Landscapers are professionals and it important to maintain a good professional working relationship between the two of you to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. If you do too much to make them feel too comfortable, then it is easy to lose the respect you deserve as a client, and if you do to little, then the process will be full of tense moments. So how can you work with your landscaper?
Choose the type of landscaper you need
Landscapers are classified into four categories: architects, contractors, designers, and gardeners. Make sure you school yourself on who you need and what they do. You may refer a designer as a gardener, and not all the pros have the grace of “letting it go.” You end up offending them thus ruining the working relationship. Do not forget to make sure that he is certified.
Budget
Decide on the budget so that the landscaper can know what he is working with. He will be able to offer you packages that are in your price range and can easily settle. If you do not know the amount you are planning to spend on the landscape, you may end up frustrating yourself as well as the landscape.
Give them space
It is good to keep up with the progress of the project, but if you are always on the site, you tend to get in the way, not to mention annoy the landscaper. Keep your presence at the site as minimal as possible. Look for something better to do like spend time with your family at the park or catch on your tax calculations.
Landscapers are professionals just like any other individual. You should treat them with the grace and respect that you would like your colleague, for the best working relationship between you and you landscaper.
