This will help to ensure they are well-trained and knowledgeable on the best methods to care for your landscape effectively.<\/li><li><strong>Ask for recommendations.<\/strong> Check with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors for recommendations or look at online reviews. Getting an idea of other people\u2019s experiences will help you weed out the bad companies and get a better idea of who you can trust to get the work done.<\/li><li><strong>Check out past projects.<\/strong> Ask to see the company\u2019s portfolio of past project pictures and referrals. A reputable company should provide these with no hesitation.<\/li><li><strong>Regular maintenance.<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget that once the initial work is completed, maintenance and upkeep is inevitable.
