Have you tried a cheaper landscaper and they botched the job?
We are often called out to see if we can fix or finish a job that some other "landscaper" started and could not finish or just did not know what they are doing. It really does pay to hire a true professional when it comes to landscaping. Professionally trained and educated designers can choose the right plant for the right place. We also can provide the expertise on proper installation of hardscaping such as pavers and retaining walls. We are professionally certified to perform these types of jobs, our crews are trained and operate to certain safety standards. If you don't use someone that is credible, has the proper training and certifications, you are rolling the dice. Sure it may be cheaper, but is it really?
If you hire someone and they perform the task and it fails after the first year who is going to pay and how much are you willing to pay to get it fixed? It could cost you double! For example you have a paver driveway installed and the person(s) you hired did not know what they were doing and only put down a minimal amount of base material. A year later you have ruts in your driveway and the guy you hired is out of business. To fix this problem I would need to pull up the pavers, excavate existing materials down to the proper depth and start the process all over again. In essence you will be paying double or even more to get this corrected. If you do not fix it your property value will decline and you have some liability issues to consider.
We have the expertise and resources to fix what the other guy couldn't do correctly the first time.

Shameless self promotion of Sunrise landscape + design
I will admit my reason for this blog is to promote my company Sunrise landscape + design formerly Sunrise Lawn/Landscaping Services, Inc.
The other reason I do this is to inform the public about the challenges we as professionals face in dealing with clients, issues we run up against in the field and just some things to consider in your own landscape here in the Northern VA area.
Since we are in what most landscaing experts term a "transition zone", basically we have some of the extreme cold of the north to some of the extreme heat and humidity from the south. This poses a challenge to growing certain species of plants and turf. Alot of consumers don't comprehend the effect climate has on how well plants grow. Hopefully some of these posts will address and make some of those issues clear. One great example of this is hemlock trees. The heat here is just too much in most cases and the plants are constantly stressed which makes them more susceptible to pests and diseases.
I will always recommend hiring professionals to perform the design and the work. That does not mean you as the consumer can't have input. That is the great thing about working with Professionals. We can take your ideas and make sure they will work in reality. We can bring up things you may not have thought about such as drainage and how it is impacted when you install a retaining wall or patio.
We love working with clients that have an idea of what they want and just need some help implementing it. Give us a call 703-544-0028 to help you get the value and the most out of your property.
