When Looking For Landscaping Tenafly Has Several Options

By Lela Perkins


If you are looking for someone to mow your lawn, plant some trees, or just general landscaping Tenafly has several choices. Lots of homeowners and renters utilize the services of a landscaper at some point in time. This is a valuable service for those who are short on time, perhaps unable or unwilling to do the work, or want someone will an eye for detail to take care of a large project.

Landscaping companies can vary from those who only offer lawn care services to those who will complete large projects, from the design to installation. Depending upon the company, different services are available. The price may also vary based on the level of knowledge of the owner and employees.

The basic services that a landscaping business may offer are: mowing, trimming, fertilization, aeration, power raking (also known as de-thatching) and yard clean up in general. Companies who only perform these basic services might not necessarily be trained in earth moving and other invasive landscaping procedures, so be sure to ask questions. However, companies who focus on mowing have very reasonable rates for these basic services.

A step up from basic trimming and mowing, other companies may plant flowers, trees, and shrubs and can also assist in choosing what to plant. These services are more invasive and do require digging and some earth moving. It is important to contact utility companies before any digging is performed to locate buried lines, which may cause considerable inconvenience and expense if damaged or severed. Most utility companies will perform this service for free.

Landscapers are well trained in design and will be able to plan out and complete larger projects, such as putting in a patio, building a retaining wall, resodding a yard, or putting in a water feature, such as a fountain or pond. They can envision a new landscape for your home or business, and also design golf courses, parks, and other large undertakings. A trained professional will also know how to do the job right, such as leaving ample space between young trees and keeping immature plants away from foundations. They know that over time these plants will become larger and take up the extra space.

Landscapers should also be knowledgeable in the areas of soil composition, pest control, and native plants and grasses. While not everyone will want native plants, they are often easier to take care of than non-native plants, and this is quite common in the West and Southwest where water is scarce. A good service will be able to give advice on what might be best for the area, and what will fit within the constraints of the budget.

The landscape designer will construct a project layout, and also put together a timeline and a budget. Their company should also be insured against accidents and damage. Both parties should sign a contract which protects both the customer and the company. When hiring for a large project, you should speak with references who have used the company in the past and check out their business history. This will protect you from possible scams or unsavory companies.

If you are looking for landscaping Tenafly has several different companies that can do this type of work. Quite often these businesses will have websites where you can check out their rates and testimonials and pictures from previous customers. A great landscaper will make any home or business look great and make upkeep easier, saving time and money for the consumer.
