Is your schedule too busy for you to keep up with your yard work? Are you looking to transform your landscape for a newly designed garden or outdoor living space? Maybe you’re looking to add a pool, water feature, or pergola. Whatever your motivations, you have decided it’s time to hire professionals to serve your landscaping needs. Which landscaping company in Kingsport is right for you? To help you decide, Promier Landscapes came up with this list of questions you should ask before hiring a landscaping company.

First, do your homework

When hiring a professional, it helps to research and explore your options. In this digital age, this is easier than ever. You can start by going online and searching for “landscaping companies near me in Kingsport.” Look for online reviews and examples of work and projects they’ve completed. You can also ask your friends, neighbors, and coworkers if they use a professional landscaper and, if so, whom they recommend.

Next, schedule a site visit

You’ve narrowed the field to a handful of candidates to provide professional landscaping services in Johnson City. Now what? Any reputable landscaping company should offer site visits. This is where a staff member comes to your home and business to see your property for themselves. You’ll explain your needs and wants when it comes to your outdoor space, pointing out any particular concerns or special requests. From there, the contractor will provide an estimate for the proposed services.

Questions to ask during your site visit

  • How long has your company been in business? The length of time a company has been in business stands as evidence that the company has been producing quality work for a lengthy period of time. Promier Landscapes has been in business since 2003.
  • How large is your company? A bigger company is going to have more staff. That means more people available to handle specific jobs, address service issues, and handle any needs that may arise on your property in an efficient fashion.
  • Is your company licensed and insured? Only consider hiring a landscaping company that is licensed and insured. This protects the company, its workers, and yourself if there is an incident or accident while serving your property. Promier Landscapes is licensed and insured.
  • What are your qualifications? A top-rated landscaping company is going to be run by someone with an educational and professional background in both horticulture and agriculture—with other trained professionals on the staff bringing their expertise to the table. Promier Landscapes is headed by three experts, all of whom have degrees in horticultural design from the University of Tennessee. We employ professionals trained and certified in the special contracting services we provide, including irrigation installation, pool installation, and construction of hardscapes such as retaining walls.
  • What services do you provide? It’s better to find one landscaping company that can meet all of your current and potential needs rather than hire multiple companies for different needs. 

If you choose Promier Landscapes, we can serve a wide variety of needs, including:

  • Lawn maintenance
  • Landscape design
  • Irrigation and/or sprinkler winterization
