What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.
Landscape designers and builders for yards, grading, planting and hardscape. Use this checklist when you compare landscape contractors, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.
- Ask about grading away from the foundation and drainage.
- Call Utility Safety Partners (Click Before You Dig) before any digging.
- Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
- Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
- Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
- Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
