If you have a landscape design in hand (hopefully one from Carex Design Group!) but are drowning in the choices of which knoxville landscape contractor will build your beautiful new space, you’re not alone.
Choosing a landscape contractor can be a daunting task. There is a seemingly endless list of companies from which to choose. Here are a few things to consider:
1. Licensed
Make sure the company carries proper credentials. For plant material installation, they should be a Certified Landscape Installation Company. For retaining wall or paver installation, be sure they are trained properly through the ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Paver Institute) or SRW (Segmented Retaining Wall) certified.
2. Insured
Any reputable professional landscaping company carries Liability Insurance and Workman’s Compensation. These types of insurance protect you should anything go wrong while the company’s staff is on your property.
3. Experienced
I always recommend getting work samples and references. A professional company will be willing to provide such information as well as offer to show you their work in person. When a company is able to take you to the home of a previous customer, you can rest assured that customer was satisfied with the final product.
4. Professional
Use common sense. If the company has a nice website, shows up in Google searches, provides professional-looking business cards and material, wears a uniform shirt and hat and shows up to your home in a professional vehicle, you’re well on your way to working with a great company.
