Four Things to Look for in an Extraordinary Landscape Company

There are a lot of companies in our region that offer landscaping services.

But you don’t want something ordinary. What you want is something truly extraordinary. You want to be able to step outside of your home and be immersed in your dream backyard—with a gorgeous outdoor kitchen and patio where you can dine, a roaring fire pit to gather with your family and friends, and maybe even a swimming pool to cool off on hot summer days.

This dream environment isn’t something that every landscaper on the block can create. It’s important that you find the right company who is going to be able to deliver on your wants and needs. At the end of the day it comes down to finding an extraordinary landscaping company—as opposed to an ordinary one.

Of course, you might be wondering how you can tell the difference between an extraordinary company—that’s going to give you an exceptional finished product—or an ordinary one.

 

Let us be your guide in four important things to look for in an extraordinary company.

How many times have you stepped onto someone’s patio only to feel like it looks like every other patio you’ve seen? A lot of typical landscape companies come up with a design that they like, and they replicate it again and again. There might be some slight changes to material—such as the color of the pavers used—but for the most part, the patio looks pretty cookie-cutter. That’s not the case with an extraordinary company. They’re going to think outside of the box and custom design a space for you—not just build a space like every other one on the block.

1. Look for a Design Phase
In order to create a truly spectacular outdoor living area, you should expect to go through a design phase with a landscape architect who is going to discuss your vision and goals with you—and then bring them to life in a design plan that also fits into your budget. This is an “added step” that an extraordinary company would take to ensure you get the project you really desire. But an ordinary company does not put much (or any) into a design. A quick sketch-up drawing that an ordinary landscape company might throw together is not the same thing as a professional design and is a big difference between your run-of-the-mill landscape company and one that goes the extra mile.

 

2. Find a Company with a Gorgeous Portfolio
Can your landscape company show you photos of gorgeous projects they’ve already completed that look similar to the project you’re dreaming about? Experience is one of the most important things to look for in an extraordinary landscape company and the way to know if your company has experience or not is to look at other projects they’ve done. Look for a company that has enough projects under their belt—and a portfolio of high-caliber work—to know that they can be entrusted with bringing your dream to life.

 

 

3. Seek Out a Company that Sweats the Small Stuff
In actuality, there aren’t really any “small details” when it comes to bringing an outdoor living project to life. That’s because even the seemingly small details really do matter. For example, the orientation of your pool deck might seem like a small detail, but it’s not. The orientation of your pool deck could be the difference between getting sunlight during the time of day you’ll be using it, or being stuck in the shade because it wasn’t planned for properly. All of the little details that make up a project wind up having a big impact on your overall enjoyment of the space. You want to find a company that pays attention to those details and thinks of stuff that you wouldn’t have. After all, they’re meant to be the experts. But a lot of average landscape companies don’t think about all those little details and their projects can fall short as a result.

 

4. Look for a Company That Thinks Outside of the Box
How many times have you stepped onto someone’s patio only to feel like it looks like every other patio you’ve seen? A lot of typical landscape companies come up with a design that they like, and they replicate it again and again. There might be some slight changes to material—such as the color of the pavers used—but for the most part, the patio looks pretty cookie-cutter. That’s not the case with an extraordinary company. They’re going to think outside of the box and custom design a space for you—not just build a space like every other one on the block.
