Information &
Facts on selecting a
Landscape
Professional 
| 1. When
hiring a landscape professional, remember to look for quality, value,
expertise, and service, not just a rock bottom price. |
| 2. Ask if
the company is fully licensed to operate a business.
Licenses required:
|
|
COUNTY: Consumer affairs
|
TOWN: Some local towns
& villages require special permits.
|
|
INSURANCE:
General Liability and worker's compensation
|
|
PEST CONTROL:
To control certain pests professionally by either the
conventional method, a New York State certified applicators license and
a New York State pesticide business license are required. This means
anything other than fertilizer, lime and grass seed. If the company is
not licensed in all of the aforementioned and works for you, you could
be held liable.
|
| 3.
Ask how
the firm stays on top of industry changes. ask about membership in state
and local associations i.e., Nassau Suffolk Landscape Gardeners
Association, Arborists Assoc., Cornell Cooperative Extension, etc.
Association membership means the company is taking steps to stay current
and informed. |
| 4.
Make sure
the company is capable of doing the job you want done, has the right
equipment, etc. Make sure you and the Landscape Professional understand
exactly what is to be done, price and time table, both of work and
payment. Do not leave room for misunderstanding, be specific, do not
assume anything. |
| 5.
Ask for
references. Make sure the firm is trustworthy and will follow through
with the work to be done. Hopefully, when you hire a Landscape
Professional, especially for maintenance, it is for a long term
relationship. |
