Are you ready for a new landscaping contractor for your commercial property? There are signs you might be.

Have your current or past landscape contractors annoyed you with undependable service? Do you feel ignored — flower beds full of weeds and your garden shrubs overgrown? Have you been putting off renewing your contract with your current landscaper?

Listen to your gut instinct. Sounds like it’s time.

Hiring a landscape crew for your commercial property is an important decision. Don’t take it lightly.

You should begin the search armed with enough questions to be sure you’re signing on with the right fit for you and your yard. The more you know, the better.

Here’s a list of 15 questions to ask before hiring a landscaper in New York:

Experience is important. You don’t want to be this company’s first customer. An established firm has seen everything and knows how to deal with it. They’ve had time to build a solid reputation.

Look for a track record of at least 10 years. Neave Group has served NY, NJ & CT for over 50 years!

Be sure the contractor has worker’s compensation insurance, general liability insurance and appropriate state licensing.

Ask to see proof. You want to be sure they’re covered in case of any mishaps.

Commercial landscape companies come with heavy equipment and power tools. You should feel comfortable that the employees know how to use them safely to prevent injury.

You want to hear that crew members pass certification tests and receive education so they’re expert at their jobs.

PLANET, the green industry’s national association, offers accreditation’s. Look for these.

Ask them to be specific. You want details about exactly what landscaping services the company provides and how often they do them.

This isn’t a bad thing. If a commercial landscape company offers the wide array of services you’re looking for, they need a lot of different specialists, skilled in everything from turf care to plant selection to trimming trees and irrigation.

But do ask about the various subcontractors’ qualifications and credentials. You want to be sure you’re getting a clear idea so you’re getting the best service from the entire landscaping crew.

You want the best care possible in all areas of your commercial landscape. Ask about turf contractors, arborists, and hardscape installation experts. You don’t want a one-size-fits-all crew who does the job OK, but nothing expertly.

You want to hear that crew members pass certification tests and receive education so they’re expert at their jobs.

PLANET, the green industry’s national association, offers accreditation’s. Look for these.

How often will they mow? Is leaf removal included? What about shrub trimming? Weed control?

Know exactly what you’re getting for your budget cost and how often crews will show up.

Find out who you should reach out to with needs or questions. Is it best to call? Text? Email?

Will there be a single point person you can depend on to know your property and be available to you?

Referrals are great, but seeing is even betterFind out what other properties the contractor services and ask if you can visit.

How does the outdoor space look? Are they happy with the service? Would they renew their contract?

There are lots of ways landscape maintenance services can practice sustainability.

Do they use native plants that typically require less water than non-natives? Can they retrofit your irrigation system to reduce water usage? Do they offer chemical-free lawn care?

If reducing your property’s carbon footprint is a concern for you, ensure your landscaping project contractor is on the same page as you.

A good landscaping company in the professional landscaper industry should be proud of their services and know why they’re better than the competition. Demand specifics.

Will the contractor stand behind the plant material they provide? The garden fertilizer they use? The fence they install?

Ask what happens if a service fails in the first year.

You want to know exactly who will be on your property and if any of the crew have criminal records. If someone has an offense on their record, do they still hire them for a landscaping job?

You might want extra landscaping services beyond what your contract includes. Can this company provide them?

What if your lawn needs aeration? If you want property enhancements, such as water features, a patio or lighting, can they provide that?

Do they offer snow and ice management? Seasonal and holiday decorSeasonal color programs?

If your commercial landscape contractor can meet all your property’s year-round needs, that makes your life a lot easier.
