Contractor Screening

Ten years on the contractor side taught me exactly what to look for in a quote, and what to watch out for.

Comparing landscaping quotes is hard when each one is written differently. One includes soil preparation, another doesn't; one prices plants at cost, another hides a large markup in a lump sum.

How I help

  • Write a short brief so every contractor quotes for the same thing
  • Check contractors hold the licences and insurance the job needs
  • Look at past work and references
  • Compare quotes line by line and flag gaps or inflated items
  • Recommend questions to ask before you sign

You make the final choice. I just make sure it's an informed one.
