Now that you have an idea of what kind of services you’re looking for, it’s time to start looking for the landscaping company that can provide them for you. So where do you start looking?

Well, the answer may literally be on your doorstep! Landscaping companies are famous for traveling around to neighborhoods that they cater to, leaving flyers and pamphlets about the services they offer. Chances are that if you open your door and just look in your mailbox, there are already one or two names of landscaping companies in there.

Other places to start looking for a landscaping company are in the phone book (you’ll be surprised how many are in there too!), and by doing a simple search online. Truthfully, if you have the knowledge and skills, a landscaping company is relatively easy to start up, so there’s a lot of competition out there. This is good news for the consumer, because it means you’ll have a good choice of qualified contractors, but it does also mean doing a bit more research to weed out those that won’t work for you.

Of course if you know anyone who’s recently overhauled their lawn, or currently has a contract with a landscaping company, you can always ask them if they are happy with the work and what they do and don’t like about the company. If you’re feeling very brazen, you can even drive around looking at the lawns of different homes. When you see one that is similar to the vision you have for your landscaping, you could even knock on the door and ask them who does their landscaping. Sometimes you can just even look on the lawn.

Often landscaping companies have mini-flyers attached to posts that they leave on lawns for the exact purpose of advertising to those who want to know who’s responsible for that beautiful lawn!
