Use Landscape Maintenance Services Redwood City Ca

By Tanisha Berg


Some people enjoying taking care of their lawn and plants, others do not have the time, suffer aches and pains that make it difficult, or they prefer simply to not do it. So if you do not want to deal with the mowing, weeding, fertilizing, mulching and what ever else has to be done, call landscape maintenance services redwood city ca, and let them do it.

When deciding who to talk to, ask your neighbors or anyone you know that has a great looking yard. Get referrals, then meet with at least two providers at your home to answer questions and submit a quote. Know, before calling, what you want them to do. Also it is wise to have a realistic price range to work with.

Know ahead of time, what work you want done on a regular basis. Also include in your list, things you may want done seasonally. Know if you want them to prune your trees or just rake the leaves. Also, find out if they remove debris or if that is going to be left up to you. Decide if you just want a lawn mow and mulched or if you want fertilizing and weeding. Think of everything you may ever want them to do. That way you can ask for realistic estimates or quotes for services.

The second thing to ask, is who will they have working on your property and around your home. Find out if it will always be the same people or will it change and why. How much experience the crew has and if there is a language barrier, find out if at least one member of the crew will speak and understand the same language as you do.

Larger companies have a menu of set fees they charge per item or job. You probably will not benefit from this type of fee schedule do to variables in the size of yards and difficulty with maneuvering in some. Instead, show them where and what you want done, then ask for a price.

If you expect them to fertilize, then they will probably want to provide their own material instead of depending on some brand you may purchase. If that is the case, let them, and know that you will be paying, at the least, retail for the product. The same goes for any other items you expect them to provide as part of their service. Keep in mind, they will be purchasing the material, storing, and transporting for you. Let them make a profit.

If your winter weather is wet or snowing, find out at the start, if they will snow blow your walkway or drive and if they will shovel your roof off. Another bonus would be if they offer to furnish firewood and stack it. Basically, know what their year round services are. Be clear at the start on what you can expect.

Once you have those basics taken care of do not commit to a long term agreement. You want to know if they keep to a regular schedule and perform quality work. Then decide if you want to continue using their services.
