What to Look for in an Organic Gardening Service Company

It’s no secret that maintaining a lush, healthy garden requires more than just planting seeds and walking away. It requires time and effort to reap a bountiful harvest and keep your garden free of pests. Perhaps your busy schedule won’t allow you to put in the time your garden needs. How can you find the right garden service company?

Experience

The more experience a gardening service has, the more likely they’re experienced in your exact needs. A professional gardener should be willing to show you a portfolio to prove their successes in previous projects. Checking in on references will keep your mind at ease when you hear about other satisfied clients.

Good reviews are an excellent gauge if a gardening service will meet your expectations. People are more likely to hire a service recommended by someone they trust as well. Ask your friends, family, and colleagues which gardening service they’ve used. Don’t forget to ask questions about their personal experience. Then you can google the company to check out additional online reviews.

Qualified

A proper gardening service isn’t only experienced but also appropriately qualified. A service that is skilled in a range of services will save you from needing to hire several different services for an assortment of tasks. An expert should be able to tell you everything you need to know about your dream garden and how to maintain it. Not only should they be able to tell you what services you need, but they should also be able to tell you how long it will take to care for each service.

Certificates and licenses vary from location to location. Check to see what certificate or license is required in your location and double-check that your gardening service of choice meets those requirements. Inquire about their use of appropriate safety gear, how they dispose of yard waste, and how they follow local laws.

Cost

Of course, cost plays a major role when searching for any service. A trustworthy gardener ought to be able to provide you with a detailed quote that includes all the services to be expected. The urge to save money may mislead some to select the wrong gardening service. Most of the time a low quote is a signal of low-quality services. It’s better to pay more for quality than one who cuts corners and damages your beautiful landscape.

The hunt for the perfect garden service can be overwhelming but your friends at Homefront are ready to answer any questions you have. Our expertise ensures you can trust you’ll have a garden suited to your liking.
