Choosing the right landscaper can make all the difference between a dream outdoor space and a frustrating experience. Whether you’re planning a complete backyard transformation or need regular maintenance, it’s important to ask the right questions before hiring a landscaping company.
At Snips Landscape, we believe in transparency, quality work, and customer satisfaction—and we want you to feel confident in your choice. Here’s what you should consider before signing on with any landscaping company.
1. Are They Qualified and Experienced?
What to Ask:
✔ How long have you been in business?
✔ Do you have experience with projects similar to mine?
✔ Are you properly licensed and insured?
Why It Matters: Landscaping is an investment, and you want a company with the expertise to handle your project professionally. Snips Landscape has years of experience creating stunning outdoor spaces, from residential gardens to large-scale commercial projects.
2. Do They Offer the Services You Need?
What to Ask:
✔ Do you handle both design and installation?
✔ Do you offer maintenance services after the project is complete?
✔ Can I customize my landscape package?
Why It Matters: Not all landscapers provide comprehensive services. Snips Landscape offers everything from full landscape design and installation to ongoing maintenance—so your outdoor space stays beautiful long after the project is finished.
3. Can They Work Within My Budget?
What to Ask:
✔ Can you provide a detailed estimate upfront?
✔ Do you offer different pricing options or phased projects?
✔ What’s a realistic budget for my vision?
Why It Matters: A good landscaper should be upfront about costs and offer solutions to fit your budget. At Snips, we provide clear estimates and flexible options to make professional landscaping accessible at different price points.
4. Do They Prioritize Sustainability?
What to Ask:
✔ Do you use eco-friendly materials and practices?
✔ Do you offer drought-resistant or native plant options?
✔ What kind of equipment do you use?
Why It Matters: Sustainable landscaping reduces water usage, supports local biodiversity, and minimizes environmental impact. At Snips Landscape, we use battery-operated equipment, eco-friendly products, and native plant selections to create beautiful, low-impact landscapes.
5. Can They Provide References or Portfolio Examples
What to Ask:
✔ Can I see examples of your past work?
✔ Do you have reviews or client testimonials?
✔ Can I visit a completed project?
Why It Matters: Seeing past work gives you confidence in a landscaper’s abilities. Snips Landscape has a portfolio full of stunning projects, and we’re happy to share references from satisfied clients.
6. How Do They Handle Project Timelines & Communication?
What to Ask:
✔ How long will my project take?
✔ What happens if there are weather delays?
✔ Who will be my main point of contact?
Why It Matters: A professional landscaper should provide clear timelines and regular updates. At Snips, we prioritize open communication, so you’re always in the loop about your project’s progress.
