How do I choose the right landscaping contractor?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Check for proper licensing and insurance. Ask for references and photos of past projects similar to yours. Get at least three written estimates. Ask about their experience with South Jersey's soil and climate. Clarify who will be on site and whether they use subcontractors. Get a detailed written contract including timeline, payment schedule, and warranty. Trust your instincts about professionalism and communication.

Why It Matters

A good landscaping contractor saves you money and stress. The wrong one can leave you with shoddy work, budget overruns, and unfinished projects.
