Sustainable Landscape Services:Commercial Landscape Company should include what is best for our environment. Important aspects include cost efficiency, procuring local products and materials, water efficient landscape design, green waste recycling, OMRI certified organic based pesticides, smart watering technology, mulching to reduce water, weeds, and maintenance, using drought-resistant plants, native plant species that are indigenous to the local bay area.

Additional Landscaping Services: All commercial landscape companies are not created equal, consider the services offered, for instance a basic commercial landscape maintenance contractor might include landscape maintenance, irrigation repairs, irrigation upgrades, water management, commercial landscape design and installation, concrete, stone, drainage, and commercial tree care. What services will be offered in the house? will any of these services be subcontracted through a 3rd party? Keep in mind that a contractor typically marks up specialty contractors by 15-30%.

Pricing, why question an amazing low price? You have many choices when it comes to finding a top-notch Commercial Landscape Company. If the price seems amazingly low, there is a reason why. More importantly, some companies come in with low pricing because they are desperate to get the work; they are cutting corners, or perhaps missed a very important aspect of your scope.
