Anytime you might be looking for someone to install plants, mow the lawn, or other landscaping Tenafly has several options. Many renters, homeowners, and business owners take advantage of the services of a landscaper, either on a regular basis or only when they need certain work performed. This is a big help to those who are busy and may not have time to take care of their yard, perhaps they are unable to do the work due to physical limitations, or maybe they want to redo an entire area and lack the know-how to do so.

Landscaping companies can vary from those who only offer lawn care services to those who will complete large projects, from the design to installation. Depending upon the company, different services are available. The price may also vary based on the level of knowledge of the owner and employees.

The basic services that a landscaping business may offer are: mowing, trimming, fertilization, aeration, power raking (also known as de-thatching) and yard clean up in general. Companies who only perform these basic services might not necessarily be trained in earth moving and other invasive landscaping procedures, so be sure to ask questions. However, companies who focus on mowing have very reasonable rates for these basic services.

A step up from basic trimming and mowing, other companies may plant flowers, trees, and shrubs and can also assist in choosing what to plant. These services are more invasive and do require digging and some earth moving. It is important to contact utility companies before any digging is performed to locate buried lines, which may cause considerable inconvenience and expense if damaged or severed. Most utility companies will perform this service for free.

True landscapers have been trained in design and will perform larger projects, such as installation of ponds or water features, retaining walls, patios, and can even redo an entire lawn. These companies are also good for landscaping around new homes and businesses, and larger projects such as golf courses.

A professional will be aware of the need to examine soil composition (especially important when dealing with drainage), pest control, and what plants are best for that particular region or soil type. Plants native to the area can also often use less water and be easier to care for, perfect for those who want to spend as little time as possible on upkeep. They will also assist in locating plants that will fit within the budget constraints of the project.

A landscaper will also provide a complete layout of the project, and include a timeline and budget, so you know what to expect. They should also show proof of liability insurance, just in case. A contract should also be signed, which protects both the customer and the landscaping company. It is also a good idea to check references and their standing in the community-the BBB often has information on local companies and it is easy to look them up online.

When looking for landscaping Tenafly will have the right company for you. Often these businesses can be found online, showing their rates and possibly photos of complete projects. A good landscaper will make your business or home look fabulous and can save time and even money on upkeep in the long run.
