Landscaping Checklist
Before choosing a landscaper, it would be beneficial in order to form a small checklist to accurately determine what your property would need. For example, if you intend to have plants on your property, then you should know what height you would like for them to be. Furthermore, why are the flora being planted; are they for ensuring privacy, or to attract birds or to reduce noise?
Once such plants are raised, it is important to properly care for them. Certain plants required regular fertilizing treatments and irrigation. Furthermore, mulch beds may need to be turned over on a regular basis as well. While certain plants do add an enchancement to the landscape, they also require regular maintenance. If you are unsure of what is exactly needed for your property, take a look at our Portfolio for some ideas or Contact Us for a more thorough discussion
Property Details
Once you are ready to contact your landscaper for some ideas or a quote, it would be beneficial to have some notes about your property handy. At the very least, you should have the approximate area that would need to be landscaped and your address. Your address would give the landscaper the approximate orientation of your yard in relation to the sun and the amount of sunlight that would be expected. This would give the necessary information pertaining to the number and type of plants that can be raised on your property.
Other information that can be offered would be the presence of any sloping areas on the property and the location of any underground utilities. This information would allow the landscaper to identify drainage patterns that may emerge during plant irrigation and the allocation of plants in a specific fashion.
If you would to have some decking installed on your property, then you can provide us with an approximate area of of decking you would like installed as well as the purpose of the decking. For example, some clients request decking in a particular fashion since they envision having summer barbecues or having a pool installed in the future.
