Choosing the Best Landscaping Company in Memphis, TN

Beautiful Landscaping - Hydrangea Hedge

Choosing the best landscaping company for your project can be a tough choice. Many companies advertise "top-rated," "the area's best," etc. Most companies use these keywords or phrases to attract attention while performing subpar work and providing underwhelming craftsmanship.

If you wish to find a true high-quality landscaping company in the Memphis, TN area that provides top-tier landscaping services with an emphasis on artist-like craftsmanship like Botaniscapes Landscape Design & Installation, ask yourself and your prospective landscaper these questions before committing to a particular landscaping company.

Portfolio of Quality Work

One of the most important components of choosing a landscaping company for your project is understanding their aesthetic and the quality of their work. You want to work with a company whose quality and aesthetic match the vision you have for your home. If a landscaping company does not offer a portfolio to showcase its recent projects, it won't be easy to rest assured you have chosen the right company.

When reviewing a potential landscaping company's portfolio, please take note of the attention they pay to the project details. Are their bed edges properly trenched to create a lip for the mulch to fall and lay properly for a crisp edge? Are their plants adequately spaced and arranged in an aesthetic manner that pulls the eye in to explore the landscape? Do they intentionally use garden accents, such as boulders, in a focused way that doesn't distract from the overall landscape? Design is in the details, and if a landscaping company ignores the details, its focus is likely not on quality craftsmanship.

The Right Price

Pricing plays a significant part in filtering out landscaping companies during your decision process. Pricing reveals more about a company than you might have thought initially.

When factoring a company's proposed pricing into your decision, focus on the median price. A good rule of thumb is avoiding the highest and lowest bidders. The contractors whose prices fall in the middle are generally a safe choice, so long as you vet the company's project quality, customer referrals, and understanding of your specific needs.

Customer References

Let's face it – companies with poor customer service make the customer experience dreadful. That's why Botaniscapes Landscape Design & Installation considers itself a customer service company with an emphasis on landscaping. We believe customer satisfaction is critical to a company's trajectory and success. If our customers aren't happy, we aren't happy. We even display our customer reviews as a trophy on our website!

Before agreeing to a project with a prospective landscaping company, ask their representative for customer references so that you can reach out to existing and past customers to gauge their satisfaction. If their previous customers were unhappy with their experience and the quality of the company's customer service, there is a good chance you will be too. If a landscaping company is unwilling to provide customer references, they are likely not a credible company with a history of excellence in customer satisfaction.

Understanding Your Project

Last but certainly not least is a landscaping company's ability to understand your needs and vision. If a company cannot pinpoint and understand the exact problems you are experiencing and wish to correct, it can't help bring your vision to life. The first step in creating a beautiful solution is understanding the problems and pain points you are experiencing.

Ask the representative you are working with for a written summary or scope of work that outlines the problems you discussed and a detailed explanation of the solution they propose to address your issues. This detailed scope of work will illustrate how well the landscaping contractor understands your problems and ensures their solutions align with your vision for your home!
