A well-landscaped property looks great and makes it easier to spend time outside in good weather. Quality landscape design and installation also improve a property's value. According to IBISWorld, the United States has 621,733 lawn maintenance and landscaping businesses. If you are looking for a local business to design, install, or maintain the landscape at your home or commercial property, here's how to find the best one for your needs.

Ask for Recommendations

If you see a property that looks great and you know the owner or don't mind ringing the doorbell, you should ask the owner about the landscapers who designed, installed, and maintained it. Word of mouth is always a great way to find out which service providers are best for installing a quality landscape at your home or place of business. You can learn more from someone with firsthand experience with a particular service provider and how well it does the work that keeps that person's landscape in great shape.

Look for Online Reviews and Testimonials

You should check online reviews of local landscapers to see what others say about their respective businesses. Google reviews can be very helpful for narrowing your options by learning what others have to say and the level of satisfaction they have with the services they obtain. You also might learn which landscapers provide services that are more like what you want for your property.

Ask About a Variety of Landscaping Services

The more landscaping services that a company offers, the more likely it can handle whatever tasks you have in mind. A landscaper who can provide you with design and installation services is better than having to pay someone to design a landscape and another company to install it. You also can work with the designer more closely to ensure the design is what you want before the installation starts. The best landscapers can install hardscaping, lawn decor, and any special feature that you might want. They also can maintain your property afterward.

Inquire About Residential and Commercial Properties

Whether the property you want landscaped is your home or a place of business, one company should be able to do both very well. Some might install lawns and plants and even maintain them. Others might handle residential and commercial properties and provide a variety of quality services to produce the best landscape.
