  • Insurance: Does the designer/landscaper carry liability insurance? This is very important should damage occur to your property as a result of their activities. A good company always carries this type of insurance.

  • Guarantee: Find out if the work is guaranteed and get it in writing. In fact, get everything in writing to avoid any miscommunication.
