Choosing The Right Landscape Gardeners

Leave a reply

Not everyone has a gift for working in the garden. While it seems like some people effortlessly get their gardens to present so perfectly, others can sweat all day and still not get the same result. But when you hire professional landscape gardeners, then get ready to become the source of envy in the neighborhood.

That’s right, you can sit back and watch your garden turn into an area you want to enjoy all day. But how exactly do you choose the right landscape gardeners for the job?

Some Advice And Tips On Choosing The Right Landscape Gardeners

The following breakdown of tips and advice should help you track down the best landscape gardeners quickly and effectively, just like they’ll take care of your garden.

Check Experience And Reputation

It would be a little ignorant to exclude a new company that just opened its doors, given that someone needs to give them a chance. But do you want to be the one who takes that chance? Or would you feel more comfortable working with landscape gardeners who have been in the business for several years?

If you want to play it safe, go with a company that can prove it has been established for a while. At the same time, do a little research regarding their reputation. It doesn’t hurt to know what people are saying.

Excellent Customer Service

There is no excuse for poor customer service, whether you are buying fast food, opening a bank account, or getting information about landscape gardeners, the service has to be friendly, helpful, and good enough that you want to call again.

Plus, you are going to have some questions before you just let strange people into your garden. Were they all answered clearly during the call?

Exceptional Skills And Services

This is where the real magic comes in because professional landscape gardeners have more than just a little skill with maintaining your garden. With the right service, they can transform it into the vision you have always had but couldn’t get. From cutting the grass to decking and fencing, there is nothing they can’t change or install.

Take note that only some landscape gardeners will offer these special skills, so go ahead and ask about them when you make your inquiry.

Competitive Prices

The reason why you are looking for “competitive” prices rather than “cheap” ones is not complex. Because while you want to stick to a budget for keeping the garden in a healthy and visually appealing condition, services that base all their marketing on cheap pricing most likely offer cheap services.

The point is, you usually get what you pay for, so don’t let the price become the only reason for your final decision. Instead, find a company that won’t mind working with the budget you have.

Ask For A Portfolio

A picture paints a thousand words, and in this case, it can save you thousands of dollars. An established company should have a portfolio of their previous work, along with the gardens they currently work with.

In fact, you can even ask for a reference list of their clients, then you can call them and ask about their experience with the landscape gardeners.

Ask Family And Friends

If you know of any family or friends who are using landscape gardeners, and you like what you see, why not ask for a recommendation? Even though you don’t have to settle for the same service they use, it can be a good place to start getting quotes.

They Have Insurance

Having people work in your garden puts you at risk. For example, if there is no insurance in place and someone gets hurt, you’ll be responsible for the medical costs. However, with professional landscape gardeners, there will always be insurance in place.

If it were to happen that one of the landscape gardeners gets hurt, you won’t be held liable in any way. And this is why you ask about their insurance beforehand.

If you thought that having a beautiful garden was going to stay a dream, think again. Just take some time to find the right landscape gardeners, and your garden can be the rose of the neighborhood.

OUR REFERRALS

  • Paula and Jon Whitty
    We knew that we would need a landscape designer with imagination, creativity and the ability to listen to our requirements. When you came to our house you took time listening to what we wanted and the scale of the project. This was important to us, because we were on a budget and timeline. You then offered wonderful suggestions within the scope and offered details. You have transformed our featureless front garden into a beautiful space where the plantings and lovely stone features enhance the natural contours of the yard and existing trees. Our front yard is now more welcoming and complements the look of the house. You gave us a yard that is easy to maintain and and is beautiful in every season. We are extreemly happy with the quality of the workmanship, and your professional nature, and highly recommend you to all our friends. We couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

    In November 2012 we commissioned Teedo Beggs to landscape our property in Mount Macedon. The distinguishing qualities that determined our decision to go with Teedo (over other companies we had approached) were his knowledge of indigenous/native horticulture, his understanding of and familiarity with the gardens of Mount Macedon, and his ability to help us to articulate and visualize our own garden on what was a modern architectural structure on a sloping building site. The ‘landscape challenges’ Teedo took on were significant, beginning with a sharply sloping block, significant ‘drainage’ issues, and the presence of large forest eucalyptus trees that we wished to keep. Teedo was able to masterfully incorporate our desire to create a garden that would complement or enhance the sharp angular features of the architecture, protect existing vegetation, include and incorporate native/indigenous plantings, build dry rock retention walls, and provide us with a beautiful outdoor living space that we desperately needed. Teedo’s approach to his work impressed us from the outset because of his uncompromising high standards and attention to detail. Whilst the end results in mid-March may have reflected Teedo’s detailed landscape designs to a T, they far surpassed our own expectations and dreams. Our house on a slippery red slope of Mount Macedon had been transformed into a home with a truly beautiful and functional garden. We are exceedingly proud of what Teedo was able to realize and we highly recommend his work- without reservation.

    Teedo Beggs responds to each garden space as an artist, the plants are his media and the landscape is his canvas. He introduces sculptural elements through natural and constructed materials. The result is an ever-changing work of art. How do we know this? Our family was fortunate enough to be able to commission Teedo to transform our country garden into a magical place. Using existing plant forms, such as established trees he creatively introduced new excitement into the landscape. The keyhole design of the formal front lawn added a theatrical element to the entry of the property. Visitors were drawn into a green, scented walkway off the sweeping drive through rendered pillars with the promise of more beyond. This opened out into the drama of the larger garden where the eye was greeted by a sensual vista full of wonderful perfumes, colour and graduating forms that complimented the enormous Golden Elm. A wrought iron handmade bench seat embedded in a hidden position ensured a comfortable view. Visitors were then coaxed downwards to the unfolding garden scenes around the house. Beautiful features were integrated into the many gardens created on the property. A graduated fishpond with its babbling waterways was set in a ‘Fairy Garden’. A tennis wall on the court beyond was superbly engineered and constructed to appear as a ‘crumbling ruin’ from another era. A post and rail fence of cypress enclosed a kitchen garden that featured generous raised beds of vegetables, accompanied by fruit trees and red brick pathways. This was a joy to work in and allowed us to feed our family. Teedo Beggs was not only artistic in his vision and execution of his ideas, but he was very professional, sensitive to our needs as a client and respectful in the way he conducted himself and his team throughout the project. We would highly recommend him

    We have engaged Mr Beggs (Teedo) now for three different landscaping jobs at our residence in Woodend. All jobs have involved both design and construction. In respect of design, Teedo impressed us with his ability to listen and understand our requirements. This lead to a number of design ideas of which we were very pleased. In all cases we then engaged Teedo in the construction. We found his work to be both competitively priced and was completed on time as agreed, despite some minor modifications, at our initiation. The work was finished to a high standard and we have had no reservation in recommending him to our friends and colleagues.

    Being determined to make a garden from an overgrown bush block on the steep slopes of Mt. Macedon had/has it’s challenges. Luckily there is a community here of skilled garden loving and knowledgeable peoples. Most of them think that they are gifted and a few of them actually are. Teedo has an abundant and creative mind that can spit out real and never thought of options and can even more importantly manage these ideas and concepts through to a smooth and real outcome. His forte’ is structural garden design and then the project management/implementation of that design. He has an accurate and unusually quick eye for land/earth contours, levels and drainage. These lines evolve into structure, light and shade, harmony and reflections. Working with him has been a straightforward and professional affair. I have never given him a cheque without feeling pride, happiness and goodwill.
