Drive through any town in America and chances are landscaping will be apparent. It comes in many forms, from intricate carvings in bushes, to subtlety-pruned trees. It ranges from unperceivable to overt, and it’s everywhere. Homeowners often, “keep up with the Jonses,” by having unspoken competitions over who can have the best yard. Businesses make sure their storefronts look pristine in order to attract business. Everyone seems to need a landscaper.
Why Hire a Landscaper
Depending on motive, business or personal reasons, it will dictate the reasoning behind landscaping. A business has a clear motive behind making its greenery look presentable. A customer is much more likely to visit a company who has a visually appealing storefront. It’s professionalism. A lawyer looking to win his case would never appear in court without a suit and tie, just as a company looking sell their product would never let their store front be anything less than presentable. Homeowner motive is slightly more complex.
As a homeowner, one must use a cost benefit analysis to determine whether landscaping is a smart move. As a scenario, a person moves to Chesapeake, VA and buys a home that’s part of a homeowners association. Their HOA dictates that the lawn must be mowed to exactly a quarter inch length every week. The average person doesn’t have the time or correct lawnmower to make this happen, and so the new homeowner needs professional landscaping in Chesapeake, VA. Having a professionally landscaped yard; groomed trees, native manicured plants, a tastefully constructed patio can all increase property values. If the homeowner decides to sell the house, a high price can be commanded.
Where to Start
Hiring a landscaper is simple, hiring a good one is not. Like the example above, when searching for landscaping in Chesapeake, VA, you will find hundreds if not thousands, of results. To narrow down these selections, make phone calls, inquire about services, but above all, go look at their work. Ask around to see who had their landscaping done by whom. The house that always has beautiful blooming lilac trees probably has someone expertly pruning them. The house with the patio surrounded by flowers probably was not constructed by anyone with less than professional knowledge. An internet search is a good start to become familiar with the names and gain contact info, but word of mouth holds most of the clout.
