A landscape contractor designs and builds and performs inspections and maintenance of outdoor property. If you would like to boost the appeal of your land, you may have decided to add a water feature or introduce new plants to your property.
The Design And Build Processes
The design and build processes are the two main duties that a landscape contractor is hired for. A landscape contractor may serve as the sole designer for a project; they will collaborate with the homeowner prior to actually installing any features on the land. Some contractors may work with a project manager and design team. These people can help a contractor find materials that will work well for a project, and can also aid with designating space for various landscaping features that will be added to a specific plot of land.
The Inspection
If a water feature or a series of plants are going to be added to your land, you may need some assistance with determining where to place the items or which products to purchase. An inspection of your land will provide a contractor with vital details about the health of your property. Soil and grass will be inspected to determine the mineral content of the soil and the status of your lawn.
A landscape contractor may advise that fertilizer is added to the property or that an irrigation system is installed. These types of products can be acquired and set up by the contractor and their team of landscapers. During the inspection, you will be able to provide input about your preferences for the upgrades.
The Project
Your landscaping project will require plans to be prepared in advance. You will be able to select the items that you want added to your property. Water features, hardscaping materials, and landscaping materials may be furnished directly through a contractor. If you have a specific item in mind that the contractor does not have in stock, you can either purchase this item independently or can request that your contractor orders it through a third party.
A contractor may advise you, concerning plants that will detract insects or products that will be easy to maintain. Growth factors will also be taken into account and discussed with you. If you like a specific plant variety, a landscape contractor can tell you about the species and provide information about its growth pattern and potential to thrive on your property.
