Top 10 steps to doing your landscaping project

 

1. Get ideas from various sources (e.g. other gardens, publications, HGTV)

2. Plan a realistic budget (rule of thumb for a complete landscaping = approx. 10% value of your home). Landscaping should increase the perceived market value & marketability of your residence.(*)

3. Have plans drawn with your ideas by a professional landscape architect or designer

4. Compare landscape contractors (referrals, web, HGTV, etc.)

5. Check through California State Licensing Board www.cslb.ca.gov to ensure your contractor’s California State License number (not just their business license) is in good standing.

6. Check to see if they have both liability insurance and worker’s compensation.

7. Ask for references.

8. Do a comparative estimate to ensure all companies qualify ( Tell us about your project now!)
