Like any work we may have to achieve, the question is "How to be sure to choose the right company? ". Especially in an area where the number of so-called "landscaping" companies is constantly increasing. First internet search in your locality and its surroundings will already sharply reduce this number. So we'll give you the keys to help you make the right choice.

NOTORIETY

Even before you start your search, there may be a name you know. This name you may have seen it on advertisements, vehicles or heard from friends or neighbors, ... Perhaps you have even seen gardens made by this company.
A company's notoriety is not the main criterion for your choice, but reassures that other people have trusted it and also gives an indication of the company's durability.
Moreover, each professional has the possibility to share his work via his website, his Facebook professional ... Feel free to consult all the elements available on the web to ensure that the professional will be able to realize your project. The notoriety to share all these elements a reassuring and reassuring side.

IS THE PROFESSIONAL THE MAN OF THE SITUATION?

If a small company with less than 3 employees may be sufficient for small garden work, for a complete garden recovery, this will probably be insufficient.
Creating a garden requires multiple skills and sometimes requires a team to be mobilized for several weeks and requires substantial equipment.
If the landscaping profession demands to be extremely versatile, knowing how to move from landscape masonry to the construction of a basin, pay attention to entrepreneurs offering many services with little human means. Similarly many landscapers are today piscinists, which can be a real advantage since the development will be thought of as a whole. But if there are very good landscape designers and piscinists, not all of them have the hindsight and experience that this dual competence requires.
Hence the importance sometimes that the company belongs to certain groups such as the FPP, the Esprit swimming pool and others and benefits from labels (Propiscine, Gardens of excellence, etc.) which assures you of its professionalism.

DESIGN
Although many technical considerations may be involved in choosing your landscape architect, setting up a garden is also and above all a design story. The proposal of your landscaper must match your needs and even meet your demands and this in a current garden style.
Many professionals will be eager to follow your instructions and will offer you very few ideas. However, when you call on a landscape architect, it must be a force of proposal  to suggest the solutions best suited to your field and your budget, even if they do not correspond to the ideas you have made of it .

Feel free to ask to see examples of garden design, it is important to make sure the company to meet your expectations.

THE PRICE
Despite the above criteria, this is often the determining factor to the choice of your landscape designer, it is the last line of the estimate.
The reflex that everyone will have, is to go right to the end to see the overall cost, but of course we must analyze what the quote contains. The first thing to see, is the quote detailed item by item?
To understand a price, it is important to see and understand what it contains. This way you will be able to define the quality / price ratio. For an "identical" service, you will get different quotes. Even if for a terrace, each company offers you a pavement, one will have you can be offered natural stone by taking all the foundations while another will offer the prefabricated laid on the existing pavement.
A landscape architect could have included the passage of sheaths for future lighting, work not planned by its competitor. After that it is according to your level of requirement and quality desired that you will make your choice.

GUARANTEES AND INSURANCE

It is necessary to know that in case of landscape masonry works (walls, pools, gates ...), the ten-year guarantee is obligatory, it allows the landscaper to benefit from a professional civil liability that will cover his achievements for a period of 10 years. It will therefore guarantee you the resumption and repair of works in the event that major damage occurs on the work carried out.
It is therefore essential to ensure that the professional to whom you are appealing subscribes to a "ten-year liability" insurance.

AFFINITY
We have all already had a feeling of "good impression" in the face of a new encounter.
This impression that one makes oneself of the people, or one feels that the current is passed and with whom it is simple to communicate.
And it can be the same with artisans, you know from the first appointment that he understands you, that he will meet your expectations and that there is a very good chance that your garden project will Do with him. And even if no one can explain it, it is therefore a not insignificant factor in the choice of your landscape designer.
