Hiring checklist
How to hire landscapers: the checklist
Five things to confirm before you sign a landscaping contract, so you hire on proof and price, not a sales pitch.
Before you sign
- Confirm whether the bid separates maintenance from project work.
- Ask who handles irrigation repairs after install.
- Check that plant and material choices fit your water rules.
- Get the install warranty and plant guarantee in writing.
- Confirm cleanup and haul-away are priced in.
Typical landscaping price range
Maintenance runs roughly $100 to $300 a visit; installs and hardscape run into the thousands.
Common questions
What should a landscaping quote include?
An itemized scope, a clear price, and the warranty terms in writing. Avoid a vague lump sum. On Quotrr the proposal is itemized and you sign it from a link.
How much does landscaping work cost?
Maintenance runs roughly $100 to $300 a visit; installs and hardscape run into the thousands. Treat it as a starting range and compare itemized bids for your specific job.
How do I verify a landscaping contractor's track record?
Look for documented completed jobs rather than a star rating. Quotrr contractors carry verified jobs, non-deletable Props, and a Quotrr Score on a published formula.
Should I pay a deposit for landscaping work?
A reasonable deposit is normal, but tie it to an itemized signed proposal and follow the job so payment matches visible progress.
Where can I find landscapers near me?
Start with the landscaping near-me page, then browse contractors by metro or state. You hire a contractor you chose, with no lead auction.
