Whether you wish to add lush shrubbery or a flower bed to your yard, working with a landscape designer is a fantastic way to achieve your dream outdoor living space. But how do you find the right designer for the job? Below are a list of qualities to look for when screening potential landscaping contractors.

What to Look for in a Landscaping Contractor

1. License

Any landscape contractor you are considering for the job should have a license in your state. This indicates that they have completed the minimum education requirements and hands-on work hours required to perform the job. To receive their license, they must also pass a registration exam.

2. Portfolio

You should never hire a landscaping contractor without verifying their creativity and personal design style align with your vision for your yard. Browse through their portfolio of past completed projects, and don’t hesitate to ask questions about the choices they made. A good contractor will be willing to discuss their process with you.  

3. References

In addition to a portfolio, ask the contractor for a list of references that you can contact. This allows you to ask previous clients about what it was like to work with the landscape designer. Did they meet timeline expectations? Were they open and patient with communication? You can also do some online research for an unbiased look at past reviews.
