5 Things to Consider When Hiring a Landscaper

  1. Make sure your landscaper has an up-to-date commercial application license.
  2. Inquire about the type of fertilizer being used and if it is compliant with best management practices.
  3. Ask your landscaper to perform a soil test for your property and review the fertilizer plan before application begins. 
  4. Even organic compost has high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, please have it tested before use to make sure It meets appropriate standards.
  5. Opt for native vegetation wherever possible. Plant a native vegetative buffer between your property and any water body.
