Questions to ensure you are choosing the right Landscape
Contractor for your property:
1)
What is your design experience and qualifications?
It
is important to know that your contractor has the knowledge
and experience
to choose the right plants
for your property.
Remember that just because it looks good on paper and the
day it goes in doesn’t mean it will look good in 10 years.
Our designers, Jeremy and Jason proudly maintain their PCH certification.
PCH’s have distinguished themselves by successfully completing
a comprehensive study program and examination which tests
their skill and knowledge of landscaping, plant maintenance,
and biology.
A certified horticulturalist is dedicated to enhancing their
skills to help give you the results you want and deserve.
Currently, Jeremy and Jason are 2 of only 3 people in the
surrounding area
with this certification.
2) Can you give me a list of Referrals?

better way to discover a contractor’s
reputation than to ask his previous clients. We will gladly
direct you

3)
Philosophy of Business?

4) What kind of warranty’s do you offer on plants and
hardscapes?
We strive to provide you with highest grade plant material.
All plants are guaranteed to be disease and insect free. Our
stock is locally grown and raised so that it is already acclimated
to the local climate. In addition, all of our plant material
comes with a 1-Year warranty from the day it is installed. All
hardscape projects(Walls, Steps, Walks, Patios) possess a 1-year
guarantee for frost movement and a manufacturers lifetime guarantee
for damage.
5) Does your company have Workman’s Compensation and Insurance?
Hiring
a company without either puts you the client at risk if an
employee of the company gets hurt on the
job. B.C Landscaping

6) What is your Integrated Pest Management strategy?
When a pest or disease problem occurs, what is the preferred
method of control. B. C Landscaping believes in first consulting
with the client, informing them of the problem and concurring
upon a safe and practical plan to resolve the situation. We
take time to properly diagnose the exact pest, then determine
the threshold in which the pest becomes a danger to the health
of the host plant. If the threshold is crossed, we composite
the best management practices which are often a combination
of mechanical, biological, and chemical methods to control it.
Before action, all procedures are documented clearly to the
client to ensure they are in accordance with the control strategy.
7) Are you certified to install pavers and segmented walls?
Our company maintains elite status as Interlocking Concrete
Pavement Institute (ICPI) certified contractors. ICPI certification
requires passing an extensive exam covering technical knowledge
and the proper procedures for installing all types of hardscape
materials. In addition, we participate in continual education
to ensure we are on the cutting edge of installation techniques.
Currently we are the only contractors in the surrounding area
with this certification.
