Before you hire

How to choose landscapers

  1. 1

    Separate design from install

    For a whole yard, ask whether a design is included or billed separately. A plan on paper makes quotes from different landscapers easy to compare.

  2. 2

    Ask about the plant guarantee

    Many landscapers guarantee plants for a season if you follow their watering instructions. Get the terms in writing.

  3. 3

    Check who applies chemicals

    Anyone spraying weed killer or pesticide for pay usually needs a state applicator license. Ask for it if the job includes treatment.

  4. 4

    Plan for watering

    New plants need steady water for their first season. Ask whether irrigation or drip lines are part of the job or a separate quote.

FAQ

Questions about landscapers

What's the difference between landscaping and lawn care?

Lawn care is upkeep: mowing, edging, fertilizing. Landscaping is building or changing the yard itself: beds, plants, rock, walls and lighting.

When is the best time to landscape?

Spring and fall are easiest on new plants. Landscapers are busiest in spring, so booking in fall or winter can mean faster scheduling.

Do I need a landscape designer?

For a small bed refresh, no. For a whole yard, a design helps you plan in phases and keeps quotes comparable.

How do I compare landscaping quotes?

Ask each landscaper to list plants by size and count, materials by type and amount, and what cleanup and guarantees are included.

Does it cost anything to use Job Hound?

No. Job Hound is free for homeowners, and pros never pay for leads, so there is no lead fee baked into the price you are quoted.
