so there is no dispute after the fact.

If there is a warranty, review be sure to read the fine print and understand the terms of the contract before signing it. The contract is a document that should stand up in a court of law if you need it to.
