How to Choose the Right Landscaper
Improving or redesigning the landscaping on your Altoona, State College, or Bedford property can feel overwhelming. With so many contractors to choose from, how do you know who can deliver the quality, creativity, and professionalism your project deserves?
The best place to start is by choosing a landscaper with the right experience, vision, and track record.
TL;DR - How to Choose the Right Landscaper
- Look for an experienced landscaper with a proven, authentic portfolio.
- Verify their past work in person if possible, and ask for referrals.
- Choose someone who understands your vision and offers helpful design suggestions.
- Make sure they have the equipment, skill, and artistic ability to execute your project professionally.
- Pick a company that stands behind their work with a strong warranty.
- Remember: “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”
Look for Proven Experience
Not all landscapers have the same level of expertise. When reviewing companies online, check whether the photos in their portfolio are their actual work—not images pulled from the internet. Whenever possible, visit completed projects in person to see their craftsmanship firsthand.
Ask the contractor for referrals or permission to view past work similar to your own project. A landscaper who lacks experience, proper equipment, or artistic ability is likely to leave you disappointed.
Choose a Landscaper Who Understands Your Vision
A great landscape designer doesn’t just follow a plan—they help elevate it. Ask yourself:
-
Do they understand my goals and style?
-
Do they offer ideas and suggestions that improve the design?
-
Do they communicate clearly and confidently?
The right landscaper will collaborate with you to bring your vision to life.
Make Sure They Stand Behind Their Work
Even the best-built landscapes may eventually need adjustments. That’s why it’s important to choose a company that offers a solid warranty and stands behind its craftsmanship.
Tussey Landscaping proudly provides this assurance through the Tussey Warranty, giving you confidence long after the project is complete.
And remember the timeless truth:
“The Bitterness of Poor Quality remains long after the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten.”
