Measure length and width of each lawn section with a tape or a phone app and multiply to get square meters. For irregular shapes, split the area into rectangles and add them together. Note slopes, narrow access points under 2 m wide, and any spots that flood. Photos from several angles help the professional estimate labor and equipment needs accurately before visiting your property.
Very low prices usually mean uninsured labour, shared equipment, or skipped steps like edging, blowing or hauling. Ask for proof of liability insurance, worker compensation and a list of recent local addresses you can drive past. A written warranty of at least 12 months is standard.
Before any digging the contractor must call the local locates service, usually a free visit taking 2 to 3 business days. Stay at least 3 m from overhead power lines when using a pole pruner. Confirm the crew carries insulated gloves and eye protection, not only boots and a hat.
Each task should appear with its own price: mow, edge, trim, blow, prune, mulch. Labour hours and crew size matter because 2 workers for 45 minutes costs less than 3 workers for 60 minutes. If disposal of green waste is missing, ask who hauls it and where it goes.
On the first visit the crew usually brings a compact track loader, push mowers, string trimmers, hedge shears and a leaf blower. Hand tools include rakes, shovels and pruning saws. Ask whether machines are stored overnight on your driveway or transported daily, because diesel weight can mark asphalt over time.
Call the local utility locator before any digging deeper than 300 mm to avoid hitting gas, water, or electrical lines. Retaining walls over 1 m tall often require a permit and engineered plans. Tree removal near power lines should never be handled by a general landscaper without certification. Ask for proof of liability insurance covering property damage and worker injuries on site.
Patios need a base of compacted crushed stone at least 100 mm thick topped with 30 mm of bedding sand to avoid sinking. Borders should sit 10 mm above the turf to allow easy mowing without scalping. French drains 150 mm wide filled with gravel resolve most backyard puddles. Request a slope of 2 percent away from the house foundation to protect walls.
Most flowering shrubs should be pruned within 2 weeks after blooming ends, not on a calendar schedule. Cuts larger than 25 mm in diameter on trees benefit from a sealing compound and must follow the branch collar. Avoid topping cuts, which stress the plant and cause weak regrowth. Request that the crew disposes of clippings and never leaves stubs above 10 mm.
Landscaping includes lawn care, pruning, planting, irrigation repairs, mulching, and small earthworks like leveling or building a raised bed. Ask for a written list that separates ongoing maintenance from one-time work. Confirm whether the quote covers debris removal, because hauling branches or old sod often adds a separate fee. Get the area measured in square meters before signing anything.
Patio and walkway quotes depend on base preparation, material thickness and access for a wheelbarrow or mini excavator. A 30 m² flagstone patio with 10 cm of compacted crushed stone base and polymeric sand joints typically takes 4 to 6 working days for a 3 person crew.
