FAQ

If you are looking for Landscape Services, your choice of services may depend on your specific needs, including: Brick Repair, Hardscape Construction and Landscape Design. Depending on the type of landscaping you want, these types of services could transform your yard into a great outdoor space and provide you with both decorative and functional areas in your yard. If you are looking for something unique, companies that specialize in Water Feature or Drought-Tolerant Landscaping are available. The use of drip irrigation or water features will not only help to create a more efficient water usage zone, but they will also provide an environment that allows your plants to grow with ease and without requiring constant attention. Some companies, such as Better Plants and Gardens, have made a commitment to developing drought-resistant landscaping in this current climate. By knowing what services are available, you can select the appropriate services to create your ideal outdoor space.

Landscaping services generally have a wide-spanning service area. For example, when you look at their service areas, you will see that most landscaping companies cover cities such as Coralville, Hills, Iowa City, North Liberty, Oakdale, Tiffin, University Heights, West Branch and Swisher. Each of these locations provides homeowners the opportunity to work with a contractor that provides professional quality landscaping services close to home. Landscaping service providers will typically have extensive experience providing services to a variety of locations. The regions where they operate as landscape contractors may differ due to the different climates, soil types, plant types and landscape construction conditions in the region. As a result, the contractor will need to offer different types of plants and design solutions for each region. In this case, Better Plants and Gardens has knowledge of the conditions in the Iowa City community and can provide specific services that are appropriate to the needs of the community. If you are unsure if your home is within the service area of a particular landscaping contractor, it is best to contact them directly to see if your home will be serviced and to discuss your landscaping goals.

An understanding of the cost of landscaping services allows you to better plan your landscaping budget. The price range for landscaping services varies greatly, from $550 to $10,000+, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. The type of services you need, the size of your property and the kinds of materials you want to use will all contribute to the overall cost. For example, basic hedge trimming will typically fall into the lower price ranges while larger and more complex projects such as building retaining walls or custom water features could increase your overall costs by hundreds of dollars. To gain a better understanding of the anticipated costs for your landscaping project, it is best to obtain price estimates from multiple suppliers or contractors before making a final decision. Better Plants and Gardens has a detailed breakdown of costs associated with various landscaping services, giving their customers the necessary information to make the best possible choices without being surprised. When discussing landscaping services with your contractor, always communicate your budget so that they can create an appropriate solution for you.

If you are looking to hire a landscaping contractor, it is important that you take the time to hire a contractor that has all of the qualifications and experience necessary in order to provide quality work. It is essential to locate a contractor that carries both licensure and insurance, as this will help protect you as the homeowner in the event of any accidents. Additionally, some type of certification in landscaping or horticulture can help demonstrate a landscaping contractor's expertise in that area. However, perhaps the most important factor in determining a good contractor is his or her level of experience; generally speaking, contracting companies that have been in business for many years are in a better position to handle the many different types of landscaping problems and challenges. Taking time to read through customer reviews and testimonials can give you a good idea of how good a contractor's work is and how reliable they are. For example, Better Plants and Gardens considers their team to be skilled and well-versed in the latest landscaping methods and trends; therefore, when selecting a qualified contractor, you can feel more confident that your landscaping project will be completed in a professional manner and will meet your expectations.

A landscaping project typically consists of multiple steps that will assist in achieving the intended goal. In most cases, an initial meeting takes place that allows you to communicate your idea of what you want the end result to be as well as your ideas and requirements. The contractor will evaluate your property, and measure the area so they can become more familiar with the details of your project. The next step will be for the contractor to prepare a preliminary design proposal (usually including drawings or computerized images) based on your vision. Once the design is approved, a quote detailing the cost and estimated time frame to complete the job will be given to you. If everything in the proposal meets your needs, work will begin on your property including preparation of the site, installation of any hardscape items (landscaping rocks, wood, concrete), placing of plants, and setting up an irrigation system for watering purposes. Be sure to stay in close contact with your contractor during the entire process for any questions or revisions. Better Plants and Gardens promotes a teamwork approach, keeping you involved and up to date with every aspect of the project for an enjoyable experience.
