Choosing the right contractor for your project:
Choosing a qualified installer is as important as the choosing of the materials themselves. The quality and durability of your landscapes project depends on a job well done and that means a job undertaken by specialists. To make an informed decision as to the choice of installer, it is an excellent idea to ask a few simple questions, and get some satisfactory answers. Here are some questions we recommend you ask:
1. How many years of experience does the installer have?
2. Has the contractor educated himself by attending seminars?
3. Can the installer supply references for the last three jobs completed? (Do not hesitate to contact these people and ask to see the work that was completed.)
4. Is the installation plan clear and accurate? Do you understand every part of it? Have the contractor diagram, your project on paper to ensure the project will meet your expectations. (You should fee free to ask to see photos and sample of products.)
5. Is the installer prepared to draw up a written contract before work starts? (Make sure it includes a description of the work and a schedule.
6. What kind of guarantee is the installer prepared to offer as to the quality of the work?
7. Above all, do not hesitate to ask any other question that might come up when you talk to a prospective installer. Take the time to check the accuracy of the information provided to you. Do not leave any questions unanswered.
